Here’s a fun writing exercise: create a livejournal or other blog for a fictional character, and write a journal in that person’s voice. I decided to do that today and just see where it takes me. I know a lot of people on LJ have “side” journals that are anonymous where they are more free to be big ol exhibitionists/perverts (heh). And that there are also numerous fictional journals too — people playing a character. I look at it as a writing exercise though. I’m not going to publicize it, but if someone stumbles upon it, hopefully they will also stumble upon the fine print disclaimer.

I had vivid dreams this morning. In one, I got out of bed, and was fully aware that I was dreaming. I walked into the kitchen and looked at the back door, which was covered with plywood. Again, totally lucid, which made me realize the control I had, that I could bring whatever I wanted to life. I opened the door and decided there would be horses outside. But then I woke up goddammit.
