Dec. 16th, 2002 10:18 amToo much caffeine + the first gaming session in almost a month = up until midnight, awake in bed until 2, and then strange, strange dreams. I'd befriended this wild bird that was half-goose, half-peacock, but I was worried about hunting season coming so I was going to drive it to Mexico, but then as we loaded the car it (the goose, not the car) started looking like Bugs Bunny and I was Daffy, and we were actually loading our props for a vaudeville tour...
and meanwhile this housewife who looked strangely like the main character of my book was getting strange results during her medical exam, and it was starting to look like she'd eaten some strange toxic fish and as a result was turning into one of the Zerg from 'Starcraft'...
...and meanwhile I was entering this place that was Chuck E. Cheese meets the Disney Store, one of those birthday party 'warehouses' with different theme rooms, and it turned out that I was here for my party but I was hours early, so I volunteered to help out if there was anything that needed to be doing, and they were going to have me sweep...and that's when the alarm went off.
And while brushing my teeth I *finally* figured out what I'd been doing wrong with the scene I've spent a week being blocked on. Fae in cyberspace would not have a floaty 'Tron' environment with neon, they'd create fully-interactive 3D environments to live in. Time to rewrite, but the dialogue's already popping into my head fully-formed. At last, at last, at last.
