A writer’s dream (or was it a nightmare?)
I woke up a few mornings ago, stepped over the dog on the floor and headed to the kitchen to let out the dogs that were not still asleep. There are three dogs here, and the routine is pretty set. It was still dark, as is what happens this time of year, and all of a sudden I remembered my dream.
Secret Agents. Lots of mystery. Intrigue. Anxiety. Excitement. Nervousness. The secret agents were elusive yet glamorous. There were gadgets, guns and fast cars. I wasn’t part of the dream, but I was very involved. I awoke a little tired. There were some chase scenes. Lots of hiding.
Oh, and the secrets agents at the center of this James Bond-esque dream?
Literary agents.
No joke. Even as a writer – I don’t think I could have made that up. And I thought – who would understand? Hell, who would believe me?
Then I remembered all of you!
(There is blog that hosts Secret Agent contests. I’ve never participated, but I do read that blog)
That’s hilarious! Did I ever tell you about the time I dreamt I had hot cocoa in a cafe with Nathan Bransford and Jonathan Lyons? True story.
Melanie,
That’s hysterical – but sounds like fun. Next time invite me along, will ya?

Oooh, secret agents! I LOVE James Bond stuff. And I so wish I could write it. I might try after this novel is done.
Dreams are great, aren’t they? Too funny.
LAUGHING~! good lawd….:-)
Sooo funny and I believe you! LOL!
HAHA! Can’t turn it off, even in dream world,huh?????
That’s hilarious! I love it when the wall between the real world and the dream world breaks down. It can be so weirdly amusing.
Melissa, I’ll see if I can dream up a good storyline for you!
MindyMom, I much prefer a Secret Agent dream to one of those stepping off a curb and waking up dreams!!
Kathryn, I aim to please!
Jamie, I know, who could make up this sh*t, huh?
Alicia and Caryn, I was thinking that when I start dreaming about all the bloggers I know but haven’t met, it might be time to reconsider how I spend my time!
I KNEW Y’ALL WOULD UNDERSTAND!!
amy
hehehe! Yep! Sounds just like what you go through trying to forge relationships with those mysterious literary agents. I’m so with you on this one!
That.is.awesome.
Jenni – I know it was a dream but I think it was also sort of real! Ugh!
Janna – Thanks! I knew I HAD to share!
