I dream like full-on movies--stories complete from beginning to end. Other times I just put a pen to notebook paper and just let whatever idea flow out and the characters just kind of appear to introduce themselves. The worst is when I get a great idea and I'm in like the shower or something and I can't write it down
My problem is that sometimes I come up with what I think are completely brilliant ideas, but there's no way I'm going to write the story because it's outside my skill-set. Like too much science would be involved, and I am definitely not a scientist. It makes me sad, because here's this great story and nobody else will get to enjoy it.
