I had a dream two nights ago. In my dream, I was a desperate aspiring novelist who tried writing her first novel but could not go beyond the first paragraph. This paragraph was vivid and verbatim. Yes, I want to write a novel, but I feel I can never write one. Do you think this paragraph has a potential? Are there writers who rely on dreams for their stories? Are dreams fictions in graphic form?
"Every Friday that came with the sudden rush of doubts was a torture. It was the day my husband, ten years my junior, locked himself in the art studio with a retired ballerina, his portrait subject, his painting muse. Once they were inside, I had no idea what occurred or what they did. I was not a passive, battered wife. Yes, it hurt, but I could not complain because I allowed it. I was the one who found Maya. I befriended her. I arranged their meeting. I paid for her expenses and charges. I assured her it was alright with me. It had always been this way since I married Sebastian."
