I have trouble sleeping. Every night I lie awake,  waiting for sleep to take me. When it finally does,  my worst fears come to life. Maybe not always fears,  sometimes things I wish I could do over,  wish I could do now,  and things that I hope for overwhelm me in the most spectacular dreams. My husband suggested I should keep a dream journal and use that to create a novel. His advice has paid off and I have two short stories and a novel in process.
