Welcome to Unbridled Dreams, realm of aspiring author Sydney Grey. This blog is a means for me share the highs and lows of my journey toward completing Dreamscape, my first novel. I have been writing this novel for quite some time (I’m going to refrain from mentioning how long) and I feel that now is the time to have this story finally told from beginning to end. It won’t be easy by any means, but it must be done. I’ve invested too much in this book to back down on it now – in many ways, it has become an inseparable part of myself, a sentiment I’m sure is shared by the many writers out there.
I suppose it would be wise for me to first mention how much of this story I’ve already written. I already have a solid idea of where Dreamscape‘s plot is going, who my characters will be, and what my very elaborate setting is like. And I’ve already written a good chunk of it, although most of it needs a major rewrite. I’ll post some more information as soon as I can.
It’s an exciting time.
I look forward to hearing about it. I will agree with you that now is a good time to finish Dreamscape. You’ll be glad you did.

Good for you! It’s great that you’re still enjoying the writing and determined to finish the story.
Once you have the first draft done, and know where the story is going, the rewriting will be a lot of fun.

Well, maybe the revision won’t be all that much fun…in my case it means coming up with a bunch of new scenes, but getting the first draft done from start to finish is a great feeling. Go for it!

As your sister, I know the best dreams come from you. I’ve seen you grow as a writer over the years and NO ONE is more anxious to read this novel as I am.
Just as you are my slave-driver, I will be yours. So move it or lose it, Syd. There are dreams to steal!
