/lit/ - Literature

Just finished the very rough first pass at a short story. Feels good to complete something even if needs a ton of work yet. I'm also very happy to have got into a mode of writing regularly. I was very disillusioned with the whole thing for a while, but eventually I realized I was really just sick of forcing myself to write "literary" stories instead of just writing what I wanted. I also feel a lot better mentally going to bed each day having created something, even if it's just 500 more words that will probably never be read.

Good night and sweet dreams /lit/ <3

I keep having dreams that take place in my town but with the area off to the northwest replaced with more fantastical scenery (in reality this area is undeveloped and rather boring). It is fairly consistent between dreams as well, I want to explore it but I do not know how to (how can you consciously explore a product of your unconscious?)
