Dream Woman

Damn, I wish I’d had some un-interrupted time to write this morning. I had a dream, some woman dredged from my subconscious. A person as complete and real and defined as any dream I’ve had in years. The last time I had a dream like this, about a person this real, that dream grew into […]

Damn, I wish I’d had some un-interrupted time to write this morning.

I had a dream, some woman dredged from my subconscious. A person as complete and real and defined as any dream I’ve had in years. The last time I had a dream like this, about a person this real, that dream grew into Wanton, my novella.

I woke up with my head full of this girl – young, tattooed all over her back and shoulders with vivid images, plants and birds and colorful insects, curly haired, wearing hippie/gypsy sort of jewelry. She was wearing tiny round glasses.

I wanted to write out the dream, because I could feel a story forming in my head around this woman. I had the setting, the edges of a plot. And the scent of her, the feel of her skin.

It’s sliding away now, hours later, and I fear before I have time to write it, it’ll be gone.

Image stash

I just figured out that ecto, my blog editor (and dude if you’re not using ecto, get on it, it rules, at least on the mac) keeps an image cache of all image uploads. So I have this whole directory full of images I’d uploaded in the past. I’m right now pushing them all up […]

I just figured out that ecto, my blog editor (and dude if you’re not using ecto, get on it, it rules, at least on the mac) keeps an image cache of all image uploads. So I have this whole directory full of images I’d uploaded in the past.

I’m right now pushing them all up to my server, so the broken image links in old posts are almost all being fixed with no intervention on my part.

Let me know if you find any broken image links anywhere, I’m sure there are a few, but most of ’em are working now.

Once again, ecto saves me. I love ecto.
