Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my little corner of quirkiness. The purpose of this blog is to make it easier to connect with my readers. It's really that simple. The name of the blog, "Quirky Dreams," is relevant only in that my dreams are often quirky, unusual ones, and they are also where I get many of my writing ideas from. I dream in full-length, color, high-def story lines, and if they are remembered, I write them down. Parts or all of these dreams may enter a story. A story might be based around a single dream or an idea from a dream. Regardless of which it is, this is my writing blog, so kick back in your chair, bed, recliner, or airport terminal, and enjoy the blog.

Conversation Questions

Sometimes, I really enjoy bringing certain questions up in a conversation because they can really get a fun and interesting discussion going. You never know what will pop up from them (including story ideas).

  1. If you were going to a deserted island, and you could only bring X number of things, what would you bring?
  2. What weapons would you use if there was a zombie apocalypse? How would you survive?
  3. What year were you born? (Followed by proceeding to check which Chinese astrology sign they are)
  4. If you had a million dollars, what would you do?
  5. If you had X amount of time to live, what would you do?
  6. How would you commit the perfect murder?
  7. If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I could go on and on with these, and I'm sure a lot of people have been asked at least one of them. I enjoy these conversations because it not only elicits creative responses, it's almost social research. What do people do? Why do they do it? All very important things for writing.

Happy chatting!

    If you were going to a deserted island, and you could only bring X number of things, what would you bring?

    A: A hammock, lots of cold beer, and then when that ran out, a satellite GPS distress comm device to get me off the island

    What weapons would you use if there was a zombie apocalypse? How would you survive?

    A: Bladed weapons or wooden bow/arrow. One assumes we'd run out of ammo for guns and fuel for flame throwers. I'd live in the wild off the land. Those shuffling zombies have a long walk and climb even.

    What year were you born? (Followed by proceeding to check which Chinese astrology sign they are)

    A: 1971. Metal Pig

    If you had a million dollars, what would you do?

    A: Use it wisely.

    If you had X amount of time to live, what would you do?

    A: Live it.

    How would you commit the perfect murder?

    A: I wouldn't

    If you could eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    A: Buffet

    How do I put this nicely? My dear co-author, you are the smart something that is better than the dumb something.
