Do You Dream?

They say everyone dreams, yet I don’t remember mine the vast majority of the time. I suspect it’s because I’m so tired at night that my mind simply doesn’t have time to be creative. Or, maybe, I have no creativity left after writing all day.

Do you dream? Do they tend toward happy or scary? And have you ever had a dream that ended up being a deja vu later?

Merging the Present With the Past

If you could go back to your childhood and relive one event/moment with someone who is in your life today, what would it be and why?

Cool thought, huh?

When, Not If

What’s one thing (big or otherwise) that you’d like to accomplish between now and the end of summer?

If You Could

If you could change one thing about our country or its people (the way it is/we are today), what would you change?

Take Two

Here’s a good one to ponder…

If you could relive one moment in your life all over again, what would it be and why? Would you do it exactly the same way all over again or would you make some changes?

Close Your Eyes

When it comes to special days (birthdays, graduations, holidays, etc), I like to go all out, crafting as many surprises as possible. It simply makes it more fun. For everyone.

Sometimes they know a surprise is in the works, and, at those times, they don’t try to figure it out. It’s as if they love the surprise factor as much as the gift or outing (or whatever) itself.  And me…well I feel as if I’m getting to be a fairy godmother for a little while, sprinkling fairy dust on someone’s special day.

So tell us, what’s the greatest surprise you’ve ever had and/or the greatest surprise you executed for someone else?

On Second Thought…

I interrupt my normally scheduled Dreamer Monday post to bring you this news…

I’m guest blogging (with a contest) over at Fresh Fiction today. I’d sure love it if you’d stop by  (Click Here).

Three Wishes

 Think for a minute (no knee-jerks here, okay?)…

You get three wishes.

What are they?

(These will coincide with tomorrow’s Reading Tuesday post, so give ‘em some thought)

A Look At The Future

I’m sure you’ve heard of these new do-it-yourself home kits that can tell you what diseases you might contract in the future.  Now, while it’s an interesting concept, I’m not sure I’d want to know. Not unless knowing would enable me to prevent it.

Which brings me to today’s DREAMER MONDAY question about the kinds of things a person might like to know about their future if they could…

 If you could learn one thing about your future, what would you want to know and why?

Postcards from the Wild

As most of you know, I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was ten years old. But that was just one part of a two-part dream. The second part was having people read my stuff…

People in libraries. People in bookstores. People in parks. People on trains. People lounging on their couches on cold winter days. And people I didn’t know.

Which is why I think posting a few pictures of my readers is a perfect fit for this week’s “Dreamer Monday.”

First, here’s Shel and Sinatra from Dixon, Illinois. As you can see, Shel is snuggled up in her favorite reading spot with DEATH THREADS on Kindle, proving–beyond a shadow of a doubt–that one can, indeed, get just as cozy with a Kindle as a physical book!  Thanks, Shel!!

Next up is Bunny Giordano of Ashburn, Virginia. Bunny took her copy of DEATH THREADS to work with her to read on her lunch hour!!! From what I can tell by the picture, she’s about halfway through the book here and that’s just about the time when…  Wait. I can’t tell you that. It’s a surprise.

And then there’s Michele in Milford, New Hamshire who was nearing the end of DEATH THREADS when her husband snapped this photo. She says this is her reading corner of the couch and that “everyone knows its my spot.”  I love this picture, Michele! Thank you!!

So there you have it. Pictorial proof of part two of my childhood dream.

Michele, Bunny, and Shel all have a surprise heading their way in the mail for sharing their “Reading DEATH THREADS” photos with me.  Want to share a photo, too? Send your “Reading DEATH THREADS” photo (along with your name and city/state)  to me at: ElizabethLCasey@aol.com. I’ll post them here on the blog and you’ll get a surprise in the mail for making my day!

Deal?
