Though I mostly wouldn't trust my dreams to provide sufficiently coherent material for actual proper writing, they're occasionally worth a giggle and sometimes capable of kicking off an alternative line of thinking. Not last night's so much. I just dreamed I was being rejected by multiple publishing houses and living in a portacabin on the very swinging end of a massive crane. But other times. My father once dreamt Rob Brydon was sitting on his chest, for example. That sort of thing.
Anyway. Please to be recording your own humorous and potentially inspiring in the comments.
Ephemera
You know when you have a randomly brilliant idea, like an isolated character sketch or scene or fantastically absurd snippet of dialogue, and you don’t have a proper piece of work in which to house it? That’s what this is for.
About Me
- Mostly Life
- About Mostly Life. Mostly Life is an interactive global repository for all things mirthful and gigglesome and generally fairly creative. Its numerous mods are responsible for posting any vaguely comical material they see fit, be it self-penned fiction, satirical commentary, links to ace websites, comical clips, lists of prompts, doodlings, philosophical ponderings or just isolated random fragments of mirth that don’t have a home in a full-length piece of writing but powerfully need to be seen and taken and generally faffed about with by the general writing public. The profoundly special thing about the blogfulness of Mostly Life is that it affords regular opportunities for you to contribute to the artistic content of the project as well: you can participate in Round Robin stories, you can write micro-fiction based on regular prompts (the best of which might become posts in their own right), you can send in suggestions, you can be inspired by what other people are writing and by and large you can just be a hugely significant element of this wondrous community resource globule of marvellousness type thing what we’ve got going here. Happy commenting.

I dreamed that I was kissing Ian Hislop - what does that mean?
It means you're Paul Merton.
You are too kind - I'm nothing special. I think of myself as extra-ordinary.
i'm surprised that you don't really think your dreams are a good place to find inspiration. Surely a place as surreal as our dreams (eg, not constrained by our concious mind's limitations) was almost the best place to find new ideas, new beginnings?
But I'm glad you said it as you reminded me of a very powerful dream I had a few days ago and meant to write down, I'll do that now! :)
Thanks for reawakening me...
I have been rejected by multiple publishing houses (and I've never submitted anything). Moreover, I live in a PortaKabin (correct spelling) suspended from a crane. You are intruding on my privacy. Send your name and I will sue.
