I seem to get most of my story ideas from dreams. They're not always good ones, and my dreams don't make much sense, but at least they give me something to jot down whenever I get writer's block. My latest entry into the scrap book, "The Wayward Sands", is just another one of those.

It happened to me last night, just before I woke up to go to work today. I dreamed that I was playing some unnamed sci-fi video game, playing from the view of the female lead character. She got stuck on this desert planet, and was being some large beastie. My story fragment ends before that, because I haven't yet figured out what kind of monster she was trying to outrun. I'll try to get more of this fleshed out as the week goes by.
