Hey, guys.
'The Dreamer's Lament' is my first solo short story collection, filled with tales stirred to life by prompts or Pinterest pictures. This project is my own twist on Laini Taylor's Attic Notebook activity, in which I write a story using at least one prompt and one picture to create a story I have never written before, taking up whatever idea pops up in my head.
So, dear Attic Notebook, I'm hoping this can be a new start of new tales in 2019.
Here's to writing and never looking back, until a month has passed.

It can be remembered only in half-sleep,
Moments of drowsiness that gild and adorn
The waking mind with dreams, that may well be
But broken images of the night's treasure,
A timeless world that has no name or measure
And breaks up in the mirrors of the day.
Who will you be tonight, in the dark thrall
Of sleep, when you have slipped across its wall?
