The Dreamers [ONC2020] | ✓

Preface & Disclaimer

For all the dreamers out there.

~*~

This novella was written for the Open Novella Contest 2020 and inspired by prompt #15: "How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?" — Plato

This will be my first time entering the Open Novella Contest. I hope to use this challenge to expand my writing skills in genres unfamiliar to me, such as Romance, Paranormal, and Urban Fantasy. I'll also be exploring LGBTQ+, ADHD, and mental health themes through my protagonists and within the story. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

I was inspired by the prompt to continue working on an old idea of mine that never saw pen to paper, one about a boy whose imagination would become reality. It's changed a lot from the original idea, but I believe it's changed for the better. I hope you will enjoy this story!

Please note that as this is a work in progress, portions of the work that are published may change.
