How to Write a Dream Scene?!?!?
Would it be a good first chapter? Well, if you write a dream scene it's got to mean something. The fish bones, the acid, the running and perhaps even the island or fog need to have a meaning. It needs to foreshadow something without making it obvious. That sounds rather hard, I know, but it doesn't need to be clear even in later chapters. It can just mean something to YOU. You need to know it stands for something - readers don't necessarily need to know what. In fact, some readers pref fer being able to tell something has meaning, but also be open to interpret it on their own. Dream Scenes can be excellent first chapters in a story. They open up the story with meaning, and with an immediate possibility to hook readers. Does it need to be in first person? Well that, depends on what you prefer. Many writers prefer to do dream scenes in first person, but quite a few are done in third-person. A dream scene will often be about the character, and thus needs to convey emotion - do it the way you feel you could convey it the best. As for 'should she go to sleep.' I personally feel you don't need to. Perhaps, at the end of the chapter, she wakes up. Perhaps, the second chapter starts with her waking up. Or perhaps you don't even need to mention her waking up; it would confuse some readers if you did it 'wrong,' but at the same time can have an impact and the story line COULD possibly be smoother. Personally, I would chose one of these, but you need to do what you feel would give the story more flow and feeling. On a side note, it does sound super interesting.
I need help with writing a scene where a character goes to sleep?
all you have to do is write the feelings of the character when in the bed then. just make person think of things then let the person just drift off. you could wake her up easily just make person open their eyes. example I am in my bed and i pull the covers over. my head is rustling with the pillow. Why do i have to sleep? It just seems as if I could be better if i just live my whole life without having to start over everyday. my head is face down in the pillow when i awake. I just lay there. This is kind of boring and dumb to write about this. You see it is implied that sleeping and waking up goes like this. IT would be better if you show the char just laying in bed. then the next day in their robe eating breakfast. you do not even really have to write the person sleeping. I like to just FLASH to new scenes in my story, i do not cover a 24/7 he did this then this etc.... the char was in coma for 200 years! you could write about the outside world interacting with this house over the 200yrs. you could make the dust start to slowly cover the house over time. the house could begin to fall apart. this scene in the book should go by and be written fast. all you need to say is "lets go to bed " then make it sound like a fairy tale. like char never awoke the next day and even the day after that. and now it has been 200 years. wake them up then show them that it has been longer than just a day.
How to write a scary scene in a book?
I am trying to write a creepy, suspenseful scene in a story I am writing. When ever I try, I always feel like what I have written is silly and totally not creepy at all. I don't want to have my friends go to sleep with a shotgun on their pillow but I want my friends to be creeped out enough to keep a light on at night.
What techniques do you do when you go to sleep?
Normally I write down what I'd like to dream on a piece of paper, I settle down in bed and start contemplating and thinking about what I'm going to do the day after. Usually that tires me out enough for me to pass out.Sometimes it's just lay in bed playing with the pet until I fall dead asleep.But the majority of the time it's just meaningless thoughts and I just play along, talking to that imaginary voice in my head until I fall asleep.
How can I write a realistic murder killing scene?
Just set aside your Hollywood images and mind control. Here are a few things that spoil a good murder scene.Being shot hurts unbearably. If someone gets shot they will be yelling and screaming when the ambulance arrives and they are going to still be screaming as the ambulance drives them away.If someone lets off a shot or two in a closed room everyone will have ringing in there ears for quite awhile. Whispering will not be an option.The murders that people getaway with are really simple. Walk up and fire the gun and walk away. It will take most people a long while to put together the scene and the shooter is long gone .A good author will be able to impart so much feeling and fact that a simple shot will provide more than enough material for a strong piece of writing.You have the assassin picking his momentThe reaction of those around himThe terror the victim feelsThe silence before the painThe response of bystanders as it becomes clear what has transpiredThrow in a couple of babies crying in the background. Frightened out of their sleep by the pandemonium.Then let the victim say some confused last wordsDescribe horrorbile contortions of the victims face and bodyThen the aroma of the body smells.Nothing like a point and shoot murder to fill out a chapter.Please remember if your shot you are not throwing punches and preforming lethal Kung- fu kicks.Best of luck
Describe someone sleeping for my story?
I have this love story about a woman with long black hair, Light blue eyes, pale skin and full lips. She pretty much looks like Amy Lee from Evanescence and My stories been doing pretty well but i'm stuck on this one scene where she's watching the man that she loves while he sleeps (Not in a creepy way XD) The man has sallow skin, a large, hooked nose, shoulder-length, greasy black hair which frames his face like curtains, curling lips and dark, penetrating eyes that resembled tunnels. His personality is cold, calculating, cynical, rigid, malicious, bitter and sarcastic. They had been together once before but he had betrayed her and she's not sure if she can trust him again despite her feelings towards him. So if anyone could help me write this scene that would be great :D
What is another way to describe falling asleep?
I am having a writers block! I am writing a story that uses sleeping as a major point of the story, and I feel like I keep using 'drifting off to sleep' over and over again! Is there any other word to describe it? Thanks!
For my story,how can I describe when someone can't sleep and keeps tossing and turning in descriptive writing?
If it wasn't for the flickering light in the distance, I would have sworn that I had been attacked with a sudden rush of insomnia. The bed sheets were twisted around my body from my tossing and truning so often. All I really wanted was to get some rest. But with that light, it seemed almost impossible I hope that helps :) it might not be very good cos i only just woke up... And good luck with that writers block :). I have it all the time.

So did bones and booth sleep together?
first of all its not the season 6 finale, theres another episode due next thursday called "the change in the game" which means its possible that there will be more revelations next week. second, its obvious from angelas reaction at the end of the episode your referring to, that look of "im glad they are getting together" when bones puts her arm in booths arm that implies a connection. third, im glad in a way they skipped it, this was an episode about losing mr nigel murray and i dont think a sex scene would have worked... also it would have detracted from the emotional side of the grief
Macbeth and Sleep Motif"s?
It's a good topic, and the play is full of references to sleep. Try this: http://shakespeare.mit.edu/macbeth/full.... That's the full text of the play. Go to that site, and search "sleep." It'll take you to every single reference to the word in the play. Here are a few examples off the top of my head: Duncan is killed while sleeping. Before the murder, Macbeth insists he heard a voice proclaiming that he would "sleep no more." After the Banquet Scene, after Banquo's Ghost disappears, Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that he'd be okay if only he could get some sleep. Lady Macbeth is last seen sleepwalking...her great guilt plagues her even when she's asleep.
