Die By the Pen: Dream a Little Dream (With or Without the Coreys)
In Die By the Pen, Jared Gniewek discusses what feeds his fires as an author of comics, screenplays and radio dramas.
I wrote a short story last week. Short stories were my first passion towards writing. I used to read and re-read the great pieces by O. Henry, Jack London, John Steinbeck, and Ray Bradbury. I still prefer collections of short stories to novels. I guess I have a short attention span. I also like the way they come at you fast and leave a quiet lingering feeling in their wake.
What makes this new short story one of note is that it was conceived in a dream. Ann, my lovely girlfriend, woke me from a dead slumber a couple of weeks ago and it was just as the dream was “ending”.
