Last night I dreamt that I was sitting in a living room with my agent, who was reviewing two proposals I'd given her. Both proposals were short--synopses length rather than sample chapters.
On the first proposal she wrote "Safe" or "Safer" and as she started to read the second proposal, which I knew could be either brilliant or terrible but was not going to be safe, I woke up.
I'm not even sure which proposal I was rooting for her to choose--the verdict of safe was something I saw as a good thing, in that it was a commercial fantasy idea. And I have a pretty good idea which of my current project ideas that proposal represented.
But I wish I knew what was in the second proposal.
