Idea #2

As I said yesterday, it’s time to write my fourth novel. And if I don’t write the historical novel about John Dunn, I am thinking about a novel of suspense. It would involve a man who has nightmares of battles. He sees them as if he were a participant. The only thing is he was never in the military. And the battles were past ones. Like way past ones. I’m talking ancient Greece here. And ancient Rome.

What’s happening is the man is reliving past lives in his dreams, and through hypnosis or some other means, he is able to reveal those experiences in some detail.

Now, again, I'm not sure. It sounds like a fun story, but I have a lot of things to work out. Like where is the conflict and the tension? What will be the plot? What is the main character’s objective? How do I resolve it? How much paranormal stuff should I put in there? Should I put any paranormal stuff in there at all? Yeah, it’s only in the thinking stage right now. But I better figure this thing fast. Summer is almost here.
