Creating My Own Nightmares

Last night, I didn't sleep very well.  I kept having nightmares based around the novelette (though it may turn out to be a novella, I'm not sure) I'm writing.  In the room I'm sleeping in, there's an open door that looks right into the bathroom.  In the bathroom, there's an electrical outlet with a tiny red light on it, that happens to be right next to the mirror.  When it's dark, it looks like a pair of big red eyes staring right at me, so even when I could block out the scary images I had created for Reflections in the Window, I was kept company by the demon eyes that watched me as I slept.  Not comforting.

I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that my own ideas give me nightmares.  Danny says it's a good thing.  Of course, I've been living in my mind as Rachel for several hours a day, so it's been on my mind a lot while I try to create ideas to scare her.  Since I put myself in her mind, then what scares her scares me.  (Or is it vice versa?)

Either way, I'm pretty excited about Reflections in the Window.  I think it will turn out better than The Secret Room, and I think the novelette will become my forte.  (But I do have some novels planned, too.)
