This chapter is all about Jessie.  My sometimes ‘favorite’ character.  My personal preferences change with each new chapter.  After having read this one, I ended up asking myself whether it was possible for a man to really write about a believable young female character. I work a lot with children, and I also have kids… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Thirteen

I think part of the joy in writing is the way the scenes play themselves out inside my mind.  If I can see it, then I can describe it – it could possibly be real.  Another part is the research.  I mentioned this in an earlier blog, and how much fun I find in learning… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Twelve

Having re-read this chapter, what I find most enjoyable about it is its speed.  The story rushes along, but not with superhero characters but – normal kids.  Evylin continues in her role as the more experienced player, this might have to do with the fact that I was taught girls matured earlier than boys –… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Eleven

Although this chapter carries on with the story of Evylin and George crossing level three, what I remember most about writing it, was all the time spent in research.  There are so many different scenes inside my head that needed to be explained.  And of course, in doing so I didn’t want to write cliches… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Ten

Another lazy Sunday… I always feel the term ‘lazy’ is accusing me of not having done enough. Was I lazy this Sunday? How much time do I need to spend doing something for it not to have been a lazy day? Yes, this is the kind of inane thoughts that run through my mind, almost… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Nine

Don’t you just love pointless but amusing coincidences? I am finally back writing my blog and guess what – it’s chapter eight – the number’s the coincidence.  Some of you might say, it wasn’t that long ago to have forgotten, and for you, this may be true.  I misplace words and memories in my mind… Continue reading Revelations: Chapter Eight

If anyone is reading this, please allow me to apologize for not writing a weekly chapter analysis as promised, the last few weeks. I am extremely busy trying to finish I am GoD EI8HT.  Not only is the story becoming more complicated, but the cover artwork too. Second, my motivation or the energy to continue… Continue reading Apologizes

This chapter continues with Jessie’s return from the foundations. I find myself enjoying writing (and reading) about Jessie.  I know she isn’t real, and her family’s interaction is more my wishes of how family life should be.  I can picture the characters very clearly and feel some of their comments could be true. It’s difficult… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Seven

I have recently realized that due to no one is interacting with my blog, I am tempted to say what is inside my mind.  Which, for most people probably is a good thing, but not a good idea for me.  The words I write in my book do not flow.  They are chewed on, and… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Six

Chapter five begins with me poking fun at those ‘team spirit’ motivation talks that were so popular at the turn of the century.  As a piano player I often played at such functions during dinner and so often found myself standing on the sidelines watching some ‘young dynamic leader’ gesticulate his way through his speech.… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Five
