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

In this chapter, I play with the idea of what is ‘worth keeping’ and what isn’t.  The notion that in the future handwriting will no longer be taught, does seem likely.  I personally think the earlier children move onto working with a PC at school the better.  Being able to spell is overrated.  It should… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Four

This next chapter brings me onto a point that is difficult to explain.  It is how I am inspired.  I honestly don’t know how other writers work, come to think of it, I don’t how anyone else works.  How do two people stay together?  How does a parent bring up kids that love them?  Here… Continue reading Revelations Chapter Three

Sometimes I wonder how wonderful it must be to be one of those authors who can just ‘tell a story’, where the words flow out of their minds straight into the laptop. My storytelling isn’t like that.  It’s a bit more like:  Yes, I can see all the colors of the rainbow and yes, it’s… Continue reading Revelations: Chapter Two
