I'm in the thick of ending MT2, the sequel to my first book. Writing almost daily, getting much done, integrating 'Interim' into it, which is a huge deal.
Ending a novel takes some intricate weaving. I find that just writing when stuck is not a waste of time. The interim section was born out of writer's block, and it wove right into the story today. I see how JRR Tolkien could have unpublished partial stories all over his office. Mine is messy with loose end parts. I have 8 unfinished works that I work on when suddenly I remember their contents. Crazy, huh? I plan on finishing up each manuscript. One has to be retyped from thermal paper. I wrote it in the 80's. My style hasn't changed much. I'm just more comfortable writing my visions. Bethel gave me that. Thank you.
I'll try to remember to keep this journey with MT2 updated here.

I hope to use this blog as a daily record of Papa, Jesus and Holy Spirit's daily interventions in my life. They are quite daily! I don't want to travel backward, but present; not future, just today. May my every entry be clear.
6 hours writing straight today. This week has been amazing. Loose ends tied up, I go step by step to the next level of completion, only knowing what to do next when I am there. Ha. I love this. My brains were mush after 6 hours. That's typical for me. The pictures in my head haven't changed since starting it 6 years ago. I am different, so the story morphs with me.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many uncoincidences in writing this book. I appreciate each one. They remind me that I asked Papa to join me in writing it. I won't know why I'm writing something or adding something new, but later, in the real world, I'll see His confirmation. For instance, I researched one of my character's names online and wasn't sure why I was so impressed to use it. This character became later on the focus of the story, and I saw the name used in the perfect setting on Maui. I jumped with surprise, for I had not known or seen that name used anywhere before. That was Papa's contribution :)
ReplyDeleteI realize the cast of characters is very big. I don't want to bring confusion to my readers, and will try to size it down. I cover 100 plus years of time and each one plays a role. Maybe if I do it right, I'll be able to tell it from my brain to the paper without overwhelming the readers. I need to remember I'm writing, too, to my mom, who needs things to be very clear, especially what I want to teach her in my story.
ReplyDeleteI need to go back and rename each character, decide on one name for each because even I'm confused without constant rechecking names. Ha. This happened because when I began the book, I was doing family genealogy and researching and trying to learn which people went with what families. My own fault.
ReplyDeleteI have visions of major parts of "Interim" for the end of MT2. Babes are there. Had them for a couple of days. Love this.
ReplyDeleteI have a list of 88 things to tie up in ending MT2. Oh boy :)
ReplyDeleteChipping away at each item on my list with many calls away from my computer. It's possible. I just need to expertly and carefully end each part, line upon line. I see it happening, though every day I'm overwhelmed before I get started again. Every day I get Heaven's instructions on where to pick up, on things I've missed or forgot, and feel guided through the duration. It's really neat to have this gift; to not neglect it. Yeah :)
The prayers on the beach affect the activities of Heaven. Connect, connect, connect and thicken the web in every possible place, to every possible event and person.
ReplyDeleteJames Goll prophesied over the people of Bethel Church in Redding. Bill played the recording of it because he said it is for all of us. James Goll had a vision of a huge library. His description of it quickened me to MT2, and the library I write about there. His vision was for Bethel's library. Mine is of Heaven's.
ReplyDeleteI spent time this last month away from MT2 in order to do Susan's family tree. Honoring the people of the past, especially women. Papa loves people. The ones passed here are alive and loving it in Heaven. So true. Living in this day fully; doing the Papa thing, assisting when needed, having come from pain, well, life is vivid for me. We love unconditionally absolutely and simply everyone.
Company coming. Surprises for Susan. She is related to Judy Garland :)
