I listen to my meditative thoughts.

I'm in the process of getting ready to launch another attempt at being the new life myth maker, and metaphysical fantasy writer. One reason that I write is because I have the drive and desire to share what I find to be cool and amazing. And there are plenty of cool stuff when it comes to religion, the matrix, and even our plain old life here within the hologram.
For any serious cutting-edge writer, saying things that may cause others to question their beliefs and what you are sharing, is the reward in and of itself. It took me a long time to realize this. It's my job to get you to say, "what if?" or better "What The Hell?!" It is not my job to coddle educate everyone to my ways; save lazy readers and doers from or lead them from self-destruction. It is my job to entertain you while I take you on a journey. A journey that will instill bravery, curiosity, devotion even, and heaven forbid motivation. New myths are needed since we are learning this internal, Spiritual stuff at a speed which runs laps around our ancestors. It ain't just the technology folks. And like any generational teachings we need to build upon the myths which have sustained us. Especially the women. We must know the rules in order to break them. Once we know what the masculine has created we can then chose to reflect it back as healthy and whole or find and reflect a new, undiscovered, little s, source, because the big s, Source is always looking for ways to manifest and become creative in the hologram. Not that I'm leaving the men behind, they need to admit they are lions and leave the sheep along. It's safe. Knowledge is in fact the only sustainable power. So, when it seems as if your work cause ire in another remember to dust the sand from your sandals and got to the next person. Of course, you have to know what you're talking about, which will come with time; but other than that . . . myth making is one of the more joyous, playful, and delightful ways to contribute to society as a whole. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Sometime our effort to avoid hurting another's feelings can cause greater damage to the one we're trying not to hurt.
The longer I deal with being a member of the community of authors, the more I realize that we need to hold each other to the fire; especially when we have the water nearby. True some things are best learnt by experience. After all, we are a living experience having multiple experiences. But, when it comes to the art of fantasy storytelling there need to be elders, masters, and leaders who can demonstrate the way to masterpieces. The biggest issue, and foundation of the problem, is learning to slow down so you can receive, plan, and organize your story before you start to put it in manuscript form. We authors are healers, way-showers, shamans, and teachers. What we do cannot be produced in an instance nor will the results appear within the hour. If you think that you can, or that they will then you'll become more disillusioned than the very people you're working toward helping. This is not a glamour game. With all that said, I need to check myself because there are only so many teachers who can teach for the sake of the art. As in all things classic and novel, there is a misunderstanding that what the professionals do can be duplicated with ease and with little to no training. Writing is no different. So, let me share 3 things that I've learned over my twenty years apprenticeship. 1) You need boundaries and a mission statement. Without knowing what you stand for, you will be all over the place. There will be no proper beginning which makes it hard for resolution since you don't even know what it is that is trying to be accomplished. As for the middle, what middle? There will be none since you don't know where you're going or where you're coming from. 2) You need to sit on the curb and let Spirit do what Spirit does. We are channelers. Face it, accept it, live it. If you are good at what you do as a myth maker, you will be pulling from the collective unconscious constantly. Think I'm wrong? We humans use only 10% of our mental capacity therefore there is no way we can function on this reality and pull stories based in other realities with little to no transition in awareness without help from an invisible Source. This means that there must be time to connect, to receive, to process, to manifest, and to package what we get. Patience is a virtue, especially for authors of novels. 3) You need an elder, colleagues, and Beta readers to just discover who you are. In other healing fields you have the an elder or elders to prepare you for the challenge you're about to partake in, we authors have had to scrape together information (until more recently) this is a waste of the little time that we have for writing and learning by trial and error. This has got to change but only we authors can change it. Colleagues are for more than cheerleading and co-authoring. We are students together and can see and misunderstand things together. Together we can tackle and if need be change tricks of the trade. Fellow students are watching and hopefully helping you expecting you to see what they see even if you don't do what they do. Beta readers can make better resources than editors when you are still striving to become published. Need I say more about your fellow canaries in the mine? If we handle these three, we will be able to produce stronger medicine with tasty sugar that is invisible to the eye, especially our eye. Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle This will be short. This will be quick. I have completed the final draft outline of Hour of Change a The Chronicles of Mow Yen novel. It's looking like this baby will be 34 chapters and 67 scenes long as of yet.
I have that important set up which takes the protagonist, Mow Yen, from living as the incarnated Queen of London in the year 2027, Elizabeth IX, to dying from slipping on ice, which enable her to regain her soul's personality- Mow Yen. Upon meeting her newly assigned guardian angel, she is then informed that she will be relocated from the 3rd dimension to the Welnikov dimension per directive of the Creator-Thinker-Host. Welnikov is where gods such, as Zeus and Odin, and goddesses such as Hecate and Hel currently live. Mow must gather 3 teams of 5 in order to return to the 3rd dimension and divinely intervene in the evolution of Humanity (humanity is on a cusp and can go either way without some help.) But first she has to deal with the upcoming Ritual of Death in which the masculine essence of Gaia will die only to be replaced by some male that lacks the understanding of the feminine essence of Gaia if someone doesn't help. I have the middle which is filled with action and introspection. Mow is sent to the Netherworld, she meet an old friend, herself, a daughter of the moon, then come face to face with her personal evil. There is also a military combat engagement between the military of Hecate and Po's (Mow Yen's masculine equal; her twin flame.) All seems lost as Mow's side quest kills her. But I mustn't give too much away. I have the resolution in which Mow completes the side quest, reorganize Welnikov's foundation structure, and begins to accomplish her original task of gathering help for the humans. This is the 2nd novel in The Chronicles of Mow Yen series; and it will be healthy and screaming once it is born. I've been working on this since July 2018. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle I wanted to take a brief moment. A moment to sit back and think over the decade long uphill climb I've been making as an writer who focus has been on growing as a novelist. Well, to be honest, I want to shout out this new available option, and share that I've returned to the traditional publishing route.
I never had an elusive literary agent before, but they're out there; and I'm currently on the hunt for one. I've decided that this is the best (if slowest) route to learning how to handle being in the book/publishing industry from story creation to bookstore sales. I know I haven't shared this outside of my small circle, but I want my own publishing house. I still have a lot of learning to do, yet I'm now secure enough in my desire that I can put this dream in the universe. The first of my current two projects are just about ready for professional packaging. I think I've talked about that. With all that said, I've started my agent search- Yay me. The first thing I did was pull out an old 2008 copy of Writers Digest's Guide to Literary Agents. That was the pebble that caused the far reaching ripple in the pond. After the second internet search for/check-up on an agency listed, I discovered that now they have free online databases of Literary Agents. Needlessly, I got lost in the sauce and went ham. But, it's not all fun and indulgence. I still have to put my best foot forward; not because of the competition but because I need someone who will be willing to invest in me and my overreaching career. This shift of focus from how to who has made me more intrigued in the industry. Things aren't the same as when I first started! Praises Be! Now that I've shared a short ramble, let me return to my writing and developing or planning and editing. Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle I have done it. I have gone even further than I've gone last year. I'm writing two stories again. The first being Mow Yen's Hour of Change and the second being Tapestry Chronicles' Shifting by Divine Decree. I've already shared details regarding Hour of Change, so here's a little about Shifting by Divine Decree.
First, Global Shaman & Solider of Father-Mother God, Aliyah Geode must go about leading the task of awakening the uninitiated children of the 3rd Dimension to their next step toward wholeness in the deity she serves and knows. This would be easily accomplished if not for the fact that she herself has only been awaken to who she is for 15 years. With Spiritual sleep still in her eyes, she's having to embody patience as she gathers her personalities of Soul, humility as she balance her power and intentions, and loving devotion to a deity that has been accused of lacking the ability to be the strongest of all the gods in the valley of death. Second, young warlord from Manu Island, Semyaze Hardford, has found a portal between the 3rd dimension and Manu Dimension. In an attempt to prove himself and contribute as none other warlord has, Semyaze uses the portal to attempt recruiting one of Aliyah's destined Shaman proteges, Roshni Garnet. If Semyaze accomplish his goal, he would severely aid the destructive darkness, which has been encroaching on the 3rd dimension for 6,300 years. Third, assistant to Ovinder, one of the Elohim, Ang Ben and Aliyah Geode must work out their romantic intimate relationship; while continuing their partnership to bring about the true age of paradise on the 3rd dimension. Working through their feelings mean they will have to finally face the consequences of their previous attempts at being a couple divine. Last, Roshi Garnet must experience being spiritually forced open by Mya Divine, the dark witch, and her coven of invisible beings, then attempt at balancing and maintaining herself. That's the story plot and subplots. Next I work on the goals, premise, message, and theme. After I've complete those steps I can begin sketching, planning, and outlining. Great! Great! Great! I'm loving this! I spend 4 hours a day on each project, HoC and SbDD, and not only does time fly but I'm growing along with the projects. I think I'm polishing my professional process as a novelist. -Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle This work year's project has been a blast so far; but I've only been at it for almost three months; and that has been purely creating for about 4 hours a day. No editing yet, only puzzle pieces coming together. The title of the 2018-2019 project is "Hour of Change." It's the next installment in The Chronicles of Mow Yen. In this story, I tells how Mow became the Champion of the Essence of Gaia.
The conflict is, once again, internal- can Mow maintain herself while accomplishing her external goal. The external goal: to prepare the former gods and goddess for a significant shift in awareness by all humanity. I will be / I have already completed: Introducing the main influence of the Earth: Male Gaia Essence- Vu and Female Gaia Essence- Deja. Introducing settings: Welnikov, Mystical Rose, and the Netherworld Introducing serial characters: Hina, Hel, Hecate, Zeus, Odin, and Po So far my writing routine has tighten up and I'm spending more time on planning, sketches, and filling out characters and setting. I'm tightening up plot by honing in on sharing one plot line, three sub-plots, and laying the foundation for a love story. I've learned from Lady Agape & The New Dimension how to create a middle! Big thing as I didn't know that the middle build on the foundation of the beginning and set the foundation for the ending. It's also all action. Well there are moments of rest as pacing is important so I do take pauses. But enough shop . . . I have added to my collection of muses- the Elohim, the seven creator spirits of humanity. This is awesome. Again, these are the ones who decided to make man in their image. I'm looking forward to the unfolding of the adventure that is me, community, angelic realms, and the Elohim. Once again, Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle I am in the process of creating a most exciting forthcoming project for the follow up to my current short story available for sale, Again: From Gatekeeper to Earth Walk Departure. It is another Mow Yen story and it expands the world which she is currently incarnated in- the 3.51 dimension of Earth.
In this story we see how the Champion of Gaia, Mow Yen, goes around her sponsor and snag herself a mentor. None other than Sun Wukong; China's famous Demon Monkey King born from a Stone Mountain and key participant in the Journey to the West in order to retrieve some Buddhist scriptures for translation. This is the one and same young monkey who named himself, "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." So I'm tinkering with something that is honored, tried, and true. This is a challenging project because my story, Monkey God and His Protege, tells how Mow Yen and Sun Wukong became spiritual partners and friends until the day that Wukong leaves his body to be reincarnated again. I understand that I must be respectful of this beloved character. I'm doing my research and I swear to do right by the Monkey King (God in my story.) He is a key character in the Chronicles of Mow Yen and will be in the novels as a mentor/wise sage until he passes. His role will follow that of mentor in the Hero's Journey championed by Joseph Campbell. I envision this Monkey God as being the Monkey King after he has matured and aged like fine wine. He was already known as an example of "pursuing your dreams and ambitions, in the face of numerous obstacles and challenges; and only with cleverness, determination, and courage will one be able to overcome them to achieve success." Now he will be seen passing this knowledge on to next generation. I'll do right, promise. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Well, I've put my sign up, and I'm open for business. Now all the book lovers will come and see me.
I wish it was that simple. Now, I get to concern myself with something other than creating and polishing my trinkets. Because I'm self-publishing just about everything I produce, I'm having a rude awakening because all the pieces of this puzzle aren't cooperating. I'm up to my neck in discovery of expectations of professionalism, I pray the mighty book publication gods won't come to me and tell me that I'm not worthy. But, then again, if they did label me a hack, I would ignore them and keep at it until I got a mastery of it- just the Capricorn in me. I tell you the first thing I realized is I have to become serious about this whole "For Sale" process. That means me, Sabrina, must come up with an author bio. Have you read my about page? (Side note: I'll be updating that soon.) I have no concept for talking in a none metaphysical, other worldly, manner. Don't believe me check out my personal blog www.windowview4sabrina.wordpress.com there you will see me in all my glory. My latest post is on me and Ancient Egyptian Religion; in particular Atum. Now I somehow must come up with something that can be smacked on the back of a book or (when I really get myself together) a "my own" website, which I paid for. Not asking much, are we? Being the professional in the making that I am, I went to Google to search for directions and templates. Without going into details, I found all I need for a newbie and for a pro. Meaning though I may complain, I will get on writing this bio and release it to the Cosmos- the One True God. I will find some way to dance a belly dance and run a smoke and mirrors show, until I get some weight on my belt. Now that I've written this I see that an Author's Bio isn't that bad, it's just the tip of an iceberg; I'm no Titanic I tell you, I refuse to sink. And, with that said; when I come to you asking does this bio make my ego look big don't say anything, because you've been warned. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle With this month came the deadline for me to get something on the market. My baby, the one that I've worked on for almost a year, was not ready and I needed something in order to not go into an emotional tailspin. Well I'll like to introduce you to that something. The short story that will be available for sale 4/20/18 on the smashwords website. But that isn't the reason that I'm writing. There will be a few forthcoming posts on this story. To be truthful, I'm making this post as an announcement to the universe and powers that be. This thing name entertainment writing is now my hustle. No more cute mental games such as my doing and saying: it's for the arts and the therapeutic benefits. Not that I've gotten all my ducks in a row. I've just nailed down a schedule for April 2018-May 2019 last Sunday. Money has just started to be invested in this thing which I'm naming: Seasoned Storytelling. Promotions have only been engaged in during this month. So, I will be giving a more serious effort, and, again this is a declaration that is between the universe and me. I thought I would include you because I will be putting up more posts about my journey. Longer and more detail than anything I will put on my other blogs; these posts will be of assistance for others for as the saying says: Each one Teach one. With Again being released this week (I've got a little promotional campaign going for it) what's next? Well May 2018 is scheduled for the release of Lady Agape & The New Dimension as well as a short story. I have five other items that I will like to release within the next 12 months. With that said, I must leave you and this secret coded post in order to met the daily quota or at least the daily intention. I know this is rushed and some may call it a little jumbled but I really needed to get this off my chest. As always, Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle |
