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

There is something about claiming your Psyche and losing you Personality. This is especially so for the writers of new stories. Stories that will one day motivate and instruct. We must allow ourselves moments of being captured by the Muses (if not the Angels of Creativity- Archangel Gabrielle I'm looking at you!) and allow them to take us to the river's reflective waters in order to see that we aren't sheep; but lions.
Writers today have no excuse for not pushing the limits and midwifing, if not birthing, a new day with a new story. Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung were two ground breakers who crushed the divider which kept the storytellers from writers, in addition to, giving both the understanding of what made the myths and folklore of Ancient and Olden as transformational as they were/are. Not only did these gentlemen break barriers, but like any constructive elder, they laid foundation for the next generation. Now, don't misunderstand, I don't agree with everything that those two wild and crazy guys did, but I do get their intentions. The intentions point of origins I understand. I don't make the mistake of taking what they said out of the context in which they said it. Their biggie statement that get me is the proclamation stating -in not so many words- that women didn't necessarily having to go on a dragon slaying journey when the real dragon was the Shadow Self. But according to them the causes and motivations for the journey, women already had within them. So, they asked, why would women risk hide and hair to do the same thing that men were doing? I understand their thinking but time has proven their final decisions in this manner to be as solid as Darwin's decision about evolution. Yet, we cannot deny that we can combine the ideal journey these two gentlemen saw, and build a new. I, personally, stand on their shoulders and show them that the elixir which the feminine energy returns with is just as needed by the community- if not more so. I use strong feminine characters who believe in a force larger than themselves, use a weapon just as well as they use their wit, and most importantly these female characters strive pass the need to unite with and imitate the masculine. I'm certain that I'm not the only female writing myths for the human community. If I am then I invite you. Come jump in the deep end of the pool. With each day, I understand more about mythology of yesterday so I can contribute to the new myth that has been growing since the 1990s. The great myths of tomorrow for tomorrow. Those myths which still goes about penetrating the labyrinth of the earthling psyche whether it be a spiritual being having an earthly experience or an earthly being having a spiritual experience. That is the myth that I work for and on. And, I'm loving every moment. As Campbell would say, I've found my Bliss. May you find a good story to keep you motivated. Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle I know that I didn't post anything in June 2018, but I was having numerous Coming to Jesus Meetings. This alchemist process of writing myths and combining not only symbols but lessons is pushing me.
I'm currently going through my Chinese Monkey God story with a fine tooth comb. I decided to do a short story on Greece's Hecate. Plus I'm developing the outline of The Mow Yen Chronicles; which is finally coming together. Three projects, all myths. Plus, I want to begin tossing my hat in the article writing ring. My calendar year is from July to June and I had an amazing first year. I wrote a novel and published a short story. I discovered that I could do this; now I believe that 2017-2018 will be the reviewed year which takes me aback to the very thing I originally asked/prayed for. Now 2018-2019 I plan to carry my cross and take another step along my road of dharma. I believe that we each hold a special piece of the puzzle. The Universe's story is our story I've bee told, and its destiny is our destiny. This kind of opened my eyes and made me surrender to my role; that and the fact that this will be the last year before my son heads off to college to be a video game designer. Good or bad, I'm starting to see that I was looking at the business of myth with rose-colored glasses. This is something that has received push-back from patriarchal structures. The entire business of telling myths was once the territory of women but it too fell under the domain of men. Not only that, those who are of the traditional religious way seem to think that this is something that is Gnostic. Which in a way they are right- but I wouldn't tell them that. Then there is the fact that I'm having reserved feelings about Maureen Murdock's Heroine's Journey and trying to put my own twist upon it. Plus Campbell, a genius yes, writer of mythology? Creator of Mythology? No. Then there is my journey to become a University Professor of this stuff. Again, carrying my own cross. Like most Great Initiations I'm in this all alone and others may offer help along the way but it's up to me to get this big wooden beam up the hill. I got Jesus on my side as well as a few others, so I have faith in me ad my journey. Well, I've poured enough tears for a post after a month's absence. I promise I'll . . . you get it. Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle There are a few things I know for certain. One of them is the fact that I will adapt in order to survive, like anybody. I know, or maybe I'm learning, that my purpose of writing is to bridge the gap between the animal and god consciousness of Man, by aiding in the social evolution of the collective consciousness. More importantly, my aim is to entertain and to serve the societies doing this social evolutionary growth with my writing. As many of you know, or as I hope you know, I'm just starting this professional journey of artistic activism. I have no credentials other than my growing love for the God I see in others, my own growing experience of consciousness, and my ability to walk and talk with the angels. So, my view and understanding of what I'm doing is ever expanding; ever transcending even.
Now that I have officially put creative energy into the "pot," I've come to the point where I need to decide basic things that I'd either put off or didn't know I was to deal with. The first being what are my immediate goals? That's the biggie. Then there is what are my preferences? Or how about this; who is my targeted audience? All key questions that could be considered the corners of a writer's triangle. But before I can answer any of these I must . . . say it with me, know myself. Currently, I'm changing so much that I think its best to just stand in the eye of the storm. I can't answer those questions or the many others being thrown my way. Closing my own gap is what's important at the moment. This means I'm discovering not only how to see God more clearly in others but how do I serve, appreciate, and deliver on what I say I'm going to do. My current short story is that of Mow Yen going and meeting with her mentor, Monkey God, in private for the first time. That's where I'm at. I'm going in the sanctuary of the holy and gaining insights on how to be "Gaia's Champion." Mow Yen is Gaia's champion after all. I want to be like Mow Yen. There's nothing more to it than that. Before I attempt to tell a behind the scenes story of the preparation work for a long journey of serving others by defending the wisdom, power, and love that is humanity, I need to do my own preparation. I have to do it effectively and efficiently, smart and swift. I can do it, I've done it before. Only difference is this will be the first time that I'm sharing what I do and how I do with an audience. Then again, that's what writer's do. At least some of us. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle I'm going to keep this short as I have a meaty sized amount of reading to catch up on. But before I get into the reason for this post, what about those Ancient Civilizations? Between writing and editing I'm getting my money's worth of Gaia TV. I'm discovering tons of nuggets which I will be able to include in my stories (Short , Novel, Novella, and maybe a little Flash.) Look at me blushing from the thought of sharing my love with you.
Now the reason for this post. I am in the process of finishing a 9,000+ word, short story which I will be selling for .99 cents. It is a tie-in to the novel Lady Agape and The New Dimension which, if I haven't mentioned, is the first in the Chronicles of Mow Yen. This short story, Again: From the Gatekeeper to Leaving for the Earth Walk, will be uploaded for sell on April 20, 2018 to Smashwords; so unless bad juju vibes get in my way it should be available within the week after that. This is a complete story in which (Lady Agape) Mow Yen "recalls my most recent tale of travels from the nestled warmth and vastness of Heaven to the contrive coolness of the true Earthly Birthing Port." There is an appearance by Archangel Michael, Jesus, and God, who are in Heaven- Hollowed be His Name. This story includes a peak into the ongoing of an assignment meeting with the Elder Council. What is look like in the System Buster's break room. Plus, a glance of how Donnie and Mow Yen communicate when they're apart- even as one is in Heaven and the other is wherever Donnie is. I just had to share this with everyone. Hopefully you'll stop by and crop a copy. I'm still the same writer only telling an even more expansive stories. Still working hard to get Lady Agape & The New Dimension out during Spring 2018. In addition to one more short story in the Mow Yen world. As always, Thanks for Listening Sabrina Louise Andielle One of the more difficult things for me to do, as a Metaphysical/Visionary/Spiritual Fiction storyteller, having a guideline to align my stories. This means that often I would find myself rambling and therefore having to complete revision after revision in order to have some symbolism of a streamlined story, a tight story. In other words, I often found myself chasing my tail.
Well, I've been at this Visionary Fiction thing for about eight months now; trust me, it's truly an emerging genre I've latched on to. As I've spent weeks and months so far searching, not only to put my work in a knowledgeable position where I am comparing other writers and titles to myself to, but to also get a feel for what readers of the genre want, I'm finding that there are only a handful of successful, working writers engaged in this art form. But what Visionary Fiction lacks in numbers she makes up for in creativity, heart, and determination.
When I first started writing Lady Agape's story back in August, it was the result of an idea that came to me in April. See, Agape and Connor were enemy warlords. Agape even had assassins! There were eight women on Agape's council and Connor was going to die from one of Agape's assassin's bullet after he wiped out nearly everything Agape, including Agape. But that, like a lot of other storylines didn't feed me. As I created beyond the initial thrill, I became drained.
I think that by the time I first conceived Agape, I should have known that for my soul's caged bird to be free and sing I would need to stay in spiritual expression. But how would I, could I, feed the desire for and bliss of storytelling? I mean, the spiritual books that were successfully published and selling were a couple hundred pages long at most. I, on the other hand, have always had dreams of writing either a series or a collection of stand alone tomes of fantasy. Even though I knew that my area of natural knowledge and wisdom was with Spirit, I decided to follow my bliss and write Epic/High Fantasy. Well, I tried to write Epic/High Fantasy. The job of writing was so blocked. My attempts of sharing stories with themes of Laws of Spirit expressed by my elves, dwarfs, and daring human men and women following the Hero's Journey formula was a failure, major bust. I even gave up the idea that I could communicate my thoughts in a coherent manner. I stop writing and went deep into my depression. My friend told me that I should stick at it because it was my purpose and that writing would help me with my illness. Years passed without me doing anything and soon we were in 2017 and I made a promise to myself- I would just follow my joys , whatever they may be. Long story short; I discovered that I could still write the elements of good stories which were fantastical or/and totally fiction while staying true to the new truths of life within the illusion of reality. Plus there was an emerging genre that was being recognized as such: Visionary Fiction. Still, I haven't found anyone who is attacking this genre the way I do, it's okay. Just mean that I've in fact found my genius and my contribution to the collective consciousness. This means, I made it! I hung in there until a new island was found for me to explore. Now that I have a foundation's history and an audience's expectation for a spiritual story, a story with spiritual vision, a metaphysical vision, to guide me along the way. Patience and divine timing has paid off for me as I'm able to recognize the landmarks and translate the overview map titled: New Mythology for the New Spirituality. An ode to the Spiritual Journey that has been birthed out of the Hero's Journey of the past 2,000 years. Thanks for Listening -Sabrina Louise Holloway Andielle I've really been doing my research in order to tighten up the manuscript of my second novel. The first thing I learned (and did) was to introduce the characters, the setting, and the conflict. Since I know the complete story already it was a easier to plug the information in according to the books on writing that I have read. You know the mighty foreshadowing of what's to come without telling how it's coming.
I streamlined everything and presented myself as the author. In other words I set the tone for the story and as a new voice I introduced myself with my various length of paragraphs, word selection, and variety in characters all within 53 pages. Not really a hero's journey, although Agape goes within and face off with her inner child and the archetypal energy of survival in order to graduate from this vibration of the without. I have to keep in mind that this is visionary fantasy so the rules are a little different and not everyone is going to dig it. Nonetheless without any excuse, YOU MUST TELL A STORY FIRST and I believe I have a good one that's original and filling; then I hit you with the metaphysical stuff. The first draft is a solid foundation for what's to come and I'm excited and looking forward to sharing my character driven story containing a strong plot with the world. -Thanks for Listening Sabrina-Louise Andielle I have been working on Lady Agape and The New Dimension like a mad woman lately. I mean after all, talking about writing doesn't get the writing done; but I miss the weekly thrill of trying to find something interesting to talk about on my blogging sites. There is no greater feeling than that of having written something that others find interesting and if said readers decide to post comments that's the bonus for the writer (yes, me). At least for now it is, while I am still making strides toward being the Visionary/Metaphysical Fantasy writer that is dragging me by the nose to the computer and great books on the subject of the reality of the Mind of the Great Witness and the fantasy of matter.
This is home for me. Writing and reading and contemplating about how it all fit in together. Some say it is the act of giving and receiving or teaching and learning but I call it water. I try to swim through these philosophies like I was the Olympic Gold Medal winner Micheal P. Seriously! This book is going to be filled with a visionary/metaphysical themed conversation without preaching or boasting. I'm talking about the process that a hybrid child of the energy of the Father Universe and the Mother Earth would go through in order to gain greater responsibility on the third dimension of the Earth Plane and to recreate her own solar system within herself. The first thing this Blood Child of Gaia would have to do is die to everything, become the goo that a caterpillar goes through before becoming a butterfly. This means going to the current dying solar system that is within Lady Agape's DNA (Te-Orzi) and destroy the remaining planet (Cornith) in order to start over and this time maybe split Orvitama's (Agape's Created Name) attention into three or more dimensions. But enough of that. I could talk all day about this current storytelling project. This piece of work is just so much fun and it's helping me come into my own because it's home. Have you ever felt like this? Do you feel about your job the way I feel about being a storyteller? Anyway, I just wanted you know that I hadn't forgotten and I'm still alive. -Thanks for Listening Sabrina-Louise |
