Hello! (Trust me, I'm waving)
I wanted to take the time to share a little more of my supportive documents for The Mow Yen Chronicles: Hour of Change. These questions will help you understand how I'm making metaphysicial fantasy not only easy and entertaining, but I'm staying true to some of the more elementary lessons we learn by traveling the journey/adventure of Spirit. Without any more introduction, please, read these ten questions and my replies. If you can think of another question or two, please, feel free to ask.- S.L.A. Whose story is this? Who is the protagonist? This is the Soul's Personality which is Mow Yen story. She is the center of the story and from whose eyes the story is told. What is the protagonist's external story goal? The external goal is to create a new level of evolution for the Thinking Man on the Third Dimension What is the protagonist's internal story goal, if any? (a character without a growth arc may not have one) The internal goal is to not be swallowed alive by the residents of Welnikov. If she can be the system buster that she was created to be then she will be better able to accomplish her external goal. She wants to pass the initiation. What promises does the opening of this story make to the reader? This story promises to deal with the concept of initiation of any part of the Creator-Thinker-Host, and it will be an intriguing and informative. For each character with a growth arc, how do they grow or change by the end of the story? Goddess Hel is more confident in her ability to rule the Netherworld. Mow Yen is in stronger re-memberance of who she is. No longer the uninitiated fool, Mow is now in the position to gather the Team 15 in the month's-time that she has been allocated. Po Li is now understanding of his actions and willing to love. To break his cynical attitude about life. Daughter of the Moon, Hina is now responsible for herself as never before and she takes this responsibility serious. She is now on her journey which will lead to an adventure if she allows it. What is at stake for each character in this story? Could those stakes be any higher? The 3 Mein Fates are being tested and if they fail this as a team they will be replaced as a team. Deja Jung is about to lose her twin mirror and her position as guardian and mother of the planet Earth/Gaia. She is about to lose the main part of her identity as she knows it. Vu Jung is about to gain a permanent position in the galaxy of the Milky Way but lose his twin mirror. He must decide if he still wants to be part of Deja's world. Wayland Smith is about to lose his mind because what he is doing appears "wrong", but it is what's required by the whole of creation; now he doesn't know who to trust. Goddess Hecate is about to lose what she has for a chance to have what she desires and have been told to leave alone. Olympian God Zeus is about to lose his position that he's held on through thick and thin and be returned to the primal energy- regenerated into a total new Personality. Goddess Hel is about to lose the belief that she must play small in order to keep peace in the whole of creation. Archangel Slone is about to lose her stability as an Archangel of stable and obedient beings in Yahweh's Executive Branch of Leadership. Mow Yen is about to be initiated into a new life and devotion to purpose. She must give up being a system buster to be a system buster. Po Li is about to be initiated into true masculinity. He is about to lose loneliness. He must give up the false sense of manhood that was presented to him by the leadership of Zeus. Moon Daughter Hina is to be initiated into femininity and leadership. She gives up her home to help broken people who may be able to change and therefor change the galaxy starting with the planet Earth/Gaia because she will be the essence of this planet until she can receive her masculine counterpart and partner. What are the themes in this story, if any? Initiation is something that we must all go through in order to gain a breakthrough to a higher frequency of living. We must trust in ourselves and in the true creator, the Creator-Thinker-Host. Once we make that shift in belief and understanding, then we will be able to be the larger, more authentic, divine beings that we are. What do you want the reader to be experiencing as they read this story? I wish for the reader to gain either an understanding of breakdowns to breakthroughs which leads to successful surrendering into the initiation, or an unconditional encouragement just from watching a group of connected individuals handle the same theme, initiation, in different ways but their individual contributions still evolve the whole. What main emotions do you want the reader to be experiencing as they read this story? Hope. Devotion. Motivation. Inspiration. Curiosity. What genre do you think this story belongs in? If it belongs in more than one, which one do you think is primary? This is a spiritual/visionary/metaphysical fantasy. With that said, it primarily belongs in the metaphysical genre. Wow! That was a sprint. But thank you for listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle

I can't believe it. I've polished this Character List to its final shine. In other words, the main characters, antagonists, and protagonist are established and written in stone. I know their voices. I know the motivations behind their actions. I'm so excited that I had to share. So, without further ado, without any particular order, here are the 16 beings living in Welnikov that The Chronicles of Mow Yen: Hour of Change is focused on.
Herkin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Future. His is the adultlike voice which is always pushing Mow to engage in the going on of Welnikov. He is aware that Mow's stay in the Welnikov Dimension is just the setting for Mow to complete her Initiation, Integration, and Transformation for her 2030 task in the third dimension. His words and actions are always calculating even when he presents them as spontaneous. Chekin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Past. His is the childlike voice which is always dragging Mow to engage in the going on of Thebes Tower. He is aware that as the child of Mikin, Mow has lived a difficult life on the third dimension and must forgive in all ways and all directions before she can truly transform into the leader of the Welnikov Team 15. His words and actions are always gentle even if they aren't kind. Mikin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Present. His is the adolescent-like voice which is always trying to prevent Mow from involving herself with anything besides the command to Gather, Prepare, and Instruct the Welnikov Team 15 for the 2030 task in the Third dimension. His words and actions are always forceful even if his intent is to be spacious and allowing. Deja Jung: The Feminine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia. Hers is the manipulative voice which is attempting to seduce Mow into preventing the Death Moon Ritual even though prophesy states that she will die if the ritual is stopped. Her words and actions are flattering and misleading until circumstances demand for her to be the primal being that she is. Vu Jung: The Masculine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia. His is the coy voice which supports Deja in seducing Mow into preventing the Death Moon Ritual, even though prophesy states that he will live his remaining years as a reflective part of the planet if stops the ritual. His words and actions are hesitant and liken to that of a host of a manor or a mansion in the process of being foreclosed. Wayland Smith: The outgoing Champion of Gaia. His is the confused voice which is doing what is right, thereby having to live with the consequences of doing wrong, in order to incarnate on the third dimension in the year of 2030. His words and actions are crypted since he has been assigned the position of Vu's executioner and doesn't know who to trust. (Antagonist) Titan/Goddess Hecate: The Commander of the Dead of Welnikov and the eventual temporary replacement of the Feminine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia, after Deja is sucked into the Netherworld. Hers is the voice and actions of desperation and intimidation attempting to grab control over the rulership of the planet. (Antagonist) Olympian God Zeus: The chief god in the Cad' lad territory of Welnikov's Netherworld and eventual temporary replacement of the Masculine Essence of personality of the planet Earth/Gaia, after Vu is sucked into the Netherworld. His is the voice and actions of projecting and dying domination and expectation which has outlived its season. Thereby he is fighting to hold on the glory of yesteryear's consciousness. Goddess Hel: The Keeper and Charge Maiden of the Book of the Dead of Welnikov who teams up with Mow in order to remove Hecate and Zeus from their new positions in Welnikov's PiCaddily. Hers is the voice and actions of true unconditional love, assistance, and performance to Yahweh and the Creator-Thinker-Host thereby she is the same truth for Mow. Archangel Slone: The personal guardian angel and Archangel assigned to Mow in all ways and all directions. Hers is the voice and actions of feminine support from the angelic realm which is a mirror to Archangel Michael. She is rarely seen but is always nurturing and motivational when she is. (Protagonist) Mow Yen: System Buster who has become stagnant. Relocated to the strange dimension of Welnikov, hers is the voice and actions of some one who is fighting the process of growth into a new position of true abundance and love. She must learn unconditional love while maintaining the energy and dedication to destruction- she is a true angel of Death. Young Mow Yen: Mow Yen's inner child and free bird, her purity of soul which hasn't yet abstracted herself to meet others' expectations- not even a sexual and sensual Po Li. While Mow was building her reputation on the third, Young Mow ran away to Welnikov. Now that the two are reunited, hers is the voice and actions of healing, learning, adjusting, and ultimately dying so that Mow can learn her lessons of leadership, unconditional love, and co-creating with the Creator-Thinker-Host in support of Yahweh and the Children of Earth/Gaia. Po Li: The Twin Mirror of Mow. During previous incarnations, Po was the one that carried the shadow energies leading to the destructive energies which imprisoned him in Winton Harvest of Welnikov's Netherworld. His is the voice and actions of sharing, forgiving, fighting, and evolution from journey to adventure so that Mow can become a realized demigoddess by partnering with him and his powerful gifts of manifestation, offering the third dimension a model of authentic love between partners and as individual halves. Guardian Statue, Copeland: The statue on the right which gives Mow a hard time before agreeing to let her pass through the gates. His is the voice and actions of self-doubt as he was created for that purpose. He will speak the doubt that is in the heart of the living being attempting to enter the Netherworld of Welnikov. His confrontational mannerism cause Mow to think twice about where she is, where she was, and where she is going . . . Mow needs him. Guardian Statue, Striveland: The statue on the left which gives Mow unconditional support before and after agreeing to let her pass through the gates. His is the voice and actions of self-confidence as he was created for that purpose. He will grant the patience and encouragement which is part of the core, primal energies of the individual and collective. Not as protective as Copeland, but he does get the job done with joy and ease. It is he that asks the questions. Daughter of the Moon, Hina: The young feminine energy which has been sent by the Moon to aid Mow in her task for the evolution of the Thinking Man back on the third dimension in the year 2030. Curiosity of Circumstances, Hina is intrigued by Mow, Po, and Young Mow and therefore accomplish her purpose of becoming the new permanent feminine essence of personality of the planet Earth/Gaia. She, in her newfound position, grants everyone she travels with while attempting to enter the Mystical Rose, the freedoms to accomplish the Divinely Assigned Tasks buried in their hearts. Younger than Mow, even, Hina must learn to balance the Masculine and Feminine Essences before her Masculine takes his position besides her. Hers is the voice and actions of unconditional love and service in training for a higher calling. I know this was a long post, but thanks for sticking to the end. Once again, thanks for listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle With the coming of the 2019 New Year comes the first hardwood deadline for Sabrina Louise Andielle. I have until 1/31/19 to send out the first wave of required material for consideration of representation by an agent. This means I'm starting to understand why prolific authors have wheelbarrows under their eyes.
I have my pitch: Hour of Change is the story of a System Busting Demigoddess who must relocate from the Third Dimension of humans to the Welnikov dimension of goddesses and gods, there she must heal her understanding of unconditional love and complete a journey to break down one of Welnikov's oldest Systems. I have my paragraph synopsis: Hour of Change tells the story of 48,000-year-old demigoddess, Mow Yen, relocating to the Welnikov dimension before the completion of her task of evolving Mankind of the Third dimension of Earth with an "unforeseeable leap." Once on Welnikov, Mow discovers that her hope of returning to the Third, by completing an assigned task of gathering 15 gods and goddesses to aid her in evolving Mankind, is going to be harder than she planned; as she must bust one of Welnikov's oldest systems which can only be done by her gaining a new understanding of unconditional love- thereby returning her, and a new team, to the Third enabling Mow Yen to accomplish her Soul's Core Directive of Creation. My one page synopsis is too long to post here (in this entry) but it's coming along and I'm adding shine to it. I'm pretty sure about the first 50 pages- I never knew how much telling the initial couple of drafts hold. Talk about a cutting room floor. I'm putting the finishing touches on the entire manuscript, especially the ending- which I just added a god to today which will put more flesh on the bones of this story and create an even better set-up for the next in the Chronicles Series. Most important, I'm getting ready for rejection and inquiry. Working on it 6 to 8 hours daily is giving me confidence about a subject matter which hasn't been tried in such way before. Hearing it play out is giving me courage to share myself with the profession of publishing. So, in all reality I have 2 weeks left to tinker with this thing. I can dig that! Anyway, I just wanted to share the excitement and motivation. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle. I think I've mentioned I'm going a different route with Hour of Change. I'm going to seek an agent instead of trying to continue publishing books by myself; so, yeah, I've telling you once more, okay?
Funny, the thought of having to put my work before a professional someone who can help me leap professional publishing hurdles more swiftly and accurately is a little nerve wreaking. Again, there is a level of professionalism which must be presented before you really can begin stretching your legs with an independent, creative streak. Being that I'm committed to this, I'm willing to color in the lines now with a minimum flare of "originality of me." I understand that storytelling and story writing are two different things and now that I come out my apprenticeship of one area its time to enter the other. I'll be the first to admit that the process of self-publishing is a team effort; at least now I can. And, a team is something that I do not have, no matter how much praise and encouragement I receive. If you ain't paying money then most of the time only your true friends have time to assist you and most of the time they know just as much as you, if not less; especially when you're just starting out. The energy, emotion, and expression needed to start a publishing house from nothing with nothing, knowing nothing is damn near impossible and that is something that I didn't understand when I started Seasoned Storytelling. But being that this Universe loves the underdog, I'm not giving up. I'm just going to gain an education on how to own a publishing house the way I've learned everything else, through an apprenticeship. What apprenticeship you ask. There are no such thing as an apprentice now a days, you have formal higher education. Okay, then I will gain a education by becoming a professional author under a professional publisher. There's is nothing to lose but pride. So pride be gone! I've been working hard, diligently, and differently on my first proposal project: The Chronicles of Mow Yen: The Hour of Change, for six months now and I have now reached a couple of hurdles. First, I received feed back via Beta Readers of my first 50 pages and with the exception of a few minor adjustments those pages are ready to be in the Beta Manuscript. Second, I just completed the first draft of the second 50 pages. Third, and last, I have planned the entire middle out and although it's not written in stone, it's a great guideline which will keep me on target of presenting well paced action. See, I've learned to set the stage. I've learned how to wrap up. Now I'm polishing my skill of unfolding action. The thing I love about Metaphysical Fantasy, it's life and there is no need to present explosions and/or murder for shock value. The action isn't break neck entertainment but informative and healing to the soul as we watch a group of individuals get out of a situation which is meant to strengthen the Logos/Way/God by strengthening said individuals by breaking the individuals by breaking the connection with the Logos/Way/God. That's what the amnesia game is all about. Breaking muscle to build muscle. And that's what I'm doing as I jump these story writing muscles. Well, I just wanted to share my "pictures" of the hurdles I've just jumped. So as always, Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle While I was going the self-publishing route, I skipped over some very important pieces that I couldn't have otherwise. Now that I am going the traditional publishing route, and I have 24 years of writing under my belt, I have to follow the rules and requirements and produce report like stuff. There are no short-cuts or crying while shopping your product. Learn what's being asked and grow a thick skin! The first example that you have done both is the electronic query letter.
The entire thing in between 200-400 words and that includes your pitch, hook, and closing. I currently have two drafts and both are around 225-255 words. I've learned to release my previous works and focus on re-entering as a virgin novelist. Just say I've been born again. In coming at this process as a newbie, I've learned a thing or two or three. 1) Restraint is your friend. You don't need to tell the entire novel in 300 words. To believe that you do is a ball faced lie. Here's the trick; imagine that you are talking to someone who doesn't understand what you're talking about. For instance a four year old. Say what you have to say simple enough for him. Being that I write metaphysics I need to bring it down a lot and when I do, I lose so many words that I'm often left wondering what the big resistance to my giving in to an inquiry in the first place. 2) Temper, Temper Don't take this serious. Have fun with it. Know that all they can tell you is no and move on. Taking this serious as a heart attack may in fact cause one. Don't try to sell ice-cream to an penguin or a polar bear (although the bear might take you up on your offer, I don't the bird will.) To avoid getting over heated: Keep It Simple Silly! 3) Memorization Will Come The best way to know how you sound is to read it aloud. The process of constantly having to do so will engrave it into you mind; and while you're shopping for agents you will hear yourself aligning what you've written in a half page with their pitch. Remember they need us as much as we need them. At least these three things seem to be working for me. I'll keep you updated with the results one way or another. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle I listen to my meditative thoughts.
I've been told until the manuscript is completed, there is no way to write the synopsis. When I first heard this piece of advice I was bull-headed. There was no way to know what was going to happen and if you've got things happening without the dreaded three or five pages of review. This, the synopsis, was way to knowing if you had an idea or a story, if you had conflict, but most of all if you had the three cores [beginning, middle, and ending.]
With each project I've done after learning about synopsis, premise, theme, and message, I've made certain to attempt to iron-out these required pre-writing tools for my project. But as I would finish, I felt uncertainty with what I had. This uncertainty would manifest into an nonpunishable manuscript; although these jewels were lessons, they were lessons that were slowly cut from stone. My frustrations couldn't subside because I knew that those formerly mentioned pre-writing tools were part of a writer's stable of tools which enables the writer to go about writing sketches and organizing the mammoth that is a novel of an idea. Finally after no longer pretending that I could complete these tools pre-written manuscript, in Hour of Change I was able to go from synopsis to the writing of the 1st draft with the shifting ease of an automatic transmission. The writing gods and goddesses were kind upon me; but, more than that, I was the one who made the decision that I would go back and forward with the pieces until I had something that resembled an outline and 1st draft manuscript. These two birth the synopsis and polished first 50 pages. Which is the purpose of this blog post. You will need a good, hardy, consistent, outline. Nothing too deep but something that will take you to your destination with little sight-seeing that many novelist include in the completion of the manuscript. Many writers, such as myself, believe that we can't begin without a synopsis but whatever synopsis that is written will need to be constantly updated until the novel is finished, i.e. placing the details that will not/ could not come out until the actual writing. Making it more liken to an outline. An outline that I prefer. The synopsis which is required for submission to an agent or a publisher will not look like the ones written when the story is first coming to you. As they should. This means one of the biggest headaches can now be let go of. Just drop the rope. The secret, I learned, nail the synopsis through re-writing until you can start writing sketches, defining setting, and fleshing out characters. Then put that darn synopsis in the brainstorming file which you should have squeezed all life out this file contents. Start the manuscript writing process. Finish it. Then write the synopsis draft for solicitation. Compare it to what you've actually have in your manuscript then adjust as needed: either on the synopsis end or the manuscript's. Repeat this process until what you intended to say when you first wrote the synopsis is what you're saying in the manuscript, but more importantly in the synopsis. First advertisement, this highly glorified book review/report could actually determine the rate of speed that your project get published or sat in a drawer until skill match dream. 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!
