July 2019 was the beginning of the third year of my journey to becoming a publish author with a traditional publisher. I tell you this has been a journey of twist and turns to the point that I now understand why the underground roots of a forest looks like a map of success. This becoming a traditional publisher's client is not like self-publishing or publishing with a mom and pop racket. There is a level of mastery which requires focus that just isn't requested otherwise. Writing, rewriting, editing, revision; and much, much more. You can become lost in the drafts alone. I'm on my second revision of what ended up being five drafts and yes, things are tighter than they were months earlier; but, I would not have brought this level of intensity to the game if it wasn't for the fact that I want to be of the roster of a traditional publisher.
In my adventure to being who I am professionally, I'm learning patience and skills which never crossed my mind before. Storytelling and writing stories are two different things; a true master combine and perform both until flawlessness is the appearance. As I continue, now with glee, I find that it really is the journey. I do what I do, read what I read, all to be close with the Universe. My goal has expanded and I'm not getting into what that means at the moment. Being so close, only to have the carrot moved to a different location, because there are lessons and energy to be gained at this new settlement. Yet, I love my guides and I wouldn't take nothing in the world for them. Plus the second installment of The Chronicles of Mow Yen is coming along faster, with less waste. The name: Zep Tepi. It means new dawn. It has been said: If it is fast then it won't last. I used to question that because I was fast and I was producing work. But, being honest with myself, I realized that my work lacked a certain degree of professionalism which I love. I discovered and surrendered to the fact that, that which I sought would only be achieved if I listened to God and slowed down. That meant, enjoying myself on a sunny day, a cloudy day, a rainy day, even a snowy day. Plus I needed time to be still; not just because God said so, but because nothing grow up fast or overnight except when you add man's contribution. Real stuff of God takes time and I am a Metaphysical Fantasy writer. It's a forest I tell you. Hour of Change began in 2018. I will continue to work on this story, only presenting it when needed; but know this: just as the mulberry leaf turns to silk with time, Hour of Change is becoming solid and without fancy. I now pitch it as James Redfield meets J.K. Rowling. And although the level of mastery that those two shared with the world could have been tighter, I stand by them for their vision and determination. They both opened the minds of the public to a new thing. Which is what exploring and pioneering is about; and I am both. Just wanted to let you know that your girl hasn't given up on Hour of Change. That I'm near ... who am I fooling I still have two more run through before tackling the huddles of getting an agent again. A lot has changed. No more Satan. Mow is now a she-demon from the third ring of Saturn. Hina has more screen time and she brings her daughter with her. There are Seven Spirits that must be located. Not to mention that Mow still needs to located her three teams of five Elohim before the December 2030 date. Zeus is still Zeus but he has a newly invented master, Amidas- Mow Yen blood relative which she's never met. Mow's back story has changed and it's an all around tighter story which set up the adventurous journey of The Chronicles of Mow Yen. Plus I know how the damn series ends. For all who are praying for me and Mow, thank you! We aren't going to stop until we see publication and distribution in bookstores throughout the world. Yes, the vision has grown and the ask is bigger but when you're looking to become part of the underground root system of a forest, you better come hard or not at all. Thanks for Listening!
