Well, well, well; we meet again. That was my attitude this morning, as I settled in to work on my WIP.
See, I am one of those gentle, Spirit chasing, devotees of this adventure called: Spirit having a Human Experience. The idea of thinking about pretending to raise my intent in an disobedient way cause me to shiver. I'm a solider in the army of the Creator-Thinker-Host who has been placed under the command of Yahweh. A solider, I tell you. I do what's told. Back on topic, Sabrina. I have always had problems with constructing a villain. I understood that everyone needs resistance to grow, but I just couldn't understand why you would want to be the resistance. Being a writing storyteller, I am responsible with the task of conveying ideas and meaning. To do this means I have to understand both sides of every situation- objectively. And, for the most part, I have learned to be open to the bad guy in order to get his/her story. Once I became "friends" with these rascals I came up against another wall: Now that I know you, are you really needed for the story? No longer shaken by their energy, I am able to ask different questions of my characters. No longer shaken by their energy, I am able to tell them to hit the dirt. That's what I did. That's where I am during this version of this story of Initiation; titled Hour of Change. Zeus and Hecate were villains during brainstorming, draft 1, draft 2, and the initial set-up of draft 3. Now I see that Zeus is the villain and he claps hard. After all, he is fighting for his life so he is taking no prisoners. My son says he, Zeus, "walked in the room folded his hands across his belly and said, 'I'm that n****r.'" Now those with teenagers or who are teen aged at heart know what my son meant and I'm quite proud. Allowing Zeus to be Zeus (god fighting to gain control of the third dimension and to avoid being returned to the primal energies of the Creator-Thinker-Host) took pressure off Hecate and she got to return to being the Titan/goddess caught up in Zeus mess and this time she may have made the wrong choice by making the choice she did. Anyway, I've freed up so much energy by strengthening Zeus and removing weight off Hecate. But the thing that surprised me most was the sigh of relief I let go when I just erased the Wayland character. I just simply returned him to my creative primal energies. The man won't even be mentioned in Hour of Change. I did replace him with a bad guy, the ultimate bad guy, Satan. But Yahweh is an on screen character who appears just before Satan and is the only one who even think about confronting Satan. But, both of them have seconds on film. Bottom Line: Free your imagination and let your stories be populated by personalities you wouldn't necessarily consciously portray while in the third dimension. Oh, and kill a few sons of bitches; if you have to. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle
