As I continue to polish and polish Hour of Change, the greater the abundance I receive.
If you're like me, you have a little difficulty pinning down the elusive theme, message, and claim that an author presents in their "book babies". When I first started learning how to write novels, knowing what my contributing statement would be was another place/piece where I would get stomped. As the years have continued to tick by and I have remained the faithful student [even when I threw in the towel], mysteries have become discoveries and what was a second language has now become a part of my native tongue. First there was the set up, the three sections and what happens within them. Then it was pacing, remember me finding out that the beginning is the set-up, the middle is the lead-up, and the ending is the wrap-up. Then there was the foreshadowing, the infamous breadcrumbs that everyone wants. Now, I have conquered the mighty theme and its sidekick, message; which led me to my claim. Before I go further let me share my understanding of a book's claim. To me, you can always voice your opinion, because we all have one. But a claim is something different. It, a claim, must be proven by the person stating it; no matter the circumstances or depth of thought. That is what I include in Hour of Change. The burden of proof belongs with whoever is making the claim. No proof, then no acceptance by resistance. Which means you're standing there with your opinion; which everyone has. But, that is another post in and of itself. Let me stay on track. Here are my three legs to the stool named Hour of Change: Theme: Death and Rebirth (in that order) Message: Give yourself up to be reborn. Claim: We need to put down what serves us, once it has served us, to make room for what serves us. Mow Yen starts with death of everything she has worked hard for. Then she's in a state of gestation which appears to be very dormant but is quite the opposite since the gestation is in the middle of the novel. There is action there even if its just the illumination of situation and releasing of the need to have control. Then Mow is reborn with an spanking brand new covenant with Yahweh and knowledge of the Plan of Evolution of all on the Third Density of Earth. That is Mow's Death and Rebirth and it is one we must all take in order to be born again in the words, water, and fire of divinity. So, once again, Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Holloway
