Passionflower, it's only the tempering that makes pottery or steel,

whichever metaphor you like better. Would I be who I am now if not for this? No, so am I sorry? No.

Wow! I'm sorry I missed this...

It's so well written and such a great story you tell. Of course I'm sorry for your suffering and I'm so glad you're much better.

Mneme, speaking of the wellspring of ideas, there was a tv show on last

night, on the Discovery channel about black holes, space-time continuum, the Milky Way and the universe in general.  I was stunned, since I know so little about astronomy, at how many galaxies there are. At the sheer power and magnificence of the universe itself. 

They talked at length about black holes, there is a huge project going on to map the universe, and found that every single galaxy had a black hole in the center of it.  It was fascinating, primal, primordial, immense and fascinating.

Not skeptical, Blanche, more whimsical

Esoterica is my mainstay. I like what you're doing here, tapping into that deep well. Doesn't matter where the material comes from; I was thinking more of when the awareness of such things began, back in the mists of time. Call me old-fashioned.

and you don't have to apologize for typos to me,Mneme, lol. I am the queen

of not only typos, but of forgetting whole clauses in my hurry to get an idea down.  Typo, what typo?

" how the seed of the other-worldly was planted in human consciousness",

Mneme, you sound skeptical. The experiences are not imaginary, even if I put them in a fictional format.  I may embellish here, or cut there, but the gist of the story is as I have lived it.  So, the seed was planted by the other-worldly itself.

Justi, I have heard of the Frank Peretti books, I am not reading anything

that will influence my own story at this point, I just can't.  Somehow, intuitively, it does not feel right, it will alter my own, and I want it to be as accurate as possible.  Whatever inspiration I have, has to come from within.

Strong writing, Blanche. Imagery makes it.

This paragraph for instance:

The maelstroms of my heart, unmoored on the sea of fortune, alone, brought me to many shores, tossed on the waves, searching for signs of direction, and a star to steer by.

The reader is bombarded with mind-flicking pictures to create a really rich texture to the prose.

oops

Sorry for the typo, Blanche - must be the gin and tonic.

Balnche, this is very engaging

and very perceptive. There really is a lot of untapped material out there in the other-wordly, and even if it all turned out to be nonsense, you have to wonder how the seed of the idea was planted at the beginning of human consciousness...

Dear one. Satan's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. He goes after those who will do good unless he can stop them, harm them or slow them as much as possible. Please get This Present Darkness or Piercing the Darkness both are by Frank Pareitti. They will talk about a lot of what you are talking about. They are fiction, but they are addressing truth all to close as many of us know.

I love the immediacy of stories written in first person.

Cool, Talion, I'm excited to see! (I did make a couple of changes since

this morning. I'l be eager to see what you think).

Blanche.

You have mail.

I would find it hard to write otherwise, Rumoured, it's my life story.

Thank you, for the encouragement.  I'm puzzled as to how to describe it from here, what details are salient and which are not, but your encouragement and that of the other writers here whom I really respect means so much.  Thank you.

wow, Blanche, this is trerrific!...you got my attention...keep writing

now you are doing something I find hard to do at times - write in the first person..very well done....

Sannhet, the shadow knows, but she isn't telling yet! Stay tuned!

Blanche -

Hmmmm. Just who is this person (?) you write of. And what is after her (?) and what is It after. Looking forward to the next installment!

That's good enough for me, TVBlogger. I'm not really sure what to say

either, but I appreciate the read and letting me know that you read it.  I'm working on it.  I hope you're feeling more hopeful than yesterday about yours.

posted by Blanche. on October 31, 2006 at 10:56 AM | link to this | reply

Very descriptive and well told

For some reason I'm having trouble coming up with good comments today... I read people's stuff and then can't figure out what to say about any of it.  But, I wanted you to know I read here and liked it.  Perhaps I'll have something more constructive to say another day.  I look forward to the next installment.

posted by TVBlogger on October 31, 2006 at 10:43 AM | link to this | reply

Ahem, Troosha, pretty much all of it. That's why I haven't written the

"next part" I'm still figuring that part out.

posted by Blanche. on October 31, 2006 at 10:27 AM | link to this | reply

That was great, Blanche

I look forward to more and wonder just how much of this struggling soul/person you write of is a piece of Blanche.  Great post and wonderful beginning.

Then I'd better get to work on it, thank you, Katray!

As I said below, getting critiques from good writers like you, Talion, PatB, Dave and others means a lot to me, and it has done my confidence a world of good.

Excellent reading Blanche...

Strong and dramatic writing. I'll be watching for the next post.

Looking for the next installments!

Blanche.

No need to email it. I can copy and paste to a word document. I'll email you the results this afternoon/evening.

Please do, Talion, I'll email you the text if you like, feel free!

to be as liberal with the red pen as you like. I really want the feedback.  (I'm still working on the next installment).

Blanche.

I wondered when you'd try your hand at fiction. Your writing style is well-suited for it. Good so far. I'm no expert, but I noticed a few things that could make this tighter and even more suspenseful (if this is a word). I'll gladly share my ideas if you wish.  

posted by Talion on October 31, 2006 at 8:00 AM | link to this | reply

Cool, words of praise from a master storyteller herself, PatB are so sweet.

I'm working on it, I need to quit schmoozing here so much and write, but this came to me late last night.

Ya got me!!!

waiting for the next installment!   Nice concrete details to build a dream fog. And suspense!

Thanks, Mariam, there's more to this story than meets the eye, and it'll
