Kindness Passes Lightening

Kindness Passes Lightning

Noah works strong, until the blitz

Armageddon shrivels souls in bits

Dose palms of oxy pills hide the pain

Snowflakes shards melt on black coat

Wool  recalls odor of a calf in the rain

Dreams become lost papers on a note.

Megiddo's a hill built upon graves

kindness opportunity rushes silent

lines in the highway flow in waves

holidays forgotten without hot riot.

Linear time  wipes out the past

Drips wear the wonder of crust

Aroma of rising bread  lost fast

A lover's necklace turns to dust.

Witness death of your child

sun on back, ashes apathetic

When nights thin mind wild

bitter peel shrivels lethargic.

Prism reflects from the river

Daily battles keep from seeing

What matters: is being a giver

All religions, good souls being.

Noah works strong  until the blitz

Armageddon shrivels souls in bits

Kindness passes lightening storms

Broken Doorbell

    Made it to 53900 words on the current novel. The point of view changed. Almost through the door to the finish line. Please do not ring my doorbell or pull my chain, I am not answering right now.

   This was such a struggle in Toxic Assets, as I wrote the first and second revision in first person. Then after two readers complained about the point of view, calling it a contemporary fu-fu style. I changed it and then editing became this voice in my head nightmare. I am going to use a literary trick and switch the middle half of the book that is written in second person over the shoulder of the eco-terrorist, and then the first person narrative will be the ending. Not as flashbacks, I need to use something else, not certain what that will unfold.

    In my last book I wrote in beats or poetry scenes like a movie. This one is written in another method. I'm intrigued by the story location and that this one is more of a thriller. My lead and heroine is fifty something, I may need to make her younger to be realistically able to complete the athletic actions she takes. Writing this post very fast as time is so valuable with doing Nanowrimo my goal is to be finished on the 24th.

     Take a look in the photograph, there are lucky horseshoes on the door, a common western theme. I had expected to have The Lucky Boy Advance Reader copies in my hands yesterday, but UPS left a delivery slip- I guess I didn't hear them. If you want to review, contact me and I will send a copy.

   I apologize if I have not been very present in my usual promoting others but I am very focused on creating new work and the muse is singing all over the place. Do this Do that hurry up and scat.
