Too many Premises, Too Little Time

Ok, so I haven't written anything profound on this blog this week. I've been living my very own Tyler Perry play(Yes we had a funeral, family reunion, a wedding, and an unrequited flame all in the same week.) I had to pass on an interview with Donna Richardson Joyner that put me in a blue funk, because I needed some spiritual fitness tips. But talking to Judge Glenda Hatchett and Chris Well gave me enough sunshine to make it through the week. But out of desperation for a solid story line I almost plotted this past weeks events into a fudged up/fictional account to write--a marketable story idea. But I will save this for Book Nine. And Yes. I have that many premises clogging up my brain.

It will take prayer and at least an OC & The Apprentice Fast to get myself back on track.

You see. I must confess. I suffer from impatience. It is a vice that keeps me in the book of Galatians and Ephesians on a weekly basis. I honestly, don't want to wait for my novel's ending, middle or beginnning. (My friends can tell you I read tv spoilers, because I can't wait for season finales.) Somewhere in my sick head I want this thing to morph from my brain to my PC. I have become my main character or is she haunting me?

Last year I interviewed Olympia Vernon, an author who keeps me in awe with her work. Her words transport me to this spiritual, scary, real place and I love her for it. Well she told me that her writing process wasn't a process, but it was these characters demanding to speak through her. Spirits if you're in to that thing(I am.) I thought she was a bit loopy for saying that, but now I'm in her Amen corner. Feltus Morgan, Peaches, Deacon and SomeDudeAverageJoe won't let me go. They are impatient. They won't let me complete my book reviews, drive Selah to preschool or decide on a proper wedding dress.

But I have my 8 point plot together thanks to J. Mark Bertand. And now my characters are creeping into my plot. The Lord is talking to me again(that's a story for another day)So what's next, Chapter one?

Writing to see what the end gon' be,
