Of Blogs, The Umbilical Cord, and the Internet…,
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Connecting with the godhead, that part of the divine that lives within all, the Imago Dei, coalesces the disparate parts of the soul, mind and brokenness of heart and spirit.
Writing or revising and editing this part of a story or novel can and often dispenses healing to the writer whose words later transmit this to the reader.
The writer undergoes a trial or test of sorts each time she or he sets out to craft a work.

Of Intermediate Regions, Hunger and Thirst…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
There stands an intermediate region in the life and structure of a novel, that place between crossing the border of the opening and beginning and entering into a series of actions that lead to the penultimate center of the journey.
It lies between the edge of that vast new world of survival that constitutes the protagonist’s path of growth and transformation, the steps she or he makes towards achieving their goal. It is a land filled obstacles of varied sorts, and the ultimate crisis that manifests profound change.
This area operates much like the night before that big game, the minutes ticking up to giving one’s debut concert. For writers this can function much like reading one’s novel for those last times wherein we institute final edits towards bringing the work to its brightest hue

Of Dilemmas, Alice in Wonderland, and Shifts in Consciousness…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
There comes a time in every story or novel when the main character stands in the midst of her or his dilemma like Alice does in Wonderland.
The protagonist ponders, How do present circumstances differ from my immediate past?
This place, like that of Alice in her wondrous, and yet frightening Wonderland sits between the time of order in the life of the main character, then shaken by chaos and the present time of having begun the journey towards adapting to the change required by the moment of upheaval and the need to survive.
