Of Blogs, The Umbilical Cord, and the Internet…,

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 Illusions, Diamonds, and The Imago Dei…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Crises consist of many obstacles, the least of which include illusions, and deceptions. Illusions held about life, and deceptions by others, and self fiercely clung to often comprise the nets limiting awareness.
Reaching the peak of crisis, and fighting the battle that awaits requires perseverance and remaining focused on the task at hand.
Doing so generates the strength and acuity to cut through the gales of misconceptions and shatter intricate pillars supporting half-truths, and lies of omission.
To the degree these inconsistencies are destroyed the protagonist gains a depth of insight nearly parallel or akin to prophecy.
In reality their vision to does not extend into the future.
Rather they are more able to behold the events and consequences of actions that stand before them.
Climbing the summit of one’s dilemma’s and problems, meeting the physical obstacles tied to inner demons and slaying the monsters of betrayal, and self-delusions grants clearer vision, both within and around one.
Experience and knowledge sows seeds from which sprout the gifts of truth and honesty wrapped in a bow of fortitude to remain committed to what is, and not turn away, when our wishes are not immediately granted.

Of Romance, Truth, and Purging the Hidden Pools of Consciousness…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Many things can happen during the approach towards the heart of a story, or novel, both for the protagonist, and the writer.
The blossoming flower of romance provides a mainstay in many stories that tug and keep open the hearts and minds of readers, wherein new possibilities enter for them to ponder both in the narrative line of the story, or novel, that perhaps offers a mirror into their own lives.
We come to books, and read not only to know that we are not alone, but also to solidify, validate and unconsciously prepare ourselves for the one constant in all of human living–change.

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
