Of Dimensions of Experience, Mystery and Feet of Practicality…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays
Climax follows a time a crisis.
As the story heads for resolution the protagonist must decide how she or he will evidence not only their survival and triumph of the great battle she or he has fought, but how they will manifest those that shift in consciousness, that change of heart, in a way that will allow the experience to remain alive within them.
Then, and only then, can she, or he truly know the victory over death whose roots lie in fear, doubt and disbelief.
So many times we sabotage ourselves into thinking that we less than what we are.
Likewise we ground our identity of who we are and our purpose in life on the erroneous belief that we do not matter, and that what we have to offer means little if anything.
This is often the case for writers and artists of many kinds.

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

Archetypes and Story
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays, Musings
Much like the gods and goddesses of Hinduism and Yoruban spirituality reflect the forces of the human mind and heart, archetypes display aspects and dimensions of character and personality.
They show the various degrees of evolution of the human soul from birth to death.
