The Unfoldment

I carried Sacred Earth around inside of me for 3 years. When it finally came out of me, it did so in 4 months. The next book however, I did not already have inside of me. Sacred Song took 6 months to write and I had to make it up as I went along. So when it came to the third book, Sacred Hearts, I have been completely stumped and could not see the plot at all. I had to wait for the story to unfold inside of me.

I am beginning to believe, about myself, that the more I think about something - I will eventually figure it out. This deep and profound thought is a form of meditation known as contemplation meditation. I realize now, I have used this valuable tool a lot in my writing.

And then once I start to see a clear picture of my plot, the process becomes very emotional, sometimes I actually cry. I don’t know if these are tears of joy or relief for having finally seen my story inside my mind.

I have started calling this process the “unfoldment.”

This morning, just this morning, I saw the unfoldment of Sacred Hearts in my mind. And yes, it brought me to tears.

Have an awesome day everyone.
