Making time to work on my 2nd novel "Bodies In Motion". I didn't get as much done on this project as I would have liked last year. I took some big risks and made some big maneuvers, accomplished some major transitions. But I am happy to remind myself that when I started this project, to accompany me on this journey I started trucking five years ago, I didn't know anything about the plot or the characters. All I knew was the heart of the story, the foundational premise. Now I know exactly what happens to who, and my task is to be diligent in sitting down and articulating all of the details and contours.
.
I am fascinated by the concept we seem to share across cultures of guardian angels. Some people believe our guardian angels are our previous ancestors watching over us. I have come to believe that when we think of the spirits of these people caring for us, we become the guardian angels looking out for our ancestors, so that they could survive, so that we could be. So the story I am writing is about the main character and The constellation of guardian spirits that attend her life. Because of the times in which she lives her life is very very long, so that she is able to be present as a guardian spirit in the lives of her great great grandchildren.
