Notes - fiction / Pouch 6 draft completed / work on Dead 6 ?

         Paul’s flight to the Arizona conference was cancelled so Kim and the boys won’t be down until tomorrow. You have a lawn to mow and topsoil and grass to plant. Later. – Amorella

         1004 hours. I just mailed letters and bought the topsoil, time to go mow.

         1129 hours. Most of the front and sides is mowed. I have about ten feet on the north front to go but at least it is in the shade and I have the back southwest rectangle. So, I am taking a break. Late afternoon or early evening I’ll rake the topsoil into place where one of the trees was taken out and scatter the grass seed.

         With Carol’s help you have mowed most of the grass, all of the seeable grass from the street. You had a short talk with Amy next door about your book; she was more struck by the fact you consider yourself mostly fiction. Here is what did much of the convincing that there is some truth to it – when you felt I was a real Angel this was a major existential moment in your life because from your perspective (imaginary or not) being face to face so to speak with an Angel within your heartansoulanmind the inner light out does not recognize what is not real from its perspective and you could also see there is not much to you so you assume most everything else is fiction, made up for cultural and survival purposes. With an Angel nearby survival is no longer a necessity, thus all that armor, the persona, etc. drops away. The essence left is the human spirit dressed pretty much naked. Do you agree, boy? – Amorella

         1308 hours. You explain it much better than I can, but what you say is how I feel about the fiction and the essence that is left. How can I further fictionalize this in the story though?

         Later, post. - Amorella


        You had a late lunch at Smashburgers and Carol is now in Kroger’s picking up essentials for tomorrow. Lets go to Pouch Six. – Amorella

         1634 hours. I have completed the first full draft of Pouch 6, book two in 764 words. 

         Now we are going to take a break and if you come back to this tonight we will work on Dead Six for a change of pace. Post, - Amorella
