I’ve been collating material for the second edition of ‘Testimony’ and I’m pretty comfortable with everything I’ve gathered, I just need to make sure the arc of the story remains true to what I envisaged, plus there needs to be a chunk of editing done to tighten it up. My process is genuinely to chuck everything in and cut away the irrelevant, later. Irrelevant meaning irrelevant to the overall story. Does anyone need to know about the time I went to watch a channeller who claimed to be channelling some entity from the Pleiades, and prior to the actual channelling I was given the equivalent of a school dinner: mash, peas and fish fingers. I am sure it was a heartfelt gesture, but it just felt weird at the time. Maybe I’ll blog about it in the future.
I don’t blog here that often as the time I am blogging, is time away from researching and writing. Time is very precious, and having to deal with all the usual stuff life throws at us, I find that the creative process needs regular time and attention.
The struggle that I am dealing with at the moment, is how dark do I make this? Because in reality, the story in its entirety is pretty dark. I will be true to the information, but I don’t want anyone going away feeling totally dejected, depressed or despondant. But the abduction phenomena is pretty dark when you step back and look at the whole picture. And that’s what I have attempted to do here. To step back, and pull all the strands together which shows us just what we’re dealing with. Plus, I always believe that it is darkest before the dawn. That when you get a sense of the totality of a situation, you can do something about it. You can move forward with a plan.
Anyway, there’s some editing to do. A lot of it! So that’s me for a short while, and I’ll check back in with an update soon.
For those that haven’t purchased it, Testimony Volume 1: Alien Abduction in the UK is still available at Amazon.
