Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 6.4 (wip)

Mira inched her way even closer to Giovanni. She was now standing toe to toe with him. She looked up into his eyes and he looked down into hers without any struggle. It was easy, almost nice, for him to look into her eyes. There was, again, a small tear beginning to develop in Giovanni’s right eye. Mira slowly reached up to catch it with her finger and Giovanni flinched. Mira stretched up on her tiptoes and reached out her neck, getting even closer to Giovanni’s face. She closed her eyes, pressed her lips together, and raised her hands and arms up and around Giovanni’s neck. At that moment, Giovanni slowly wrapped his arms around her waist without even realizing what he was doing.

Taking a deep breath and feeling jittery on the inside, Mira walked over to the computer, booted it up, and printed out her report. She carefully began to read the report. It was very thorough. Everything was compiled in summary and broken down into detail with charts and graphs. It was all there in front of her, Giovanni’s entire genetic history and make-up. Mira couldn’t believe it. As she stared closely at the document in front of her, Giovanni begin to feel a sensation of relief, along with a little bit of dread. He knew what Mira was feeling; he knew she’d realized that he wasn’t a liar or a fake. She knew that he was truly something unique, so much so that it was, in fact, a little frightening.

EC: Giovanni's Angel Tea & Conversation

Tea and Conversation 13: Journals

teaNtalk

Today I’m sharing a picture of a blue and white floral tea-cup and journal I posted on my tea pin board.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about the Eternal Curse Series, and I’m writing about: Why journals?

The idea and the process of writing a journal quickly becomes an important theme in my Eternal Curse Series, but it’s a bit ironic because in my whole life, I’ve never consistently kept a journal or diary of my own. After reading the first book in this series (the second is still pending release) readers are able to figure out that at some point, someone reads of Giovanni’s life story through the journals he’s left behind. This becomes very important in the second book and will then be elaborated on in the third. Originally I used the idea of journaling as an easy way to explain where all this information came from, but that idea soon evolved into something else.

The idea of keeping a journal, of being able to tell a story from your own point of view, has always interested me, but I’ve never wanted to tell my own story. It’s not very interesting. I guess that’s why the only journal I’ve ever been able to keep is a writing journal, filled with ideas, notes, and short stories.

If I think of myself as a character in a story, maybe I could write my own story, but again, I’m just not that interesting. In any case, I do think that keeping a journal is important. Even my writing journal can surely tell you a lot about me. From reading it, I imagine that people could see just how disturbed I am about so many things in this world. People could get a glimpse of my odd sense of humor and see just how much rage I have inside me all the time. People would also be able to see the compassion within me and see that I cling to a belief system that they may not clearly understand, but will realize that it’s a part of who I am.

I think a good journal can tell you more about a person than their own DNA, and I try to capture that in my writing.
