How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

Subject EC:GA 4-Mira:

…is still getting used to Leo, unsure of what it is he actually does.

…adores Abraham and clings to him as the father she’s never had.

…feels sorry for Giovanni and realizes that in order to help him, she needs to stop.

…is terrified of Bletsian, if he actually exists. She’s not fully convinced that he isn’t some story Giovanni tells just to scare her.

How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

…wants to hate Bletsian but he can’t. He can’t hate something that’s part of him.

…doesn’t like that Leo doesn’t trust him and hopes that will someday change.

…loves Abraham more than anyone in the whole world.

…wishes and imagines there might be a place in Mira’s life for him. He’d like a chance to try to love her.

EC: Giovanni's Angel Tea & Conversation

Tea and Conversation 15: Prayer

Today I’m sharing a picture of “Morning Coffee” art print by mindymcpeak I posted on my tea pin board.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Eternal Curse and I’m writing about: Why prayer?

In case you didn’t know, my ECS is about the intermingling of humans with angels and demons. Maybe I’m just not cool enough for the “in” crowd, but it irritates me when people complain about the one prayer that appears in my story. All religions aside, unless I’m missing something, how else would someone who believes in a god communicate with it, if not through prayer?

Yes, this is a highly spiritual story and most of the ideas are based on Christian theology, but I’m not writing a parable. This isn’t a bible story and no one is being converted. Why is this so difficult for people to grasp?

Let’s take into consideration characters like Marvel’s Nightcrawler. This character is a Roman Catholic and isn’t quiet about it, yet he still has a huge following. Then there are other character that are associated with Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and other gods, to which prayer is needed in order to bring forth their powers. Oh and what about that show, Supernatural? Those Winchester boys aren’t exactly saints, but every time they get into a bind, they pray to Castiel and he comes running to their aid.

Maybe it’s not prayer that people have a problem with; perhaps it’s the idea of being associated with a particular religion. In any case, the prayer fits into this story; it belongs there and I’m holding firm to my decision to include it. Also, I won’t back down from including others down the road if they too fit into the story.
