Was up early. Still editing project iS. Americans who sinned still shipping the Liew witches to Asians. They had downfallen one another and are looking for someone to pin the tail on. Which currently is me.
Need to get 3 1/2 chapters edited today, by afternoon. Am gassy due to pushing from my folks who were attacked by the Liew witches. Proxy revenge for trying to fry them yesterday. It seems sin will continue to breed. Some Christians, less armored, were just hacked down. But the reason for hating us is still unspoken, unshared. Now approaching chapter 15, where I’ll rest for today. There was a lot to alter in 13. Trying tho, to maintain a high word / page count. 100 pages would be best. Now 97.
Ate some durian for breakfast. Digging into chapter 15 now. I will leave the remaining 5 chapters which make up Act 3 -the payoff section, for tonight.
No luck getting cleaned this morning. Just very gassy. Charging my keyboard and mouse for an hour before I wrap up editing chp15. Meanwhile watch some YouTube videos on writing.
Found out my project iS is classified as “Upmarket Fiction”, as I was informed, by Alyssa Matesic’s video, she’s a former editor. Upmarket just means it appeals to students, teachers, and the discussions they have in book clubs. It is not a read and throw away novel, but seeks to debate at the expense of commercial or literary greatness. Most of my fiction is upmarket in that way, I guess…
Was finally able to get cleaned. I was dehydrated and as mentioned, full of gas. Showered and changed into fresh clothes. Later, household chores but for now, am relaxing in air conditioning. Will bite into chp16 soon. Just tied up a few loose ends in Act 3 started in Act 1. Think polishing the payoffs will take all evening-night.
Swept and will mop at 4pm. Mom is making steamed ginger chicken for dinner. Feels good to live in cleanliness. Taking a good rest. Usually, Dad does half the mopping for his exercise so it’s easier for me. Watching videos again, of how to edit a novel.
Was thinking of the Revelations beast again, and how at the end, there is an 8th horn and 10 kings who rule for 1 hour or 1/2 hour with the beast who is the 8th horn. This beast was, is not, and is yet to come. Is it of alien origin? My charts seem to point to alien contact close to the end of the 70th week. Jesus and the saints defeat the beast from the abyss, restoring God’s rule of love on earth. Supposedly, this is in 2030.
I think chp16-20 should be richer in innuendo. And that innuendo points towards the whole east-west mistrust. Young again Seth, Saim and mutant Tasha must also have more of a role to play in the closing act tho we-know-who kills them eventually. A lot to weave in, gently as possible so it seems natural.
…
Had roast chicken with Greek herbs for dinner. Now almost 9pm and I haven’t started editing much of Act 3. Will try to have a go at 9:30 as most of the Liew witchy force is elsewhere, disturbing people in love.
Found out “upmarket” means something that appeals to the wealthy (maybe also smart?) and I wonder if iS has this effect.
