“I don’t believe in the supernatural.”

I have been saying this to myself for years now. When my father dragged me to places that made my skin crawl. When I saw people swallow knives and live animals, dance on burning charcoal, eyes turning, I still kept the mantra, “I don’t believe in the supernatural.” Even when I was told that my destiny was to be a “Mambo”, a voodoo priestess, I scoffed and kept thinking: This old people talking, backward people, I am a well educated, catholic girl, I don’t believe I that crap. At the age of 28, up until three days ago, I still kept my mantra, I still thought, that all the hocus pocus of the voodoo religion was just tales. Up until three days ago, I didn’t believe in another world other than our own. There was no Lwa, no Loup-garou, no Veven, and no talking ghost and there was certainly no supernatural creature. My dreams were no premonitions, no doorway to another world. I could see people before their death. Up until three days ago, my sweet god-mother was still alive. Up until three days ago …I was sane….or was I ever…

Testing the limits

I finally came up with an idea for my "First Book". So I have written stories before. I have at least two great manuscript, in French, but it's not the first time that I have written a story. I have a prologue written and a nice two liner of a first chapter. I don't really know where the story is going, but it doen't make me too nervous. If memory serves me well, I never know where the story is going. When I do,I juust screw it up - perfect example of this, my Clark and Chloe story on Fanfiction "Worth the Wait" - I had plan it to be 10 chapters where Clark and Chloe reconnect and realize they were idiots for not trying to make things work between them eons ago, instead, I completed an posted chapter 10 5 months ago, have rewritten chapter 11 - 7 TIMES!! and still no end in site. I just don't know how to plan and follow thru a predetermined story line. This might be a hurdle for me as a writer. So I hope myself all the luck in to the world because ..I am going to need it
