Do you believe in "pre-incarnation"?





Do you believe in "pre-incarnation"?
This is one of the most inventive manuscripts I have ever edited. Moreover, it is beautifully written, with strong verbs and wonderfully creative descriptions. The characters are strong -- even the minor characters, such as The Old One. The inner dialogue of the two main characters is revealing, and shows real emotional growth of both of them throughout this book.
 
I think what I liked most about this manuscript is that it calls on the reader to truly think about the possibility -- no, likelihood -- that reincarnation (and perhaps "pre-incarnation" actually exist. This is a fascinating story, beautifully told. It has"best-seller" written all over it.

Do you believe in second chances?

Returning Souls begins with 60-something Evie D'Arico laying on the kitchen floor unable to move a muscle, though she sees and feels everything around her. She rises above the world through a dimension of color, horizon, and stars coming to rest in a primordial forest of fragrant trees and neon green moss. A place from memory. The life of a person she used to be. 

Jumping to her feet, she waits for the familiar neck pain and stiff knees. Instead, a lithe body moves with animal grace and stealth. A garment fashioned from supple hide is smooth against her skin. Massive trees with shaggy bark of russet brown shelter her. What is this place?

An overriding thought shatters the reverie: Move quietly! Do not even breathe. Listen before you move. Make sure you are alone.

She is a long way from home.

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, ...
