I really stepped away from writing in July 2018 when I carried
on the paternal legacy of having an early age hemorrhagic
stroke. In my early 40's, I just couldn't envision life after
50. I was puzzled by this cos I could always see odd-ball
elements of life happening. But not this time. It just wasn't meant for me to see
it —
my stroke at 45. Then shingles at 48. I'm pushing 50 now so
life has my attention right now. Add to my current awareness,
people say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hmm....
Dare I ask what's next?
in
October 2022 without having prior social media experience. While
I'm there in search of the world events not censored by main
stream media, I'm also there for the funny meme shit people share.
I'm right there with them! I'm absolutely fluent in speaking shit
and sparring with other unique minds! In that, I've met a few people
who have earned their way into my inner circle of friends,
particularly Chris. A meme or a comment was passed along that opened the
door to communication with him which led to sparking the
memories, thoughts and opinions to returning to writing the
novella I started writing kinda shortly before the stroke.
Chris later said something that he or I needed to hear. From
this interaction, I secured the domain names for AzaLebon.com
and AzaLebonGraphX.com.
What's this, you wonder? I'm also an artist currently into card
crafting, a useful tool in occupational therapy in my recovery.
I do sell cards, usually at Christmas time. I'm getting ready to
launch my graphx website and tie it all in together with a pretty
bow.
There is a bit more to this story or saga - whichever you'd
choose to call it....

It was whatever that something was that prompted me to
secure the domain names to propel me into my comfy, nerdy
world to restart my visualistic endevours once again.
While I am artist in my own right, pictures I'm using are
mostly swiped from
Pinterest.
The artist will be credited when I can find their names — or
at least the picture's location!
My Writing Style
In an email response to Chris, I wrote this & learned so
much from it; about myself and about what I'm writing and which
direction the story is taking. Yes — It's styled somewhere
between
Quentin Terantino,
Stephen King and
James Wan. No — it will
not be non-violent or easy on the mind.
Chris—
Whatever I focus on and write about is basically successfully
herding cats or getting ducks in a row. It’s never easy and
takes a while. Meanwhile, in the back of my mind, my brain is
processing how to filter in data, assess what to make of it,
filter that data and pigeon hole it, move to things to remember
list, things to start and/or stop doing. I may not have ended up
as a computer programmer after that trade school but it did
reset my brain to become a computer with a road map. Sometimes I
need to mentally 4 wheel through data, thoughts, feelings (I
HATE that word but what other word could I use? My brain will
come up with something.)
In the searching for what’s going on in my head, visualizing it
in however I do processes the who, where, why and hows. That’s
where I start writing. If I were watching a movie, what would I
see? What am I to focus on first? My book for example; The cop
finds the just about dead gal and calls for an ambulance that rushes her
a hospital. She seems
familiar but he can’t place it. All the open ends I’m leaving is
basically a rip in her, his and a few others’ time lines. All
those characters
will need to look within.
I’ll be going over what I’ve written as a screenplay so to speak
and then adding the book elements. I’ll be building up the
tension, distractions, emotions and fears. I’m ultimately each
character. Their responses would be how I would address it,
right or wrong. Then I need to sort out the backlash to these
characters and my responses to them. There’ll be a few rabbit
holes cos that’s how my mind works.
Aza became so important suddenly that I secured website domain
names and set up accounts everywhere with Aza’s name. Since I am
her personified, she is me, the HitBunny and Yellowstone’s Beth.
The Rabid Jackals will present themselves in time. My dog’s
strength and character will be shown as my guardians. Maybe in
dog form, maybe in angel form. Not sure yet. Maybe in
shapeshifting form. I’m a shapeshifter. It’s all about energy
and how you manipulate it. My friends have lost me in very small
crowds cos my mood changed dramatically. One friend freaked out
cos we were at some big event in LA and she was scared to be by
herself. I was 4 feet away, no longer wanting to be there
anymore. It was some human rights gala my friend had tickets
for. I got to see Sing’s wife right next to me then I passed by
Bruce Springsteen. All I remember was hell! I’m taller than him!
I’m 5’ 6.5” and shrinking. I wasn’t wearing high heeled shoes.
So back to what I was saying – visualizing
what’s going on represents the physical. Describing things in
emotional or descriptive detail sets the emotional spectrum.
In discovering what I’m conveying is ultimately my brain
filtering through the data to see what I have left that can’t
filter for reason X. That’s where I learn what I need to
process. Is it simple or is
it a sticky wicket? Of Blood and Swine is definitely a sticky
wicket: My blood and all the people involved are the swine –
their lies, their attempts to escape karmic justice. The briar
patches they’re trying to flee is where the story lies. The who,
where, why and hows filter the data within. The ultimate feat is
to escape the story as well. It’ll lead me to who and what I
forgive and why? (I THINK I have to forgive myself but I’m
seriously resisting.)
This will be why Aza loses each of her 6 senses. She has to
filter all this objectively. That means she has to step outside
of herself and see it all as someone else with no horse in the
race would see it. That’s why her (my) Jane Doe name will eventually be named
Possum – half the time, no one knows if she’s dead or alive. She
also has no finger prints. The police have to give up. The cop,
Cai Bartholomew, continues on in his search because he needs to
know who she is and why she’s so familiar.
The wife that’s referenced thus far… Cai’s a widow. Wife’s
spirit is very strong. Cai will figure out wife’s spirit is
incarnated as Aza. She’s there to wrap up his loose ends and let
her (wife) go to where she needs to go. Why is he selfishly
hanging on? Afraid to be alone? (When my dad was dying, he
expected mom to die with him and when she said no, that hold was
gone and he died within a day or two of that.)
This being such a complex story, it’s going to take time in
sorting it out, outlining it, writing scenes in screenplay
sections, assembling what I see then fleshing it out in book
form.
Yes – writing is my healing. It forces me to slow down and
articulate what I need to see, know and do. Being run over
actually supercharged my brain and abilities. Work stress led me
down the bad road that ultimately tried to kill me. I fought the
devil in a way and lived to tell the tail. The body however… it
took a serious beating – reminds me of the maulings you see pit
bills are notorious for. Recovery is slow cos of the spasticity.
Working on it seems to only make it worse. But that changes at
all different times.
I’m feeling more nerves generating. They hurt like hell in the
beginning. Meds either work or don’t. Or sometimes for a while
then I have to switch off. Some meds almost immediately made me
think of slitting my own throat, no emotion attached.
I like the ghoulish scenes in intense battles. When I describe
things in ghoulish form, the physical represents the emotions I
either feel or don’t.
In the end, these battles that are fought move me up the ladder
and closer to God.
I can’t remember the meme that started it. that tells me I saw
what I was supposed to see, recognize it as a sign for me. I
took it to heart. When I’ve worked as a psychic medium and
relayed messages, any message I gave that was HEARD by the
person asking – I had absolutely no memory of it. When the
messages were not accepted for some reason, I remembered them
for days til I flushed my mental thoughts terlit. I won’t hold
onto other people’s energy for very long.
Silas Toball
When it’s time to jump start my
creative juices again, just tell yourself to find a picture I
need to see. Keep your eyes open and be aware of what is going
on in the world and what you see, especially on Twitter with its
memes. All this has told me I need to document a couple memories
of signs I asked for. I will. I’ll have to see how and where to
put that.
Lastly, being a realist, I never look for the positivity in the
world. When I’m met to see it, it’ll get right in my face.
Somehow that was you. No need for me to question it other than
why it was you of all people? What caused our energy to
intersect? Like attracts like so there is something there. Is
there anything I’ve said or written that you identified as
something you needed to hear for yourself?
If we people feed on others’ energy, is my energy nourishing you
in some way? Or am I a bag of Oreos?
Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it. Always go for the light. I
say this, knowing I need to hear it, too.
