I just recently finished the 1st draft of one of the chapters that I am calling Pulse. The title is explained in the chapter (somewhat). What happens to the characters in this chapter is actually the basis for my ideas of the book. I think I came up with what happens here before anything else. It all started with a dream and eventually made it's way onto about 3 pages that I had been fully proud of and excited for... So I'm happy to say that Pulse, the genesis chapter of the entire Matter Unorganized idea is finished, and I am glad to move on and work on some of the other passages that will help lead up to it.

Hey, What's this all about anyway?
So I realize that most of you have no idea what the book is even going to be about... so let me take you in to a little of what goes through my mind. We know that God is perfect and that his plan for us is unshakable. Everything that happens to us in this life is somewhat structured in a way that order can prevail because God is responsible for holding it all together, so we can make it through. But for the sake of imagination, and for the book, I imagined that the World was not created by God, but Gods (plural) and that things are not in perfect order in the realm beyond our own. The ultimate themes of the plot revolve around the idea that this life is only one that can prepare us for the next steps of our existence, but in ways that we would not have though (I won't spoil the detail). Also, one of the main ideas that I want to incorporate is, if these Gods are no longer in complete control and there is no longer any order to the world or realm in which they find themselves... then what happens to us here? If we contemplate the idea that God was not perfect (which thankfully he is) then what would that mean for us?
Anyway, I won't say too much... but do know that the book is going to follow several characters, on both sides of the veil, and that the hope for all of creation to survive will rely on whether or not the physical worlds and the spiritual worlds are truly able to become one.
Hope you like the idea. Know that though the main structure of the storyline does not follow in my ideals and beliefs completely (even far from it at some points) that there will be principles that are important to me that will definitely be included in the final draft.
Alright... see ya.
