Samhain Winter Moon
After a time devoted first to getting Missing ready for the copy editor and a time after that focused on my new translating method, I have returned again to Loki’s Children. Still in the research phase, still learning and organizing material. Ready to use Dramatica to start the run-up to actual writing.
(Loki strikes Þjazi with a rod in this picture from an 18th-century Icelandic manuscript)
Right now I’m trying to grasp the Loki figure, his ambiguous, malevolent character; his leading role in the things to come. How to present him. Then, how he drags the other characters, already established, into his field, challenging them with the world’s destruction.
The weather and the season are conducive to time focused on the inner world, just right for this phase of work.
