My reading of the first chapter of Disraeli Hall is done and dusted and with my young publisher, through the wonders of technology - and it has been pronounced OK.
Lesson learnt? If I write another novel, I will make the first chapter very short.
The Press Release is almost written, with all 3 of us struggling over it - but it still needs some work. Its surprisingly difficult. So far it suggests suspense and scare, which I hope it has. But D.Hall is also quite funny. I am hoping it will make my readers laugh as well. And I haven't yet found a way to convey that. Or is it better not conveyed? Perhaps it could (hopefully) be a nice surprise?
Well, more work today. Plus the Waitrose Order to do.
It is still very close - very humid - and there were thunderstorms and flooding in the South last night. Apparently parts of the London Underground flooded! We seem to have had our rain yesterday, minus the thunder and lightning.
The weather is strange the world over, and as for the "increasing of lawlessness" worldwide, I hardly know where to start. A young girl was raped in broad daylight while she was in the sea here on the South Coast, while both sea and beach were crowded. I have never heard of nor imagined such a thing happening before. The attacker has not been caught. And a South African fb friend has been posting about the troubles there, the rioting and looting, and is desperate to get to a more peaceful country.
The thing is though that the current wicked system of things on the earth is going to be destroyed as completely as the wicked society of Noah's day was. And Jesus himself compared the days we are living in now to the days of Noah, which too was a time the earth became filled with violence.
"For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." - Matthew 24:37-39
Jehovah acted then. He will act now. And this time it will be a lasting deliverance. Please please take note.
