Free writing about my past life memory with Elf Man which I am structuring into a novel. For now, my novel is tentatively titled "After the battle between Atlantis and Lemuria". Not the cleverest of titles, but it reminds me of the past life memory that I am drawing on to write this story.
I was thinking of writing the story from the female character's point of view, but this is what I am getting in a free write on this topic.
"I can see four parts and this story told in different points of view. But I like her writing it first, and then maybe to get his point of view in, she will find his journals and include the parts of his diary that he left. She will cry a little because he only wrote about what she didn’t know about as if he knew that she would be left alive and recording their lives. She sees a note to this affect and reflects that she knew how much he loved her, but she is always surprised by the depths of his love and what he sacrificed for her. She loved him but she knows deep down she did not love him as deeply as he probably loved her. He writes that she was the joy that he was promised as a boy when he took up the magical arts, a joy that came late in his life and one that he knew would come with a price. A price that he knew he would gladly have paid over and over again. Their years together had been his joy, his only joy, in his dark life."
I was sobbing when I wrote this - past life memories should never hurt this much....
