I've been thinking about my elf girl stories, which I am tentatively calling the Elf Girl Chronicles. Here is the information I've gathered so far. The Elf People lived in Lemuria and were destroyed and enslaved during Atlantean times. A curse was put on them by the Sons of Belial. Actually it was unholy triune of three evil forces, Satan, an Anti-Christ Figure and the Sons of Belial. This makes sense because to defeat the triune godhead of father, son and holy spirit, you need a triune of evil as well. Satan is the god, the anti-christ is the son, and the sons of belial are the holy spirit.

The Elf People lived on the coast next to the Mer People, which makes sense because the Mer people were also cursed. Whatever happened during Atlantean times when all the non-human creatures were destroyed, it was the Elf People and Mer people that were cursed, probably because they aligned themselves since their kingdoms were next to the each other.

But the Elf People knew what was to happen to them, since they had the gift of prophecy, so they set up special schools for the children who would carry on the culture if the adult elves were destroyed. What the Elf People miscalculated was the totality of the curse. They had thought that the children would be spared, but they were wrong.

In this one school, where my elf girl character is attending, there are three teachers. Peetay - a historian, Talluk - a scribe and Rojay - a time keeper. There are other children from the different non-human races attending, but the school is predominantly Elf. One of the teacher is from the Delvic community. Her name is Flota and she is a deva of flowers. Flota teaches how to talk to flowers and gain their knowledge. It is from Flota's world that we now are able to use flower essences as herbal medicine.

The Elf people differ from the human people because they have a 12-strand DNA instead of the human 2-strand DNA. The 12-strand DNA gives the elf people the following qualities; 1) the ability to have visions or clairvoyance 2) the ability to hear prophecy which is clairaudience 3) the ability to know without knowing which is claircognizance 4) the ability to sense psychic vibration in the body or clairsentience and 5) the ability to channel. I'm sure there are more abilities that elf people have, I just have to think about it some more.

The Elf people are short, about 5 ft 7in is the tallest height. Their torsos are shaped differently than humans. Their rib cage goes all around to their back and they have an extra bone on the sides of their body, making their skeletal structure different from that of humans.

I don't have the notes on the curse that destroyed the Elf People's cultures and enslaved them, but I will write them out soon. Suffice it is to say that the curse was of an incredible magnitude. The curse had several layers, most of which had to do prevent the elf people from banding together to fight against their own enslavement. There was no national unity, no financial or property rights and there was also a rupture in the light body template, so when an elf did die, they would not know how to reincarnate back into their original form. It's as if the the curse, by destroying the upper half of the light body template, made an elf forget what he or she looked like. The curse entailed that a human DNA chain be inserted over the elf dna chain, so when an elf reincarnated back into the body, the top half would be human and the bottom half of their light body template would be elf. The reality was that the elf would reincarnate into a human form but would have numerous health problems due to the overlay of the human dna onto of the elf dna. The elf would be human, but still retain some of the elf physical characteristics. Some of the talents like clairaudience and clairsentience would be present in the elf, but with no memory or knowledge of how to use them.

I think the elf girl chronicles will take at least 5 years to write. It's so hard to create a new world. Everything in the world has to be thought of at least explained in physical as well as emotional and spiritual terms. I need to work backwards I think and work on the curse first. The magnitude fo the curse will tell me alot about the Elf People culture.

I did some work with my baseball character Jimmy, and I think I kind of like him. Is that incestous of me? I mean, I'm his creator and all, so in a way I'm like his mummy, so can I be attracted to him? I sort of like that I created a male character that I wouldn't mind having a flingie with. I guess that's better than having a male character you don't really like, although I think at some point in my writing career I will have to create absolutely evil characters that I detest.

My Jimmy guy, is 6 ft 4 in, has brown eyes and is freckled with reddish blonde hair. God, I guess I had to work my current obsession for red haired men into this screenplay somehow. He's a guy-guy, he's very straight forward, shoots from the hip, pretty much says what's on his mind and is huge damned flirt. He doesn't like his women too thin, instead prefering women who are shapely with a nice rack. Jimmy like his women with long hair and he wants them to be soft spoken,. sweet and intelligent and even a little spunky. He's not like alot of guys I meet in the SF Bay Area. Jimmy excudes major masculine energy and he doesn't try to temper himself by being politically correct, in fact he's way not. He's media savvy but we were talking in private so he kind of let loose with what he was saying. He's a guy-guy. He likes women to be women and men to be men and he won't feminize himself for anyone. If people don't like him, he doesn't really care. I think he's secure enough in himself to know that sometimes people talk nonsense and it's not about him.

I asked him what he thought of me and he said I was little too intellectual for his taste but that I was really cute. Thanks Jimmy. He's the kind of guy who goes to strip clubs to have a good time and to drink beer and hang out with the fellas. He was kind of wild in college, but then he settled down and he's been faithful to his wife ever since. He's very secure in his masculinity and kind of likes the fact that other men may find him attractive. He said the guy thing just doesn't do anything for him physically, but then Jimmy admitted that in the back of his mind he sometimes thinks that being with another man might be easier, only because he doesn't understand women very much. All he knows is women like him, but he's kind of clueless as to how a woman thinks.

He knows he has problems with his temper but he says that he doesn't mean to pick fights with the guys on the baseball team. They just don't know when to stop sometimes and he's got to teach them a lesson; especially the young punks on the team.

Jimmy says his brother Michael, who's also in my screenplay, has lived in San Francisco for too long. Michael is in this own male awareness group where they take turns talking with some kind of stick and reaffirm their masculinity or some shit like that. Jimmy said that if Michael needs to reaffirm that he's a man, he should get himself over to a strip club. He hatest that Michael talks like his wife Elise, with all that psycho babble mumbo jumbo talk, but that Mchael's a great guy anyway. Jimmy says he's glad he left San Francisco when he did, otherwise he'd end up as some tree hugger passing some stupid talking stick around every week.

Jimmy likes Van Halen and Motley Crue, although he's now into this song he heard on the radio driving called "Man in a Box" by Alice in Chains. He says he feels like he's a man in a box sometimes and can relate to the song lyrics, plus the song has some great guitar riffs.

I think I need to more character work on Jimmy and find out if he has any secrets, which I'm sure he does. He's a charming kind of guy, so he seems to very good at dodging questions. Then I think I need to do some character work on the Dad character, the wife, and the brother Michael, maybe even the mom. I might just do a little work on Michael wife and the three kids.

It's kind of fun to do character work because then the characters have voices and personalities and they flirt with you, well Jimmy did anyway. But then, I kind of see him as sort of ladies' man anyway. He's a ball player and he's got game, so he's had women hanging all over him all his life. I guess I was just one more. Better yet, I'm the woman telling the story of part of his life. What more could a fictional guy-guy character want?

I saw my friend Marilyn tonight. I haven't seen her since my friend Amy died. I only got to know Marilyn because of Amy, and now that she's dead, I don't really see or hear about Marilyn and her husband very much.

I decided tonight that sometimes I'm so resistant to my life, that my soul partner could probably be sitting right next to me and I'd never know it. Like what if he's not like what you pictured. Amy used to have such a big thing about not wanting to get involved with a man who was low on the evolutionary scale. I used to think she was full of it, but what if she was right. I was talking to this guy I used to have a serious crush on. It's been a long time so I'm over my crush and now we're just friends. Right in the middle of talking to this guy, I realize that this guy is really not smart and not that cultured either. God, that freaked me out because I'd always thought of him as this sophisticated and cultured guy and now I found out that he only seems that way to impress people. It was so shocking. I felt physicall revulsed. The guy likes the symphony because he thought it was a good way to meet a network of people. He didn't like it because he wanted to listen to great classical music plaid live, but for this totally opportunitistic reason.

I can't imagine liking something like art for any other reason than you liked the art. The same thing goes for music, theatre and the opera. It's shocking to think that peope would like this stuff because it's the the thing to do, or to meet people or be snobby or some shit reason like that.

I think it's so unevolved to like a creative thing for any other reason other than the love of the creative thing. But who am I to know what's evolved and what's not evolved? I guess I was just so shocked by this man's admission. You never know about people until you really start to interview them about issues. God, then you find out and you spend the rest of the conversation wishing they hadn't told you their true opinions.

I'm bored with my screenplay. I'm half way through writing it and I just want to finish it and get it over with. I like it but I don't think anyone else will and you know what, I don't care. My baseball son story had to get out and I'm glad it's in a cinematic form, instead of a short story. I just hope I do justice to my Jimmy character. I hope at the end of the screenplay he finds peace when his father dies. He's lucky too, because I'm letting him have peace with his father before he dies. I never got to do that with my dad. Funny thing is, part of me now knows it doesn't make a difference whether you make peace with your parent before they die or years after. The main thing is to make the peace.

Maybe that's the lesson of this story. For years I kept thinking if I had only made peace with my father before he died, maybe my life would have been really different. I now know that I was just making an excuse for not taking charge of my own life. I did make peace with my father's death eventually, but not till three years later and I guess it's still not resolved because here I am still writing about a child and dying father.

I really want to finish my S&M novel, Following in the Dark, and my play, Bare Trees in Winter. These two stories will be my summer projects. Then I want to write my children's story, Missy Dreams of Ducka.

Only then will I be to start working my Elf Girl stories. Dare I take on writing a JRR Tolkien type of story? My stories will be aimed for children 12 - 15, so they will be much simpler. I see them as cross between the Harry Potter stories and the JRR Tolkien stories.

I think to get the right amount of detail, I'm going to have read all the JRR Tolkien stuff, especially his 12 books about middle earth. The Elf Girl stories will not be a quick project, but will probably take years. God, how do you imagine a world like that? Where Elf People have 12-strand DNA instead of 2-strand DNA? How do you imagine a war between the human race and the rest of the creatures that inhabited the earth in Lemurian and Atlantean times?

The crux of the stories will be the school the Elf Girl goes to, along with all the children of non-humans, to develop their powers. The battle scenes will also be important because the Elf Girl will lead the non-human creatures against the humans. And then there's the scenes of her capture and torture by the humans and the humans wiping out the elf kingdom, the fairy kingdom, the wee people kingdom, the dwarf kingdom, the mer people kindgom and the rest of the fantastical creatures of the earth. And how do I depict the human cursing the other races so when they do reincarnate, they always reincarnate as humans? And I forgot, before they curse them and turn everyone into subhumans, they enslave them and use their powers for evil and cause the pole shift, which wipes out all the last remaining traces of the kingdoms of the fantastical races.

I'm just beginnig to get the inklings of these stories, but as long as I have all these other stories unwritten, I cannot start on my new stuff.
