i can't belive how fast this week is going by, i am behind already. do you know what it is like to be in a writing slump? no where for the characters to go, and then (cue the music) billy brings the light! :) no just kidding, yesterday as i was in bed, not feeling well again i had an idea, and i know where they are to go. it came to me with a symbol, a symbol you say, yes a symbol.
it is the same one i have tattooed on my wrist, some may know it, it is the triskele, here is a little info on it for you
The History and Meaning of the Celtic Triskele SymbolAlso Triple Goddess, Triple Spiral
by Gaelyn LarrickThe Triskele symbol, or triple spiral - three spirals radiating from a common center - is one of the most popular, and ancient symbols of our time. It has been found in the traditional form, or slight variations, in a number of cultures throughout the world. Greece, the Hopi of North America, and in pre-Columbian artifacts in Central America.The earliest Celtic Triskele was found in the ruins of a Bronze Age temple in Ireland, and is believed by some scholars to have evolved from the triskellion, which looks like three legs from a common center.The triskele has also come to be associated with the Triple Goddess going back to pre-Christian times, but has also been found in illuminated Manuscripts created by early Christian monks. The Triple Goddess symbolism, maiden-mother-crone, is also represented as a moon in three phases.Judging from early Celtic symbols, the Celts gave great significance to things coming in threes: earth, water, sky; body, mind, spirit; birth, death, rebirth, past, present, future; these all have been attributed to the Celtic symbols with three elements. Some of our modern interpretations of the meaning of the triskele are that it symbolizes the cycles of life in one form or another.Because the triskele is often drawn using one continuous line, it has come to represent the unending and continuous movement of life.The spiral has always captivated our imagination, the triskele with its three spirals remains among the most popular Celtic symbols probably for the same reason.

for me it represents lots of things, and for some reason it really resonates with me. well, anyways, i saw this in my head, and then the ideas just started comming. i have yet to write them down, time not being what i want it to be and all.
so i just thought i would let the collective "you" know that i am working on the story and more will come, i will probably move it to another page, just so it is easier to read. but since i am going to try and get it published, i will not post all of it, probably just the prologue, and maybe some of the chapters. i hope to be able to make a living writing, it is a real passion of mine. but i know how hard that can be, so i am not disillusioned by what may be, i just have to belive in my story telling ablities. hopefully this can bear fruit.
so pary people, have a great day, and i will probably be back later. i hope!!
