Isis

Isis is the mover and shaker of the Egyptian pantheon. She is one of the main antagonists and protagonists.

Early on, she poisons Ra, and while Ra is sick, she lets Ra know that she can cure him, but only if Ra gives her his true name. This means that Isis holds power over Ra, which is a handy thing.

Isis is an important character in the cycle of stories about her husband Osiris and his rivalry with their brother Set. Isis is responsible for finding all the pieces of Osiris and putting him back together long enough for her to engage his affections and conceive Horus. Isis and Horus hide from Set until Horus is old enough to challenge Set for the leadership of Egypt. We'll come back to that in another entry.

Isis governs the province of magic, and she has longevity, being worshiped into Greco-Roman times. She is a mistress of manipulation, representing the mother and the spouse, literally the great woman behind every man.

Lately (On fire!)

I wonder what you think.

Many of the writers I know are online less. Why? I have this crazy hypothesis that, like me, they are writing their little hearts out, sending out stories and working on novels. This takes up a fair amount of energy. For me, it's the same energy that I use to put together some of these entries.

Also, I'm interested (read--hot to do) the things I'm writing now, and so I'd rather be putting those together than writing about life. I enjoy writing about searching for the work/life balance. Sharing my research is an easy way to solidify my research and helps me with the writing. AND the writing interviews are fun, but they are not labor intensive on this end.

Yes, I am lazy blogger. But in my author life, baybee, I'm on fire! And I've got to be. I've got about 4800 more hours to write before I become the Beatles. ;P

I wonder if my writing friends are having the same kind of focus shift. Well, it's food for thought. Now, I have to do some editing. Instead of writing here.

On fire!
