    I’m really enjoying this. Do you write other things aswell?

    Thank you for the kind words, Blizzi. It was indeed a challenge to put into words what it must have been like for Regan to actually “be” possessed…that is something we never see. What does it feel like? What does she “See”? Or is she in a coma like state? Unfortunately (well, fortunate for her) she remembers nothing.

    I do write…but just for a hobby. I am a lecturer and family therapist who is just starting a career, so the only place any “work” of mine can be found is either in an academic journal or my dissertation. 🙂

    I have simply always wondered what it was actually like for Regan from her perspective…

    Part 3…Burke’s death…is next. At least, I think…I never saw this part 2 coming, but the idea sort of grew into another section all its own.

    That is a good point you make – Blatty gives us the internal dialogues of most of the characters _except_ Regan. Your endeavor to express her inner life is a worthy one.

    You’re a gifted writer, but this ruins the mystery of whether or not Regan was possessed in the novel. It’s just too soon to mention the word demon.

    Didnt mean to ruin it for you 🙂

    You make an excellent point.

    I was thinking, though, that it would make a dramtic intro for the demon. Regan…alone…convinced there is someone in her room.

    I guess Im not writing this as if I would attempt to “fit it in” the the novel…Im just trying to capture what this moment was like.

    The trouble is…its sort of like making a Star Wars prequel. Everybody already has an internal vision of what took place. 🙂

    Apologies on being late for part 3. I was invloved in a car accident, but am back on my feet.

    emoc ot erom….

    Oh, I’m sorry about your car accident!

    I thought you were writing this to fit in the novel. Sorry.
    By the way, is it possible for you to improvise a passage I extended on the first chapter? I totally understand if you don’t have time. 🙂

    Thanks, and of course. Im in some pain, and of course life’s other priorities have taken a front burner, but tomorrow afternoon in between teaching classes I am going to post part 3.

    What did you have in mind for part 1?

    I’m really sorry. Are you okay now?

    I started a thread in fan fiction asking the fans to improvise passages I was extending in the novel, because English isn’t my first language. Only a friend offered to help but she’s very busy now and since you’re a great writer I was wondering if you could read some of my excerpts and improvise them?

    Well, I’m looking forward to part 3. 🙂

    Oh dear… I hope you feel better soon!

    Sof, I can try to help if you want… 🙂

    Writing this scene destroys the mood, terror and mystery of the novel.

    Iamnoone explained he/she didn’t write this scene to fit in the novel. At least take the time to read it before writing your honesty with compassion remarks…

    Whatever you say, Janet Jackson. Obviously you know a lot more about be honest about your identity than I do since you’re using a pop star’s name.

    Hello. Me and Lunuso (sofi) are best friends, and everything she is saying is right.
    The person who wrote this fan fiction doesn’t deserve to be put down by some person that thinks they are some sort of critic.People like you use the internet to be obnoxious anonymously. You are a coward.

    Is this a discussion or a self-help meeting?
