journal transcription part one

I have random notes written in various places, and I'm looking for something in particular, some letters I wrote as one character to another. I'm not sure where they are. That's what's so difficult about writing a novel, I think, keeping things organized. I consider myself a pretty organized person, but I don't have an easy time of keeping my random notes organized. I tried recording my thoughts on cassettes for awhile, and now I have about twenty cassette tapes filled with I don't know what. I'm sure there's some pretty impressive stuff in them, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to transcribing them.

I'm just about done with my favorite little notebook, with its colorful little cover that I did myself. This little moleskine notebook is the perfect size to carry around and jot things down in. And now I'm gonna attempt to find out what's in it by transcribing it one page at a time.

In the Pillar of Fire
We can hear our Savior calling
We will shed this earthly pyre
As is written in His Word
No more pain and no more suff'ring
We can see our Savior smile
We are living as we're dying
In the Pillar of Fire

A little 'splaining:
#4 refers to coffee filters;
The lyrics are a song I wrote that I imagine the Branch Davidians singing as their compound burned down around them (it's for the novel);
Jerry Curl is a character name I think I would like to play, a real cheesy, sleazy polyester guy;
Crystal Valium I think is a great name for a drag queen;
That's all I know.
