Welcome to the future of reading!
Get ready to be impressed." She is going to love this.
They walked up to the doorman at the entrance. Sofia presented her membership card. He granted them entrance to the Aurora Night Club by opening the door for them.
As they walked into the club, Sofia glanced at Marla to see her reaction.
"Sofia, this is… is…" Wow! I’ve never seen anything like…
"You can close your mouth now.” Your expression is so… priceless!
"Evie's the one you don't want to underestimate. Looks sweet, doesn't she? Don't let that fool you." Jon glanced at Evie and smiled. "She's more dangerous than I am." If he only knew just how lethal she is… you don’t mess with her.
Evie rolled her eyes. "Jon, stop it." You’re being over dramatic.
"Most of the intricate surveillance you have... came from her brain." And then some.
"Then her brain saved mine three years ago. So, Evie, I owe you another sincere thank you. You saved my life that night."
"Are you coming to the meeting?" asked Ethan. Why is she still upset?
Sofia hesitated. Breathe. “Yes… I will come… once I finish this last part.” If only everyone would leave!
Ethan took a step closer toward Sofia. She’s so stubborn…
Then—she muttered under her breath: “Maybe I can actually paint if everyone else is at the meeting.” Oh crap. I said it out loud. Damn. Too late. Why do I keep doing that? Just paint and maybe they’ll leave. Sofia raised her brush and painted one black stroke.
“I don’t need saving.” I just need . . . just . . . what?
“I know . . . but if you ever do… I’ll be there . . . until the end.” There . . . I said it. Will she believe me?
She stared at him. Oh my God . . . he’s . . . different. He’s trying to… give more, instead of… manipulating me. He’s . . . he is offering… to be… my partner . . . equals? He’s thinking… of me… and not… just himself.
“Sofia, what’s on your mind? Talk to me.” Please talk to me.
Sofia stepped forward, slowly. She stopped just in front of him. “I’m still figuring it out.”
Abstracting Realism™ is a new writing method and system that shows human thought and emotion the way they actually happen in real life: fast, layered, and constantly shifting. Instead of explaining what a character feels, AR captures the real internal movement underneath a moment: thoughts, reactions, emotional logic, micro-perceptions, and contradictions.
The result is writing that feels immediate and alive, as if the reader is inside the character’s mind in real time. Many describe the experience as “a movie in your head.”
AR blends spoken words, internal thoughts, and emotional shifts into one clear structure. It works in all systems: fiction, memoir, literary, romance, thriller, YA, and psychological writing because it is based on universal human cognition, not plot or style.
Created over six years, Abstracting Realism™ gives writers a practical, teachable way to make internal experience visible on the page without using heavy description or long explanations. It brings readers closer to the truth of what a character is thinking and feeling in the moment it happens.
*****************
Note: Spoken words are in "quotes." Everything else in each paragraph are either thoughts, feelings, and other related moments.
Example:
Ethan looked at the clock. Time was ticking away. Sofia, why do you make this so hard? "Now what?" You're so stubborn. Why won't you give a little? Stay calm. You're so... beautiful when you're mad.
"You know what?" Who do you think you are? You are crazy if you think I'll do that. Jerk. I could... just... scream! Breathe in... breathe out. "Just forget it." Her phone rang. Perfect timing. Enough of this crap. She walked out of the room without saying another word.

Five years ago, Sofia Stone lost everything without knowing why. Now, one unexpected knock on her door forces her back into the orbit of the one man she vowed never to trust again, Ethan Kellerton, a powerful CEO with secrets of his own.
When Sofia faces eviction, Ethan offers a lifeline: a contract, a studio, and a place to stay. But nothing about his offer feels clean. Nothing about his timing feels accidental.
As Sofia enters Ethan’s world of wealth, security, and danger, she begins to sense the truth: she wasn’t just unlucky… she was targeted. And Ethan knows far more than he’s saying.
Caught between old wounds and new threats, Sofia is forced to confront a question she spent years avoiding:
Is Ethan her betrayer or the only person who ever tried to protect her?
With every chapter, the lines between fear, desire, loyalty, and manipulation blur. Every choice twists tighter. Every revelation cuts deeper.
And in the shadows around them, something dangerous is moving, something that will change both of their lives forever.
Five Minutes is a psychological thriller told through the immersive, thought-driven lens of Abstracting Realism™, pulling readers directly inside the characters’ minds as their truths unfold, and it feels like a "movie in your head."

Abstracting Realism™ is a new writing system that captures how real human thought and emotion actually move—layered, fast, contradictory, and immediate. It blends spoken words, inner thoughts, and emotional logic into one clear structure so readers experience the moment instead of observing it.
It began with one question: How do I describe the intangible so others can feel what I feel?
Answering that question required six years of development and resulted in a fully documented writing system.
Traditional writing describes emotion from the outside. AR shows the internal experience directly throught flow, emotional shifts, contradictions, and micro-reactions without heavy explanation. Readers often describe it as "movie in your head.”
Because it is built on how people actually think: stress, joy, fear, hesitation, conflict, and confusion. AR maps the internal shifts that happen during all emotional states.
Funds support independent release, legal protection, beta testing, and preparing AR for universities, clinical research, writing programs, and broader public access.
You can read the selected excerpts available here and join other Beta Readers on this site. Explore "The 10 Basics," "AR Sample," and oher information on this site. I will continue to add additional excerpts. Remember, AR feels immediate because it captures real internal movement in real time.
Yes, AR works at multiple integration levels (20%–90%). Beginners use simple thought layering. Advanced writers use deep internal structuring. The system is flexible.
It takes practice because you’re capturing internal experience, not just describing actions, but the system is structured, teachable, and clear once you learn the rules.
<COMING SOON >
AR workshops and introductory classes are currently being developed for universities, continuing education programs, and private groups. I will start sending Newsletters and will announce when classes become available. I plan on doing most classes on Zoom at various times. Updates will also be posted on this site and on LinkedIn.
