I love a good conspiracy theory. Can’t help myself. You know the normal things like was there someone on the grassy knowl? Was it really the titanic that sank? So when I picked up a book by James Rollins last year I never expected that the book would mean I wanted to end up buying books that are filled full of Nazi conspiracy theories or dare I say it, ones about Quantum Mechanics (ok so point and fact that I haven’t book the one on Quantum Evolution, as that’s what it’s really about, mainly because I procrastinated for so long it’s now out of print! curse it!!).
Anyway, I’m currently reading a book about the Bell, which is rumoured to be a device developed under the Nazi’s that has inexplicable powers (I say this because nobody knows what’s happened to it, only that it did exist). There’s tons of conspiracy theory in there, and lots of information about the various technologies that the Nazi’s were developing. Before I carry on, I don’t condone the Nazi’s but as I said, I love a good conspiracy theory and I love science & technology.
I can’t tell you much about the book yet, but I guess I picked it up in the hope that it might give me some ideas about writing. I have lots of little ideas in my head but they go nowhere, so I need a theme, a pique, something that will grab my head and a whole story will come flooding out of it. Given that I loved John Twelve Hawks books, James Rollins latest books and various other books that are pseudo-sci-fi (i.e. they’ve got a bit of science fiction in there, but not enough to make it a bona fide sci-fi book).
I have to focus, I have a goal this year and that’s to write more. I’m not really doing well so far, mainly because the move down here has been the only thing on my mind really. However I’m going to try really hard to start thinking about writing again. Picking up my writers notebook and making little meme’s to myself. I’ve already started by attacking the word of the day on dictionary.com. So perhaps I should challenge myself on here to write something each day. Not that I often seek responses from people, but what are your thoughts?
