That, if Google Translate is to be trusted, is the working title for a new(ish) project idea that is finally getting a proper work over. A project that will have me listening to a lot of trippy, progressive rock.
The idea itself came out of listening to a couple of different prog songs a while back, but was a kind of carrot-on-a-stick until very recently. It kept dangling itself in front of me, whispering, "Hey, I'm a good idea!" and I'd hiss back, "No, you're not! You're exactly like this other story over here! Get out of the way!" Yet it kept stringing me along... that is, until my brain found some scissors lying around, and reached up and cut the string.
What I have now is a very small idea that wraps up an otherwise very large idea and makes it not terrible, and also different from that other story.
Ex Libris, Vitam... From the Books, Life.
Part prose, part verse, and purposefully very disjointed. Chuck Palahniuk, H. G. Wells, and Isaac Asimov drop acid together and narrate a stream-of-consciousness car crash, while Pink Floyd and Dreamtheater provide the soundtrack. Well, it's more like a spaceship crash, which is also a person's life.
I told you - lots of trippy, prog rock.
There will be a lot of straight up research too, as my protagonist, at the moment, is a physics buff. That might change. If it doesn't, a decent percentage of my research will be done by watching the Big Bang Theory. I might be kidding about that.
The holidays are approaching faster than I can blink. I've gotten 90% of my shopping done and today's endeavor was Christmas cards - so far, so good. No tree yet, but that might be remedied soon.
Cheers,
Em
