Day 32: Lander again

Since I am doing what some might call an extreme midlife crisis maneuver, I figured I should go with the flow and try for The Great American Novel.

I’ve been toying with this idea for a couple days. Edgar Allen Poe is a dark cultist with a zombie wife, bent upon mastering space and time. Mark Twain, Nikola Tesla, Theodore Roosevelt and Ben Franklin team up to stop him.

So far the idea is totally awesome. It’s going to make a million dollars. It has splosions, time travel, and tentacles. And a wicked steam yacht chase scene. I’ll just say this: Mark Twain with a Gatling gun mowing down the Spanish navy.

I have some good plot/character outlines. Tomorrow I hope to develop subplots that can mesh well with the main plot. That is while I bike to Jefferson City.

    Day 32: Chris breaks into the Peyote stash.

    Make sure to work Hunter S. Thompson into the cast of characters.

    Hehe, great idea. I’ll take any and all ideas and work them in. Oh and I think I’m just permanently damaged from previous drug use, I’m just funky the way I am.
