Writing: A Possibility

I have not been writing. I have been reading a lot, and working. That's pretty much it. Swimming sometimes, but mostly just reading and working. I love reading, and I love my job, and I love swimming, so this isn't really a hardship.

But I've been thinking about taking up some writing again.

I have this idea for a story, well, no I have this idea for a setting, but I've been struggling with the story itself. And I know already that for me it's probably best not to start until I know what I'm writing about. The setting has to do with ubiquitous computing and deviceless access to digital information, ubiquitous libraries (where the information is in the walls of the location where its needed, w00t), online games that take place across city streets with superimposed digital interfaces, all very cyberpunk. But no story so far.

Then last night it struck me that what I really needed was some clones. In particular, a clone of Teresa of Avila.

What does a clone of Teresa of Avila do? Pray quietly and write witty things about mysticism?

Don't get me wrong, Teresa of Avila is my current favorite person. :)

Oh ye of limited imagination.

Notably, yesterday was her Feast Day.

Indeed it was!

Think about it: a clone...living in a high tech world. Probably wouldn't have the same life experiences, or want exactly the same things, correct?
