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.

Mmm, delicious clones! I'd love to read some sci fi by you if you find you have the inclination. (I'll have to look up teresa of avila.)

Just in time for NaNoWriMo! :-p

I think it needs a pumpkin patch, a corn maze and some cider. But then, what do I know?

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

I cannot begin to say how strongly I endorse this statement.

Also, do not forget to tell George Eliot.

You are a HORRIBLE TEASE woman. :)
