Book Ideas IV

26|Comedy as a drug - comedians are drug dealers
                                      all successful comedians have had surgery or trials
                                      the trials rewrite mental pathways
                                          without live stand-up it rewrites
                                      the surgery manually causes the pathway change
                                          without usage the brain "heals"
                                      active mental pathways create laphotonin
                                      excessive intake of laphotonin causes insanity

27|a robot named "libel"
                                       create fake celebrities
                                          mock movies, stories, etc they were in
                                          make them interesting people - the sort we'd relate to
                                        then describe the antics of the robot in their lives
                                           how he found them doing wrong things
                                           how their just like us
                                        have it written in the style of a tabloid
                                            cartoon pictures?
                                        note: be sure to NOT target real people
                                        the goal is to have people identify with the celebrities
                                        but secretly root for the robot

28|fake charity              craft a book about a real problem that lacks a charity
                                       describe where it came from and its funding
                                       identify its major participants, its impact, etc
                                       also identify how the charity is changing lives
                                       then have the last chapter identify why it doesn't exist

29|soft sci-fi                   research some unsolved physics challenges
                                       create a machine/material/etc that solves it
                                       incorporate the drama around the solution existing

30|mergeling                  identify a specific genre (writing genre?)
                                           examples include (post-apocolypic teen angst?)
                                       identify as many common symbols present in each
                                           group the common symbols into categories
                                       write a story that uses the same but none of the symbols

As Mary made her way along the path, the way grew a little wider; the subtle hint of the crashing waves behind her gave way to a sweet murmuring.  "The air seems cooler," Mary thought to herself, as the murmuring grew gently louder.  Moving along the path, Mary saw the walk bubbling up quietly from some unseen source; where the water flowed, along the path, the slope of the hill fell.  "Wow, natural spring water," Mary thought a she held her flask against the current.  The left and right side of the path were covered in a clear, clean stream, and the center of the path held rocks that continued the path, sloping upwards.  Having taken a few solid gulps and filling her flask, Mary hopped onto the first rock, being careful to land in the center. "How curious," considered Mary, as she looked at the stepping stone.  "It appears to be made of wood but decorated as if it were stone."  Looking forward, Mary noted the stones continued on their steady p

Playing with the small arms, Mary thought “what if I ...” A small whirring sound beneath the base of the object seemed to resonate along the fingertips in contact with the arms. “Of course,” exclaimed Mary as she stepped back from the stone dais. “It is an astrolabe! I used to build these at home when daddy brought home stories!” Excited, Mary watched as the well rotated in place and beneath the aligned arrowheads, a small stone had recessed near her left knee. Bending over, Mary noticed a faint odor. “Is that … violets,” asked Mary as her eyes drew closer to the hole. “Why do I smell violets?” Looking closer, Mary realized the hole into the well went back only a foot; within the hole lay a small bed of blue petals. Amidst the petals lay a small metal object. Near her right foot, Mary picked up a small stick and gently placed it within the hole. Not hearing any response from the hole, Mary moved the small piece of metal closer to the edge. “I wonder what this is,” considered Mary as

[.: Brainstorm; random words :.] Gossamer dreams of ember days, ordinary ordinations gone ablaze, and time lost to sand and haze, has come to roost in deeper plays. "Why am I here," asked Mary, as she stood on the beach.  There had been a point where Mary was quite certain of what she had been doing.  She was sure of it.  "I don't recall how I arrived here," stated Mary to her shadow.  Standing on the beach, letting the wind draw attention to her feet, Mary glanced at the designs drawn by waves from unknown shores.  Small eddies revealed shells, filling the spaces between her toes, and slowly she walked; the waves crashed gently to her right as the soft sun hid behind clouds and cast a shadow several feet ahead. "Perhaps I shall run across someone whom I might recognize," said Mary, as she moved along the shore.  "At the very least, they might help me remember something."  As the beach slowly revealed a dune in the distance, the water
