One day this summer, I was browsing through my iPhone NASA app. I once wanted to be an astronaut until I realized how much math was involved. I'm still slightly obsessed with outer space.
I found the photo to the right and I had the kernel for my current WIP, Scattered Ashes.
Makes you wonder what came to my mind, doesn't it? Just wait until you read this novel...you might be surprised.

I love when that happens. I always try to keep my eyes open, because I NEVER know when inspiration will strike.
And yes, I'm totally curious what this inspired now. :)
It inspired religion, gods, signs & symbols. I hope it'll be crazy-awesome. :)
Astronomy was one of the majors I looked at as a freshman, but I stopped at one class after the professor ruined the romance of astronomy by making us do so much math.
I do like math though, and my new script deals with the founding of calculus (in a romantic-comedy sort of way). (But I do need an actual physicist to help me with the math).
But that's one of the things I want to play with in the script: the romance of science vs. the hard numbers of science ... and how two people with these two different philosophies approach the same problem.
