The state of the Economy...Well mine at least.

My life is rapidly turning into a typical country song cliche. I'm broke, unemployed, my house is getting absorbed by the city for a freeway expansion and now my husband was informed that the college he works for is closing down and they don't have any money to offer severance packages. Oops, sorry; was their sentimentality. (Yea me!)

What to do what to do...Well, it got me thinking and then inspiration struck! So I started doing the one thing I can do with little to no resources or investment, I started to write something. No not a letter to the editor or the Governor; both viable ideas, but frivolous effort at best. No this is something much more revenue based and timely, tell me what you think...

Drawing my inspiration from the culmination between the Facebook founders recent bio flick and the higher-ups versus the little people in the college cut-back's, I decided to draw from life and create a tale of struggle. Something I titled, "Nex Gen Overlords: It's Ruled by Design." It's an exaggeration of "1984" meets modern day conspiracy theory with a dash of hedonistic capitalism for good measure.

The tale opens twenty years in the future and looks back to our present time. Basically it narrates the eventual decay of society on a global scale as we submit to the technology that we have all become so dependent upon. This creates a new generation of global leaders, a select few that have the knowledge to design, create and operate the worlds technologies. These collective few include an antagonist and protagonist character, the dark versus the light of course. The bulk of the masses are either devolved into drones or worshipers. The collective evolves into a futuristic demigod for the cult followers. And all of this is played out in a tangible environment that my fellow conspiracy theorists can really get their teeth into.

So what do you think? Send me your feed back. Love to show you some excerpts.

How does this relate to my personal economics? Well, this I can sell by chapter to several magazines who have already shown interest on spec. Eventually I see this entire story from beginning to end in novel form already, so we'll have to wait and see (hope-hope). In the meantime, it certainly has taken my mind off the rest of my woes.
