I have the sudden and inexplicable urge to write. Well, it's not really sudden. A lot of the reason for the move to seattle was so I could write uninterupted. I've been brainstorming what to write, here's the ideas so far, in the form of book titles.

The 40th Year: Man's exodus from religion.
Madness Craved: An unauthorized Autobiography
The Zen of Zelda: How to gain inner peace by the virtual sword
Writing in the Tub: Essays on Genius (Guess where I am!)
Get Rich by Writing A Book About How To Get Rich, And Sell It To Everyone: The New Internet Pyramid Scheme
Awesome: A story about a Time Traveling Ninja.

I'll probably end up writing them all, but I'd like to get a rough draft on one of them done by the end of the month. What's your vote?

I'll need a special laptop tub-table for that... I've got a few designs in mind, but what I'm most worried about is the steam. I've lost a couple laptops to shower-steam before.

You should begin with Writing in the Tub: Essays on Genius. People like to feel smart, and if they buy a book with "genius" in the title, they'll feel smart. They'll feel even smarter when they walk around with it in their hands where everyone can see what they're carrying.

You'll sell more copies, and thus make more money, that way.

The Zen of Zelda sounds like an intriguing choice.

It's a metaphor. Like the 40 days and 40 nights, or the 40 years in the desert. Maybe not the best one, but hey, I can't always be such a genius.
