2009 begins

Was pondering last night about what kind of novel I'd like to write someday. Thought of a title, "Hurtling," since the incredibly fast passage of time, especially at the end of the year & the Holidays, is so much on my mind. Wouldn't it be cool to write about a researcher/non-fiction writer studying the perception of time and how to affect its speed (or perceived speed) and getting trapped by his or her findings? Could be a fun way to present scientific info wrapped in a fictional narrative. And somehow I also feel driven to investigate the ghost-story genre, got another book of ghost stories of NY state last week, am so compelled to keep buying & reading these. Edith Wharton and Henry James rule, though!
