Revised Plan for Saturday Evening

I got some more outlining done in my notebook binder, made a bunch of copies and returned some books, renewed some others. Now I'm going to suffer through Sandra Bullock's acting in Premonition and then dig up the old VCR and pop in Breaking Away which was filmed in Bloomington in the '70s and stars Dennis Quaid. Research is no fun sometimes.

Abstract

David is the 18-year-old star academic in his Cognitive Sciences PhD Program at Indiana University, but even his genius-level intellect can't aid him in gaining an understanding of Claire, the universally-loved “townie” who caters his weekly departmental luncheon. Will his deep fascination with Claire's ability to engage in extrasensory perception derail his nascent career and subject his promising dissertation to the ridicule of his colleagues?

Project Reach is intended to be a work of literary fiction written in the present tense from alternating first person perspectives. It explores the nature of consciousness and the limits of human perception while remaining grounded in the powerful bonds that sometimes develop between individuals of widely divergent personalities, talents, and backgrounds.

The manuscript is being subjected to peer review by a panel of five members who hold degrees in theater, fine arts in photography, graphic art, history, English, humanities, history and philosophy of science, and deaf education.
