Project Reach: A Writer's Blog: No Progress

No Progress

I'm a slacker. The entire month of February has passed me by and I have only accomplished a very few paragraphs of writing. But I've gotten a lot of things accomplished in my personal life. I'm dating two men and will be giving a presentation at a Linux User's Group this weekend. I was also interviewed for an Ubuntu web magazine. But I'm extremely disappointed in myself for not being a more diligent writer. Poor Claire and David miss me. But I'll be back at it soon. Chapters 5 and 6 aren't going to write themselves, after all.

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.
