New Idea for writing…

I wanted to post this idea for a story (novel?) . This isn’t an excuse to get away with not writing it just seemed so good that I wanted to share it with you. I was thinking of James Joyce’s “Ulysses” and how it was Joyce’s strange, middle-class, alteration of Homer’s “Odyssey”. My idea was to take the Arthurian legend cycle and transport it into today. make the quest for the Grail into this world. I need to start reading up on the legend though and start seeing how to couch it in contemporary terms.

I think to start I should re-read “Once and Future King” and then move on to primary sources. For now though it’s to continue doing research on my watery story.

Well just a head’s up
