I haven't gone to sleep since I posted my last entry. just stayed up all night into the morning.

over the last couple of days I think I have thought up the novel to work on after Honest John, if I finish it, if I decide to work on and finish another work of fiction.
not The Book of Gideon and not that dumb and goofy Dystopia idea thought it has sort of an element of the Dystopia idea.
I think I want to work on a book on what happens when you attain Ipissimus-hood. yes, it takes place in the present day or the present day minus a few decades. no, the protagonist doesn't decide to rule the world or anything. I have the main character. any help with adding conflict here? I have one rationale as to why I would Ipissimus (a term I don't think I would use) would not make the world into a Utopia. several exist at any one time and they have different ideas of Utopia and they would not want to impose. this does not actually make sense though I guess I can think of something.
by the way, you can think of this as the inverse of Honest John. Honest John revolves around the protagonist not getting what she wants and the consequences of this. fertile soil for drama. in the other book the protagonist would get just what she wants (I think) and not in a bad Twilight Zone twist ending way. you see why I have trouble thinking of what would happen next?

I have a couple of more ideas about projects. not wanting to sit around and type them though, not right at the moment. actually I mean to go out and research one of those ideas.
