Sources for Inspiration

As a writer, I am always inclined to think where my work will take me one day. Don't we all want to get published and make it big? I'm hoping that, one day, I'll become enough of a recognized writer that someone will come up to and ask to me "where do you get your ideas for stories?" While I'm sure that day is far off, I thought I would post a few links to events and phenomena that inspire me to write the things I like to write Let's go on a tour.

The Dyatlov Pass Incident seems like something straight out of a sci-fi /horror movie. Nine hikers, on a trek to Mount Ortoten, are found dead in the Ural mountains of Russia.  Official reports declare that the group died due to a compelling unknown force. All sorts of theories have risen regarding the event, ranging from radioactivity found on the bodies, to hypothermia, to UFOs.

This year, archaeologists found what could be argued to be a Stonehenge-like series of stones at the bottom of Lake Michigan. On the stones are petroglyphs appear to depict a mastodon.

The Voynich Manuscript surfaced in 1912. Beautifully illustrated, the manuscript is completely unreadable, in that no one has been able to translate it.

Back to Russia for this one. Just over a hundred year ago, an explosion covered 2150 sq kilometers of land. While scientific theory states that it was an impact from a meteor, again, many more theories have sprung up, including a natural hydrogen bomb, a black hole, and, again, UFOs.

Hopefully this will be an entertaining read for you. Bear in mind that my views aren't reflected in the commentary of these articles. I just believe they make for interesting fodder to write on.
