The end of the Mayan long calender, Dec. 21, 2012, has believers and non-believers alike wondering about what this event will portend. The History Channel is running twenty-one days of programming leading up to this date which depicts a wide range of end of days prophecies.
The array of prophetic scenarios is broad, from the Book of Revelation, Nostradamos, Edgar Cayce, John Smith, the mysteries of the 13 crystal skulls left on earth by aliens from other planets, or scientific geologic facts of super volcanoes like Yellowstone. Whether or not you give any credence to these possibilites they all are great fodder for a writer, particularly a writer of apocalyptic fiction.
So, get your notebook, set the recorder on your VCR, pop a bowl of popcorn and sit back with the remote control and find that germ of an idea for your next novel. That's what I'm doing until...well, the end of days.
