What if every 4 years you had to get elected to keep your job. And you had to get other people to fund your campaign. How would this motivate employees. How would different election processes have different motivational skews? What is the electing body, what are candidates judged by, are there parties and how influential are party lines? What is the org chart within the business, of the business within the market sector?
How would political parties translate to businesses.
What business sector should I choose. One where the task of the job has as little affect on the plot of the story. Accounting? Grisham did law.
Write in alice and wonderland, gogol, absurdist beaurocracy style.

Bill vs Bob
Sausage
All I need to eat is the grind, the meat, the spice, the heat. Life ain't sweet, it's savory. So you should savor each beat of the heart, and every spark you breath into flame that beats back the dark.
All I need to eat is the meat and the cleaver. The rest? Y'all can leave it to Beaver.Sunday, March 27, 2016
I believe in wherewolves. Have you heard of The Island of Dr Moreau? What about Josef Mengele? And how do you think modern medicine compares with 1942?
Expand premise to modern day sci-fi in an "exercise in youthful blasphmy"
Island of taboo/blasphmy? Human mutation? Genetically modified humans? Early human genetic experiments? Photosynthesis (violet you're turning violet) transexuals, extra-sensory? What are the limitations? Cyborg or bio-mechinacal? Can only affect a certain percentage of the genome. Conflict, scientist is on the verge os a potentually nefarious but well intentioned breakthrough but gets trapped by his own creation (frankenstein, nobel, heart of darkness)
Cyborg Moreau?
What is the perspective of the main character/limited narrator? Heart of darkness or frankenstein, (what is the fear, being mutated (loss of identity) or losing control?)? What about gattica? Planet of the apes? Which would be better for Paul Allen? What if I wrote four short stories, Frankenstein/Jurassic Park, apocolypse now, planet of the apes, and gattica?
Lord of the flies, black stallion? Constitutional Convention?
Hms beagle for 2, black stallion, frankenstein, jurassic park, island of dr moreau, apocolypse now, lord of the flies, x men, constitutional convention, planet of the apes, gattica.
Each chapter from a different character's perspective.
