I thought I only had to have an idea (l’homme qui marche)

Abstract

I thought I only had to have an idea... to scatter attractive concepts around, enough to fill 20 pages of text … and to sky my worldview up to a starred-review. Then I would be thrown up to a throne, with a growing grand crown, showing collections of constellations of my review stars. And just like knocking on Heaven’s door, with no lures or failures, it would make me an author – a solar scholar – someone with a signature… ready for future adventures and raptures. But I had to recognize that having that idea was only the early first step.
