Just shoot me now.
Oct. 24th, 2010 11:19 pmSo I'm browsing Amazon and I come across this blurb.
Me: Ooh, a galactic Hegemony. Of course I can't read Hegemony without thinking of OSC's Ender books, but still...
Me: Even better. I love desperate human resistance movements!
Me:
In much, much better news, A NEW ALEX BENEDICT BOOK IS COMING OUT NOV 2! (Alex Benedict being one of the main characters of the series; the author is Jack McDevitt.) I will happily admit that I love this series as much for the serious Alex/Chase projecting I indulge in as for the all-around awesome writing and plots and intrigue blah blah blah. And I HAVE A NOOK SO I DON'T NEED TO BUY THE DAMN THING IN HARDCOVER WOOT!
In David Weber's new novel, Out of the Dark, Earth has been conquered by the galactic Hegemony,
Me: Ooh, a galactic Hegemony. Of course I can't read Hegemony without thinking of OSC's Ender books, but still...
and the crumbling human resistance movement has one last, desperate hope:

I need a title for my 2010 NaNo project. I have the feeling that if I title it, it'll be more real and thus I will be more likely to finish it. In any case I have to have something to call it besides my 2010 NaNo project. Plus I want to make a banner to use on the NaNo forums.
I don't want to go into a bunch of plot details, namely because I don't actually have a plot yet, but in my mind the theme of the story is transformation. The magic system is transformational (you can turn something into something else, but only if you actually have that something already on hand. There's no creating something from nothing... it's all about balance, transference, etc) and I want the main characters' arcs to reflect that as well.
Anyone have any random ideas?
Crap, I need to go to bed.
