NaNoWriMo 2008 - chapter 1

[miriam_e]

I have begun my story for NaNoWriMo 2008. It is called Critically Damaged and you can find it at
http://miriam-english.org/stories/critically-damaged/index.html

It is not a science fiction story in the normal sense. It does contain some elements you'd normally think of as science fiction, but it is set in the current day, the technology is not central to the story, and I believe the things mentioned could be built now anyway. Certainly I know a number of groups are working on it.

My description may be too vague, but I'm loathe to give too much away:

It can take years to create an intricate masterwork.
When it is done, what is its value? And who can say?

So far only the short prologue is up there.
1 - prologue

I hope to post another chapter every 3 or 4 days.

I'd appreciate any comments.

I found one more bit of American culture, or at least I think it is: kitteh - the language lolcats speak. But any more it's worldwide. Kind of like the Four Tops, but much sillier.

/me expects a chapter of the novel to be written in kitteh.

BAI!

heheh I guessed.

By the way, I thought of some more US culture: Blues music. That was a new development that had incredible ramifications around the world as it gave rise to Rock'n'Roll and many other forms.
