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.

What if one day we decided that instead of choosing to fight a war in one place instead of fighting it in another place, we choose not to fight a war in *any* place? What if we decided that none of us are free until all of us are free? What if we decided that getting along with other nations doesn't just mean setting it up that corporations will do better, it means setting it up so that people will do better?

You represent one of the reasons why even with all that is so scary in the US I still have a lot of time and affection for the people over there. The US may have some of the nuttiest, most power-crazed kooks on the planet, but it also has some of the most well-informed and sane ones too. You, dear Bob, are one of the ones I'm proud to consider a friend.

I don't think of you just as a friend, but as one of the best people I know. Why are you reading this and not writing MOAR "CRITICALLY DAMIDGED"?
