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.

Yah, well beauty and ferocity aren't mutually exclusive. As you've noticed.
I do think dogs are wonderful in their way, as you do. But yes, I'm much more attracted to the felines as well.
Now my boo, I think he feels the opposite. He favors the canines, even while certain felines have and do hold place in his heart. Though really he likes animals in general far more than he likes humans. He's kind enough not to mention it to most humans though. :)

Hmm, with the woo, I've got so many perspectives on it.
One can always just use the woo type stuff from a psychological Jungian type angle.
Like, one could dialogue with cheetah (or whomever) as an aspect of our own psyches, and see then what we're trying to tell ourselves.

:) I like talking with you too. Thank you.
