Starting some serious think
NaNoWriMo Novel for 2004: Induction
NaNoWriMo Novel for 2005: Infection
NaNoWriMo Novel for 2006: Insurrection (working title)
Induction introduced the main characters, and tracked the MC's path from a man in control of his life to a fugitive from unknown but well-organized enemies that destroyed his life and captured his girlfriend. He is at the mercy of mysterious a group, a splinter group, it seems to him, of the very people trying to capture him.
Infection follows the MC's new life with the Thippah, leveraging his knowledge of history and cutting edge computer hacking skills to keep the Thippah hidden from the world, while still fighting other groups that would reveal The People as the world's true masters.
Insurrection pits the MC against both Thippah'n and human world powers. At stake is the fate of a continent: and possibly of the entire Thippah'n race!
At this point, Induction is in final edit, and should be ready for submission for publication by late spring (I've got NaNo, then other, writing commitments throughout the winter and spring). I've procrastinated on the editing, despite wonderful comments and suggestions from JNE (thanks!).
Infection will need a lot of work once I'm finished with Induction, but I plan on having it ready for publication by the end of the year: this next two years is writing/editing prime time for me.
Insurrection may be able to stand on its own, and will not need the same kind of editing as the other novels, as I'll be building on an "alternate universe" instead of pulling characters through 1,200 pages (!!!). It will start, I hope, at around 500 pages before editing and fleshing out. Previous experience has showed me that, for example, Induction went from 50,000 to almost 118,000 words from initial NaNoWriMo to (almost) finished piece.
I'd love to go into more detail on the story lines. However, my work and writing are somewhat at odds, and gettingdooced is not high on my list of desired life experiences. These books will be published, probably under different titles and certainly not under my name.
