I have nothing interesting for you. No, seriously. I am uninteresting. In lieu of anything that might interest anyone I have a brainspew on my various projects, which pretty much comes out as I think of it.

First of all, I really need to finish the first draft of the Underground and possibly without any sciency scenes until I figure out what's going on with that. Then, maybe this weekend, I need to finish reading my cell/molecular biology and biometrics books, take copious notes, and then figure out what the hell is going on with the sciency stuff. Then I can go back and integrate it. Then I can give it a once-over for copy-editing, phrasing that really just doesn't work, and so on. And probably by then it will be time to post it for SciFi big bang. That... actually startlingly resembles a plan. And, really, most of it involves just getting off my ass and doing the thing where I take notes on things that I barely passed in school the first time. Heh.

Triumvirate is the thing I will need to make sure I do not distract myself from Underground with. And both of them need titles, but Triumvirate at least has more vivid characters I enjoy writing and less open/blatant description of technology I can barely keep inside my head. That one I just need to sit down and drag the words out of me, and I have the sneaking suspicion that my backbrain is working on it when my forebrain isn't. Hence, not letting it run away with itself and take me with it.

I still need titles. Underground is a science fiction ish story, a little science fiction, a little noir, involving a woman who gets in over her head inadvertently with her contracted employers who are making super soldiers. It seriously, deeply needs an overhaul on where the focus is and about the super soldiers, and probably ten times more science because I got distracted on the protagonist who then turned out to be bland and boring, at least to me. BUT. The concepts in this book: street couriers on rollerblades, biotechnology, grown/in-utero-genetically-altered domesticated humans (yes, I said domesticated humans) with chameleon skin who live in the sewers and...

... and I just realized. Shit. I wonder if I have time to do that. But I just realized. This should probably have more of their point of view, too. Fuck. I hate it when I realize that halfway into a Big Bang. I guess I can just write scenes, chop scenes, and then hope it all comes out with the minimum word count.

Anyway. So there's that. What should its title be?

Triumvirate is a story of two men and one women from disparate backgrounds who marry as representatives of their people to stop a war that's been going on for a few generations. They make it work, discover they really can at least be friends and care for each other, and foil not one but two plots to destroy the peace and restart the war. Title that! ... actually, that's not a bad summary right there.

And now I have to go fix my fucking SciFi Big Bang. ARGH.
