In the Town of Tillamook, they have a very curious but long standing custom. The "Feast
Of Capital" is seen mostly as a children's holiday, but is an intrinsic part of
understanding Dealer Culture.
The fire sale was surprisingly lively for an early morning. Here and there people rushed
into the burning building, removing objects to the dibs pile while just as frantically the
presumed owners of the home did the same, occasionally dropping an item into the
deductible pile which sat next to the Peedee.
I've gotten a lot down here, enough so that I don't feel like I'm flying into this completely blind. For those just joining me, this is my final little jaunt into world building and exploration of the Earth, 500 years from now. It's a Post-Industrial, Non-Dystopian world, where most of the things we most fear nowadays have come to pass, and yet people are surprisingly OK with it.
Welcome back to my brainstorming/development for "Nemo" a non-dystopian, Post-Industrial novel. This idea sprang from my interest in post-industrial fiction, but really blossomed into full flower when I combined it with my love of Age of Sail ships and exploration/Adventure stories.
Continuing of my Brainstorming sessions for "Nemo" a Post-Industrial, non-dystopian novel/series which I will be beginning as my National Novel Writing Month project, starting November 1st.
As usual, Mood music. Feeling a bit Piratey today.
I must admit something. I did not know when I started writing this what the significance of "Nemo" was. I knew the word was evocative of characters and had a long literary and mythical tradition, but how it applied to this post industrial world was still a mystery to me until I thought about the history of the world, and the general attitude of people to unreasonable authority.
Welcome to my Brainstorming/Development of "Nemo", a post-industrial, non-apocalyptic, slightly hopeful look forward at the world in 500 years. This is imagined as a series, whether it ends up in book or screenplay form depends on the whims of fate. I will say, National Novel Writing Month is starting in a few days, and It may help the process for me to publish the chapters here for a bit to work out the first draft.
Still having fun with this, a LOT of fun with this, so I am continuing.
So let's start with a little mood music for describing the overland adventures. I'm going with Knopfler again, because his music is evocative and also has just enough electric to be feasible in a post-industrial world.
So, I really enjoyed the feedback that I got for my series Idea. So much so that I wanted to continue writing on it, jotting down some ideas, and working on the series "Bible" as it were for writers in the world. (All series are eventually a "Shared Universe" and IMHO work best when everybody's on the same page with regards to what's going on in the world)
