(Describe):
It’s 2006, or so we believe. The American government has gone insane with power during the War in Iraq and has thusly put the country under permanent arrest beneath holograms of what they believe to be the real world ‘2006’. A group of vigilantes that call themselves ‘the Glitch’ have risen to bring down the government and return American to it’s freedom. Also, the current leader of The Glitch, a woman who calls herself ‘Talon’, is on a personal vendetta to save a boy she once loved.

Setting(s) (If your novel has multiple settings, list only the two main ones)
Setting #1: Flashbacks, a high school in Texas
Time frame: 2004-2006 false time
Reason for using this setting: So readers may have some insight as to why Talon searches for this boy.
Setting #2: Present day, hologramed Texas
Time frame: 2076 real time
Reason for using this setting: Insight to the battle taking place between the Glitch and the System.
What is the main complication of the story (the central problem that must be solved by the main character)? Get rid of the corrupt government and resolve a lost love.
What are the primary obstacles preventing the main character from achieving his or her goal? Talon loves Meg, sometimes to the point of being too protective to leave for long missions.
How is the story resolved for the main characters (how does it end)? 1) Meg dies and Talon and Tiger get together to rebuild the world. 2) Meg survives and we wait until next NaNo to see what happens. |
