Alright, fine, you got me. The likelihood of me completing this task is close to nil, but it'll give me an incentive to start the writing for Armageddon Bug.
NaNo name is Flameeagle.

I need a working title for my project so I can put it on my NaNo profile.

I did a very crappy synopsis and threw up a very small excerpt for my profile. I used the bit with the Harry Potter line because it was that one line of dialogue that started the entire world of Phantoms.

I probably should think about this a little more ... like, plan or something ... but the wild child in me just wants to run at it full tilt and see what happens :]

I plan on writing this month. It'll be about a fucked up alcoholic kid who runs away from home, and has wacky, drug-related misadventures with two people whose personalities I'm still working on. I look forward to a charming romp that definitely won't offend my worldview with tales of suicide and general futility.  Well, it started off charming... |

A Thousand Pheasants and a Werewolf
Windsor: Shotgun to the Face!
Soon to be Starred by Michael Gambon
... I think all of those are perfect and you may use them. |

I've got a title and a beginning synopsis up on my profile. To save y'all time, though:
"Ars Moriendi" is the title. The Art of Dying.
Synopsis
"God gave Noah the rainbow sign,
No more water, the fire next time."
— "Mary, Don't You Weep," an antebellum Negro spiritual
Father Edgar Warbeck wanders the Chihuahuan Desert, his skin fried and peeling from the cataclysmic nuclear war that brought the human race to the brink. As he contends with the scarred landscape, the packs of rapacious raiders and rapers wandering the desert, the marred and orphaned children forced to commit macabre deeds in order to survive, and his own eminent death, Ed begins to question not only the God and the faith that sustained him for his entire life, but also even the most basic assumptions of what constitutes humanity; goodness, justice, morality.
As his body slowly withers and dies, Warbeck descends into a deep hopelessness and nihilism, and begins to wonder if there is any meaning to life, or if the existence of the human race was all one big mathematical fluke, never to be repeated again, never to be mourned once its epoch has passed.
I actually don't know where I'm going to go with it. Originally, I planned for Warbeck to eventually have his faith in humanity and God restored... but as I think about it, I'm actually finding it hard to do that realistically.

Heh, I almost went with "The Waye of Dying Well" after a work similar to Ars Moriendi, but the addition of "well" and having it in more or less plain English seemed a bit obtuse, like I was clubbing you over your head with the theme. I'm still kind of concerned about that, but not as much.

Ooooh! Sounds awesome, Jor! A little dark and possibly depressing but you could have light parts to disperse that in places.
Still wondering if I should plan at all ... >.> Really considering Fairy-story now and maybe another random ... and possibly just sitting down and writing what-the-fuck-ever-I-fancy :]
