The working title for my novel. It's about a man adrift. Aren't they all? I mean my characters,not men in general. While searching for his purpose he gets caught up in an old chase for a ghost ship. eventually he finds the answers he needs, well, most of them.
He is a black man with African roots trying to come to grips with being a citizen of the galaxy while maintaining a link to his own culture. he is also a pacifist forced to do violence on occasion, in fact he has chosen a violent way of life for some reason.
full disclosure, i have been toying with the idea for a couple of years now, but i get about fifty pages in and it kind of falls apart. I am at an integral action scene and i just kind of mentally say "eh," and move on to something else. I have the ending, even ideas for the next story, i just can't move the damn thing forward for some reason. but I'm doing it now.
I'm fifteen pages into the re-write and it feels like it's gonna get done finally. it is good for me to have something to focus on. I don't do well with down time and i have way too much of that now.
