Gah!
I think I may have worked out the plot kinks in my novel and I'm going to post it here. Please point out any holes you see.
All political ideologies are actually generated by brainwashing machines created in the early 1900's. The political machines were run by an unbiased secret agency called M.A.R.X. However a fight between the capitalists and everyone else broke out in the early 1900's. Now, they run the machines and are keeping them all set to distribute capitalist propaganda through commercials for cable companies, but there is a faction of the political equalists, the people who want the ideologies to have an equal fighting chance, that has been hidden away. They've hired a freelance intellectual mercenary/researcher to find the rest of the manual for these machines; however, the CIA gets wind of this and decides to intervene. Jake, the main character, unknowingly dated a former CIA agent and is currently becoming involved with the researcher. The CIA take advantage of this and use the ex to get to him to get to her. Then the CIA confiscates her research, hold them captive, and fuck with the machines causing them to overload which causes these machines to break down. Now, for the first time in a century, people aren't being fed propaganda of any sort and basically nihilism breaks out and everything burns.
So yeah. I also figured out that my male MC in my first person narrative is about to get it on with a lady. How am I supposed to do that? I don't know how to write sex from the POV of a woman much less from the POV of a guy! Oh, what am I to do?!
On the non-novelling front, I have apparently forgotten how to play the cello. I know that the music is super hard and I just need to work it out, but I don't know how to work it out. It's so fast and I've been having bow hold problems and it's making my really tense when I play which stops me from being able to play fast. So, I'm going to go in for Oleg's office hours on Wednesday, if he agrees on the time. I just don't know. I love the cello, but I don't want to hurt myself and I want to be able to play well.
