It's actually an "imprint" that Jesus left in the places he visited during his ministry. Connor can see them and (possibly) experience what Jesus did 2000 years ago. I haven't decided yet if Connor can hear Jesus from back then (e.g. The Sermon on the Mount). It becomes somewhat unwieldy when you think about Nazareth since he grew up there and his aura should be all over that place at different ages. Still thinking about how this will work.

My main character, Connor, reports seeing the "aura" of Christ as they travel to places He visited in the Holy Land. After looking up the word, I'm not sure it's the correct term. What Connor sees is the residual energy of Christ's passing. Is that His aura or is there a better term? I suppose I could go with residual energy, although that's a long term.

Thanks

The first one looks like you falling asleep (or being pious) and the second one looks like you after too much coffee. It also looks like me with my Harry Potter glasses on (gold frame/black was too geeky). I look like a country doctor with old-fashioned spectacles. My mother can't stop laughing when she sees them. I guess that was the reason there was only pair of those frames among the entire store selection.

Nuts. I just changed Lo Bidda to Low Bidder in my Strongest Start entry. Back to the edit screen.

Is Lo Bidda Corporation an obvious variant of Low Bidder Corporation, or should I make it more obvious for the spoof-impaired?

I plan to have a cab driver named Leonardo.

Welcome, G. You've done step one. :-)  Now please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about the story you've written.

Dune, the best-selling sci-fi novel of all time used omniscient/headhopping. The author and his son have written well over a dozen books in the Dune universe. Movie, two miniseries, another planned movie, etc.

Just saying...

Outlining to be begin before the end of this month. I have only one important book to reread before I start.

Turns out the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 that Parker Brothers no longer has a valid trademark on Monopoly. So LowBid Corporation or Monopoly Corporation? They are a technology monopoly.

I'm waffling between Lowest Bidder Corporation and Acme, Inc. The latter is less wordy, even if I drop Corporation and Inc. Anyone want to stop me before I change it back to Acme? Either way, it's intended to be silly. The former is my own creation whereas the latter is instantly recognizable as a variant of ACME Corporation. The name ACME dates back a century, so Bugs Bunny has no right to the name Acme, Inc. Also, although my Acme technology is always breaking down, ACME products always worked exactly according to specs. since ACME turned out to be a subsidiary of the Road Runner Corporation. I could consider LowBid Corporation, but it's not as funny as Acme. Or Lowbid?

Thoughts?
