I'm writing a novella sort of like "1984." It involves war-torn US struggling to feed its population. It has to do with the Malthus Theory. The year is 1973, the same year as the oil crisis. You will find out what happened to the US, and everything not very long into the book, maybe around the fifth chapter. Not very long, around 10-12 chapters. Maybe more.
Characters - Male Dynamic Protagonist (Help me figure out the name, please) - Female Static Character (Name, please)
I need names, details for the war-torn US (I know you guys play MW2, so I don't know what I should do really), and a name for the book. I'm thinking about "Deception" as the title, but is it a good idea? Also, is 10-12 chapters too short or too long?
