Breakthrough

While driving alone in the car to my little sister's birthday party, I had an epiphany about my novel. I've been working on it on and off since November 2008 and for all that time, it's been untitled. The central meaning of the work was hazy in my mind resulting in no grand inspiration for a title. So, while I was listening to Owl City, a metaphor started to take shape. I wrote two pivotal scenes in my head that I quickly typed up when I got home.

So, the long awaited answer to the question: what is this book all about? It's about Chasing Fireflies. At least, for now.
