Regolith Part 4: Themes and Progress

Chapter 6. Six chapters.
That's how far I am with Regolith. I have the whole story worked out in my head, I just have to write it.
I like the way it's shaping up altogether now with the words and sentences and stuff.
Anyway, that's my little... Tiny... Excruciatingly small progress update. Not much else to say other than I have six chapters done, themes picked out, and I have absolutely NO, NONE, ZERO ideas for a cover design. But I have time to think on that. It'll come to me.
I wanted to devote more thought in this post about the themes and topics I want to cover. Simply, this novel talks about unwanted-ness, using people, political motivation, being blinded by power, heroism, sacrifice, and change and listening. I'd hate to go too deeply into the themes so I don't spoil anything.
When I say unwanted-ness, I mean times where someone feels, well, unwanted. Abandoned by those around them though they are right there next to them. This comes from the one minor character, Celine. She feels unwanted, but is wanted by a few characters for their various schemes and power grabs. Eventually, it comes to a head in the climax.
The theme of heroism is something I always liked. If I say heroism, I don't always mean someone saving something or the small actions. Regolith has a "big damn heroes" moment or two that leads to the sacrifice theme.
For change and listening, well, the lead character undergoes a "change" and people fail to listen to a minor character. Sorry if that's really vague.

On a side note, here's a little teaser. Finale of the Dragon's themes include maturity issues, worth proving, overcoming odds, and emotional expression. A.D.A.M.'s themes are something along the lines of love and loss, deception through love/lust, deception and advantageous behaviors, and perceptions. Fun stuff ahead.

Sorry if this post seems confusing or poorly written. My head is filled up with all kinds of mush right now. It does seem a bit disjointed right now, but it'll get better.

Thanks for reading and see you around!!
