I’m going for a sort of…. 1984/Fahrenheit 451/Inception tone. It’s hard to explain. I want the audience to have clues of what’s going on, but think the exact opposite of what’s really going on until I finally reveal what’s really going on. That’s why “real truth”(or, the genuine belief by the characters that it is real truth) is so important(and why I added it). The characters are part of the key of misleading the audience – they themselves genuinely believe in The Lie and will do anything to save The Lie, no matter what it takes. It’s sort of like taking a standard Dystopian/Sci-Fi in which the good guys win and save the world and everything is “made right” and flipping it on it’s head by having the characters not be the good guys – but the children of the “bad guys”. The genuine belief of the characters(and hopefully the audience) that what they’re doing is right is a driving part of the story, and the blurb has to show that belief – but also add small loopholes in it so that once the story is over, you can look back and see the clues. They can’t be obvious though.

Satire will be used somewhat, but not except in a broad term of irony in regards to themes and certain paradoxes.

So yeah… it’s hard to explain. I want it to be interesting, but vague. It has to sound peaceful, but not too peaceful. It has to sound like this is the right way for the world to go – even the “God-ordained” way, when it’s truly never been farther. But the audience can’t realize that till later in, so I need to make sure not to give it away(or it’ll ruin the novel).

Blurbs are difficult. XD
