hi! i just want to say, there will always be more jams where you can submit and get feedback. it seems great to me that you felt motivated by this jam to just keep sitting down and writing. that is hard, and a lot of people never do it.
i wanted to suggest a name kernel, since casting can also mean going backward or forward. Casting Our Eyes to the Sky. Facing Forward, Casting Back. if you have particular words or phrases you like, try site searching Project Gutenberg to see if anything catches your eye. i just searched "cast" in a book i already have open haha (i swear i don't work for them) and here are some examples
- forecasts his future to any considerable extent
- cast about for some little-known similar piece
- cast in more pleasant places
- cast out of Mary Magdalene
- forecast its occurrence in our world as we foretell eclipses and transits of Venus
- introduce them broadcast, sowing them by our waysides
- The pale cast of thought sicklies over everything.
here are some of my favorite book titles in this vibe, in case they inspire you
- How High We Go in the Dark
- How Far the Light Reaches
- The Book of Strange New Things
- Future Home of the Living God
- The Scourge Between Stars
- Living with a Wild God
- The World Cannot Give
- A History of Wild Places
- Hazards of Time Travel
- To Rise Again at a Decent Hour
- Cage of Stars
- A Beginning at the End
- The Man Without a Shadow
- Before and Again
- The Sense of an Ending
- Madhouse at the End of the Earth
- Self Portrait with Nothing
this is the kind of thing that helps me get my brain going, so no offense taken at all if it's not right for you. but also, aren't those titles great? i'm confident you can come up with something you really love too.
