Now that I have split my novel into two, I find myself struggling with a new title. I know what the novel is about — a power struggle over a community newspaper — but I don’t know what the call it. I have at least one strong idea, but I’m not 100% sure that I want to use it.
I have a naming convention for the rest of the novels in the series and I want to keep to it if I can, but….I dunno. The title I have makes it clear exactly what the story is about, even if it’s in an somewhat ironic manner.
The key issue is to just keep writing. I need to buckle down and write as quickly as possible. I can’t keep just drifting towards my goal, especially with the deadline I’ve given myself. I also need to focus on BOTH novels, not just the first one if I’m going to have any sort of chance of getting both novels finished by my hard deadline.
It will be interesting to see how things work out. In one way, things are moving really fast. In another, I have a real problem with daydreaming way, way too much which does tend to slow me down.
But I am pretty sure that I can have ONE novel done by my hard deadline of July 22. And, if I work REALLY HARD, I might have two done.
