Titles

         I have a title for this year's Nanowrimo entry. But I don't like the one I threw on last year's. All this time and I haven't come with a better one yet.

         In both cases, the story was in my mind and thoroughly worked out in advance. I didn't plan on doing either one for Nanowrimo, but the timing just worked out. I don't know how John Grisham does two or more novels a year, since it takes me one year to get a first draft. (But then he doesn't have to hold an outside job any more, or take care of his home every day.) So I guess I need outside help with the title.

         Basically, it's about starting over. There has been upheaval on every level, government, business, financial, military, family. Death of children has occurred, and now a marriage betrayal is a part of it. Yet they find a relatively safe haven in a rural community and start again with some crazy old ladies and some farm neighbors. From a technological modern big city life to an agrarian, simple life, maybe they can start again. More dangers and tragedies occur, but there are also signs of hope and community restructuring. Can one couple survive as a couple? There's no garantee, no smooth happy ending.

         What kind of title should it have? Starting Over is too bland, like a self-help book. I called it While We Were Healing, but that's totally wrong. They weren't healing. At the end, they are surviving, but not renewed. I'll consider any suggestions. You might have one that gives me a hint of what I want. Feel free to comment.
