Packing Up?! What was I thinking? That's a horrible name. Forget I ever said that. At the moment, I'm thinking High Water Crossing would be a good title, but probably not for my NaNo novel! I can't imagine how or why I'd work water imagery into the story I'm thinking of. I also like the idea of using the word Chasing in the title. I definitely keep leaning towards -ing words.
I love the idea of having some line, reference, or motif that would show up in all my novels, like John Landis has supposedly included the line "See You Next Wednesday" in all his films. Hmm, maybe something will come out in the writing of this one. I do want to write a serious story, but also like being able to have some self-referential fun with it.
