Got my writing done early, today! This because I am going to go out and do outrageous things, like talk to people in the real world.

At the moment, I'm still intrigued, though, by what my characters have been setting up behind my back. First Gaheris was all worried over some issues with Gawain, and then Cai stepped out and mirrored him, with his issues with Arthur. I didn't expect that.

Gawain remains clueless, though; it's only Gaheris and Bedwyr that realise there's parallels. Oh, characters.

(Still no sign of a title. I wish it was something you could go out and hunt: I wish that somewhere there was a big cave, called, say, "The Cave of Prospective Titles", and you could go there with a butterfly net and catch one, and it would know best about what your work should be titled, and you could accept its professional judgement.)

I would love such a cave. Like, love and pet and adore. I am so appallingly bad at titles.

Hmmm.

When raiding poetry doesn't work for me, I typically turn to some thematic element--last year's NaNoWriMo ended up being dubbed simply Mistwalkers, after the vocation of the protagonists. So maybe mine some of the (billions of) thematic elements in Arthurian myth and then make something mysterious out of it? Or noir-themed, if you'd like.

Someone needs to make a title generator like one of those Seventh Sanctum character generators. Except then I would spend hours refreshing it and noting down the plot bunnies.
