Over in rasfc I asked whether I should call the book Interface or Araceli's Wish. Basically, neither title went over very well. Though I have to say that I am not going to be convinced that Araceli is too exotic a name. The other problem, that it conveys froofy girl high fantasy, is more serious: I don't think that the froofy girl high fantasy reader is going to like it. And people thought that Interface was just not as creepy sounding as I thought it was. But Chris Dollin said I might call it Conduit and I think he could be right.
A number of people thought Gratitude sounded good, but I have a serious problem with that: the book doesn't, after all, turn out to be very much about gratitude. Though I don't know what it is about. Friendship, maybe?
Spent the day applying for two jobs, buffing the grout, and mostly making a Blue Power Ranger costume for Frank. Yes. He's 25 and he wants to be the Blue Power Ranger for Halloween -- it's monochromatic! It's silly!
I'm not going to go to Nevada this weekend, after all. It's too big a journey for me, and I have too much elkse to do, and nobody else seems to be going for just one day (which is what I could do). Instead, I'm going to try to arrange a call-out-the-vote party.
I have not written today, but I have thought about the Christmas in Watsonville chapter, and also all about Tia Citlali, who speaks Mixtec, it turns out, and therefore, so does our guy, when he talks to her: which raises her suspicions: "Where did you learn to speak Mixtec?" "Here." This happened before, in Chinatown, and made the shopkeepers grumpy.
