Accountability, author's timecard, word count written, feeling lonely out there?

Found it. Found it. Thank God. Two years and it comes now. *grinning.g

I either find titles early or not at all. The ones I find early are good ones. Otherwise... no. A year on this novel, and the best I can do is "Little Black Box". Since music figures prominently in this story, and in what might become a series of them, I thought I could title the novel the same thing as the most important song that plays, which would've made this one "Black Days". Or the title could be whatever item is causing the mayhem, which is "Little Black Box".
I figure with any luck, if an agent likes it, maybe their brain will come up with something better.
Today's goal, 72k words and getting into the damn basement like they've been trying to do for the last, oh, 10k words.
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Oh, titles.
The problem the current one has is that the closest thing to a decent sounding title I have is a massive spoiler for nearly the ending.
Kali:
This is the first time I've made wordcount early. Got my 2k count in, and they're in the basement. Yay! There was much rejoicing. Rachel's had her moment of character growth, the allies are allies again, there's nothing left to do but throw down. So I may go back to writing today and start in on the big battle scene tonight. We'll see! Time for a late lunch and a break, then we'll see what my brain feels like doing with this. 72k. If I can't get at least 8k out of two witches, four werewolves, a catholic priest, and a vampire then I don't deserve to finish this book.
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
and three thousand more words today, followed by a break, as the new job wants me in signing contracts tomorrow morning therefore I need not to stay up writing to 3 am tonight.
The target was 30kwords in 9 days. I have done 32kwords in 4 days. I am also pleased to still have two chapters and a not-epilogue to go, so. Aiming for one more chapter tomorrow afternoon, and the rest... the day after (hey, I'm between jobs, I have no clue what day of the week it is.)
