dragonlady7Z, in his usual way, has been being helpful to me, knowing that I want to resume work on my novel. He has helped me, in his own particular way, by aiding in my search for a title for one of my novels.
His original suggestion, Space Ninjas In Space, while charming, has the drawback that at the moment, none of the novels I am actively considering working on (nice long phrase there, eh? yes, I'm getting so much done) actually involves space at all.
So, he helpfully adapted the novel's title.
The Novel-In-Progress Formerly Known As BarbariansNovel has been retitled.
Horse Ninjas.
This is nice because it could easily be one of a series, or indeed the chapters could be titled similarly-- you know, Horse Ninjas Go To The Mall, Horse Ninjas Learn About Sharing, Horse Ninjas Vs. Space Ninjas-- I could be sitting on a franchise here.
So, henceforth, The One About The Dude With The Spear And The Chick Who's A Spy will be known as simply HN.
In other news, I think everyone where I work should be shot. With a cold-water-laden squirtgun.
To the ear.
Urgh. They all piss me off, except some of them, who also piss me off. BLEAH.
Z keeps telling me about the wacky hijinx where he works and I am increasingly jealous that he has a grown-up job. I've only ever had the one grown-up job and I hated it, but maybe it was just that one. Maybe I should try again.
Ha. Maybe, if I had a resume that had... well, stuff on it, besides the non-grown-up jobs.
Well, shit.
