One day left . . .

swan_tower. . . in which to finish my March story. Will I make it?
Hard to say. The last line of tonight's writing was "We have a Plan" -- which is very nice for my characters, but I wish I knew what that plan is.
Total length estimate has been revised downward; it might even be shorter than that. Funny things often should not overstay their welcome.
They should, however, have titles. And I have no idea what to call this one. It isn't allowed to be "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," and "Dear Mom and Dad" (the current filename, because it's the first line of the text) is not a whole lot better, but everything I'm coming up with sounds too much like "Letter Found in a Chest Belonging to the Marquis de Montseraille Following the Death of That Worthy Individual." (In other words, most of my possibilities start with the phrase "Letters From.") Possibly we will have to go with something in the vein of "The Adventures of" and then figure out what to put after "of."
I hate being this close to ending a story, and still having no title for it.
Anyway. Enough D&D-style silliness for one night. Bedtime, and maybe when I wake up tomorrow I'll know what the characters think they're going to do about their problem.
