I have a title! (And a plot)
I finally have a title and loose plot for NaNo! The plot comes from an idea I had a while back but never developed. I'd been reading fairy tales, and histories of fairy tales, and was thinking about Beauty and the Beast. And I came up with the idea of a man who had been cursed to never tell the truth until he could convince the woman he loved -- who loved him back -- to marry him. And the obvious love interest is a strong, courageous woman who dislikes dealing with a compulsive liar. But I want the woman to be the main character, and I want to complicate things more, so she's on a quest to save the man she loves. Or thinks she loves.
This is much more obviously romantic than most things I write, but I figure I should try it sometime.
I came up with the title, "Nightshade and Thyme", after looking at a list of flower meanings. "Nightshade" means "truth" and "thyme" means "strength and courage". I'll probably throw in more flower meanings in the novel somewhere. Hrm, maybe as chapter titles...
