Title for NaNo

So I've been processing my book for NaNo for the last couple days. I haven't had too much time to sit and stew about what I'll write, but I have been reading the NaNo creator's book No Plot No Problem. It's sort of good. Things I know already, but they're put in a way that is funny and helpful. His chapters are making me feel better about the little that I have prepared.

Of course he says that you needn't write total substance for NaNo, but in a way I feel like, why not? If I'm going to put in an hour or two every day on this book, I want it to be something I can be proud of when I'm done and not something that contains ninja koalas in pink capes (his characters, not mine).

Also, I am so glad to have more competition this year in the form of the Woman and J. Brett last year really kept me on my toes because he was ahead of me for quite a while. And now I've learned that my cousin will also be participating. Hmmm...I don't know that NaNo is the right place for tentacle monsters and zombie sex, but then if not in NaNo, then where?

In all sincerity, I bet the punk will finish 50,ooo words by the end of November. He has that kind of drive. Also, he hates to lose. So bring it on, punk! Bet I finish before the 30th.

Oh, my whole point in blogging is my title for my book. Duh. I was thinking about how Simon can't be trusted by adults to tell the truth about everything and they won't believe him when he says that Troy is not Troy. So I'm calling in, somewhat predictably, Cry Wolf. I googled the title and it has been used for two adult thrillers and one kids' book, so I think it's okay that I use it, too.

It's not "Crying Wolf."
