Writing Update

If you are wondering as to why I have not posted in a while my computer has not been working very well. At this point I have to resort to using my iPad if I want to post anything online for your reading enjoyment. I finally got my nano novel backed up and so now I am going to try and de-fragment my computer and see if that works, wish me luck!
Now, just because I cannot type on my laptop does not mean I have not been writing or working on my novel. I have this app on my iPad that is called "A Novel Idea" and I have found it very useful for organizing my thoughts and ideas lately, even though I have not been able to work directly on my novel. I have written up a couple of character profiles and done a little profiling with the entire novel as well. Also, I have been trying to think up a title for my Nano novel as I still have not given it an official name. Part of my problem is that I cannot decide if I want to be a prequel to "Dreamscape" (that is the working title of my baby) or if I want it to be completely separate.
Here are a few of my title ideas (keep in mind that my novel is based off sleeping beauty):

~Not a Cinderella Story (this was the working title for a while)
~Faeries (I don't really like this one but I was thinking that it would go well if I called my baby "Demons")
~Pirates, fairies, and normal people (this one would have to be completely separate from "Dreamscape" because it sounds just to quirky and fun to be associated with a more mature story.)
~Something sleeping beauty-ish (again, only if this novel is stand alone)
~It has been told before... (don't really like this one, not sure why I have it written down.)
~Meridian (the name of the kingdom in the novel, if I were to go with this title I would call my baby "Taryn".)

Those are my ideas so far and I do not feel particularly happy with any of them. I think that I will need to keep searching those creative waters for ideas.
