Times are a changing...

Hello folks, I've just started work on Chapter 26 of the novel (that's the second last chapter for anyone who is counting) so I should be in a position to get back to some good old fashioned short story writing once the first draft is finished. So let's say December. Fingers crossed.
Also, I've decided that I'm just going to have change the name of this blog and the facebook page. Fighting Talk is way too similar to Fighting Words, that's the brilliant creative writing for kids group founded by Roddy Doyle. Every time a hear Fighting Words mentioned on the radio, I sort-of cringe at the similarity and feel like I just plain stole the name - even though I didn't. So, the old name is dead, long live the new name. Whatever name that ends up being.
I'm currently kicking around a few name ideas -  I want something catchy but not verbose, explanatory but also gritty and 'real'. So, if anyone has any brilliant ideas, please, for goodness sake, bring them.
Cheers
Andy
