As is so often the way whilst outlining a novel, I today discovered that We Are Watching — the outline for which is now progressing very nicely — no longer wants to be We Are Watching. As the various threads started to unravel a phrase within the story began to stand out more.
The Yesterday Tree.
It somehow seems to more accurately represent the way the story is going. Life, the past and its continuance into the present and future — age-old wisdom. I think I like it.

Wow, amazing title name. I really like that, has some sort of effect when you say it.
Cheers, Damian!
It was actually one of those phrases that just came out of nowhere — originally as a chapter title. It resonated so much with what I now want the novel to be, however, and stayed with me so strongly that I just knew it had to be the main title.
Yggdrasil, sort of thing? Maybe you could add squirrel motifs…
A little like Yggdrasil (can you believe my voice recognition software actually got that?!), but not in any overt, obvious way. I won’t be referring to Yggdrasil itself but the tree will have, I think, a quasi-mystical element to it.
I don’t think the squirrel motifs will fit, actually… and I’d only end up writing about where they keep their nuts, so it’s probably best that I avoid the subject
