story titles

I started writing the stories and I so far I have done the first two. It was then that I started to wonder if each individual story should have a title. The overall book is going to be called Backyard Livestock Homestead. Originally, I planned on naming the days as they go, day 1 day 2, day 3, etc., but I feel like it would give each individual story more meaning if it had a title.
I have not worked BookSmart or InDesign yet because I don't know which one publishing site, lulu and Blurb, I want to use. I was leaning towards Lulu and I was going to work with InDesign, but I don't know how well the graphics and color come out with Lulu. BookSmart is the program Blurb uses, but I don't know what the quality of the actual book is going to be like. Without deciding this I can't start designing the book because I can't switch between programs. I think it's better to write my stories and have the perspective images ready before I begin putting the book together. I don't have any experience publishing books though so I'm not sure if this is the best thing to do.
As I think about my book I keep coming up with all theses themes and ideas that i want to flow throughout. Since i keep track of how much milk and how many eggs I collected each day I thought about having a small picture graph on each day to show the progress. I also thought about putting clocks at the start and end of the day. After all these different types of graphics I figured there should be a sample page in the beginning point out what everything is, like in encyclopedias.
Writing the single stories has actually turned out to be harder than I though it would be because I want each story to mean something and i don't want all of them to mesh together.
This week I'm going to write more stories and hopefully figure out which program and publisher I'm going to use.
