I almost didn’t post because I didn’t have a whole lot to say. I already talked about my sub-plot issue on my Friday post.I haven’t been writing because 1) I’m proofreading for a client and 2) I’m still plotting another book. I feel like plotting, planning, etc. is still part of writing, so I’m okay with that. I have a novella written under my other pen name almost ready to publish. The cover is almost done, and I have just a few corrections to make. But I can’t think of a TITLE!!! I have the title for the series this starts, but not the actual book. Titles are so hard for me unless the title comes to me, and I write the story around the title. That’s happened a couple of times, once with Soul of a Vampire and again with Fire Wizard. But most of the time, I’m struggling with that title. And since it’s my first mystery, it’s more of a challenge than my paranormal romances. It’ll come to me. I must have patience!
And since this post is pretty boring, for your viewing pleasure, here’s Willow. 🙂
One Cup of Murder To Go
LOL Just kidding.
I can’t wait to see the cover! And cute cat. 😀
You’re so bad. LOL
Your title will come to you. 🙂 I’m happy things are going well for you.
I know the title will come. But it just kills me when everything is almost ready EXCEPT the title. Oh, rats, I just realized I’ve got to write the dreaded blurb. LOL
Awwe!!! What a cutie!!
and titles are tough things. They have to make a statement in few words and be true to the story. I’m sure the title will come to you. 🙂
That’s my female fur baby, Willow. I’ve had pictures of my boy, Oz, on here, too. I love my kitties.
I’m going to really be thinking hard about that title today. My cover artist can’t finish until I have it.
Plotting is a CRITICAL part of writing. Don’t mark yourself down for it!
Have you tried meandering through http://www.bookwire.com/ for title ideas? That is the search engine of Thomas Bowker ISBNs. It may help.
Best of luck! You’ll ace it.
It’s all a part of it, isn’t it? 🙂
I haven’t heard of that site. I’ll take a look.
Willow is adorable.
She’s really sweet, too. She even won over my husband, and he doesn’t like cats. LOL
