Worst six months of my life, Todd. Never thought I could spin that into gold. :)
Buffy ,'Lessons'
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Sail, DUDE. I love that.
Anyone feel like brainstorming titles?
Here's the gist: Young adult fiction. Sixteen-year-old girl with a legacy of witchcraft (and just beginning to play with her own power) brings her boyfriend back from the dead. Not treated comically; this is about the obligations that come with love, as well as a sort of metaphor for every girl discovering her identity and her power.
So ... titles? I'm thinking eerie, but not too OTT. Titles for books that have worked well recently are pretty short (Twilight, New Moon, Luxe, Crank, Glass, etc.) but there's room for some longer, more abstract titles, like A Great and Terrible Beauty.
Hit me! I hate working on a new idea without a title (even a placeholder one).
Some play on Euridicie, maybe? too too?
Hmmm. I'll think on that.
I can come up with a lot of cheesy bad titles but so far no good ones.
The Death Defiers
Turn Back the Hour Hand
Smoke and Substance
There's a whole bunch of traditional ballads about dead lovers.
OOh, that's a good idea, Dana.
And the Furies Wept (for the play on Euridice)
My Boyfriend's Back?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Miracleman ftw
