I feel like I'm trying to write something bigger than my skills.

and erika, I *SO* feel like that sometimes. It's frustrating, but sometimes it's just a plateau.

Because books.
Glass Heart seems to be the new title for the sequel to Cold Kiss. I am incredibly underwhelmed. (My working title was Dark Stars, and it really grew on me, even in terms of theme. But it was deemed too "sci-fi." Um.)

I'm trying to write 1,200 words on something I can't get information - consistent information - on. Talked to three people, got three different answers to some details. Google isn't helping much. hmmm ... time to blather?

“Not dead yet!”
Huh, Amy-- I dunno, Glass Heart doesn't sound like much on the surface but it's the kind of title that could really sing with the right kind of cover. And they totally did right by you with COLD KISS, so...

I was reading Hoxton Handmade's blog and came across her post about the Ministry of Stories which is a children's writing program that Nick Hornby set up after being inspired by David Eggers 826 Valencia project in San Francisco. I love the shopfront!

Glass Heart sounds like a decent title to me.
I'm working on an experimental new first chapter to Cog, starting earlier than the current one. I'll have to see if I like it or not. I think once the opening is all figured out it should revise quickly. While there are many mistakes to correct and things to tweak, at the moment I don't have any big plot changes in mind.

Glass Heart sounds like a perfect title for a sequel to Cold Kiss. Cold becomes Glass, Kiss becomes Heart. It works.

That's what the marketing department thinks, I guess. Glad you guys don't think it sucks, anyway.

not your mom's socks.
I like the rhythm of it. I can hear "next, Terry Gross interviews author Amy Garvey, author of Cold Kiss, Glass Heart, and...".
