It seemed perfect (at least at the time) Maybe by the end of the story it will be something totally different! <BR/><BR/>I did think of a title for something that I have stewing on the backburner, waiting patiently for me to finish the first ms. <BR/><BR/>Like Jody, I've heard publishers change them anyway, so maybe we shouldn't fall in love with one so soon.Sherrinda Ketchersidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581676437345249386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-6972738024110726402009-04-07T05:25:00.000-05:002009-04-07T05:25:00.000-05:00It's a love/hate relationship with me and titles. ...It's a love/hate relationship with me and titles. I also have a lot of them typed in a document on my computer - but none of them seem very appropriate for the current books I have in the fire. When I can't find a title - it drives me absolutely bonkers! I do not like referring to my current ms as my WIP. I'd much rather have a title for it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>PS How awesome that you got in contact with the guy who wrote that song!!Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-57622643215421144032009-04-06T18:08:00.000-05:002009-04-06T18:08:00.000-05:00jody - Title Therapy! lol! i don't know if edito...jody - Title Therapy! lol! i don't know if editors/agents change the title most of the time, or not. i hope not, because i really like some of my titles...esp. play on words. <BR/><BR/>cindy - your welcome! thanks for visiting. you'll have to come back for Treatment Tuesdays and Thursday Therapeutic Thoughts! :)Jeannie Campbell, LMFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958943404601029395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-92227321100574328842009-04-06T16:28:00.000-05:002009-04-06T16:28:00.000-05:00I usually try to come up with a title first becaus...I usually try to come up with a title first because I hate to refer to my WIP as "untitled" or "my WIP". Most of the time, though, I can't think of anything and end up naming it something ridiculous just to get going. I hate coming up with titles. I tend to stick to something safer and unfortunately probably rather cliche. Thanks for the tips, though. I need them!Cindy R.

Please! :)<BR/><BR/>I did such a horrible job coming up with titles for one of my Genesis entries that I realized too late that I'd sent it with two different titles; the one in the entry didn't match the one I'd picked on the application! Oops! Thankfully, they take the one out of the entry for the judging.<BR/><BR/>I'm just hoping the title isn't crucial to grabbing the attention of agents and editors. Don't they end up changing what we pick most of the time anyway? Let's hope they do on mine!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-19378862284423141492009-04-06T12:57:00.000-05:002009-04-06T12:57:00.000-05:00I don't know.

Sometimes I get nothing but the title, typically when it's a summary/message type title, and I have to figure out the story.PatriciaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572087157439187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300538873170007593.post-46990193413278517502009-04-06T12:33:00.000-05:002009-04-06T12:33:00.000-05:00I love quotes!
