[writing] title fun
Sep. 23rd, 2009 11:36 pmThe other day I while writing my current projects post, I was hit upside the head with a couple YA novel titles. This is unusual, because the title is generally one of the last things I know, and I'm really crappy at them. This particular series is not like that at all, not only does the series have a title, but the first three books have titles as well, and taglines, and mini-blurbs. It's freaky.
So I wrote all this down in my ideas file and moved on. Then today I woke up with an idea for the first book, and when I went to make a note of it, I ended up with 1000 words covering the first chapter and some specific outlining.
So yeah. I accidentally wrote 1000 words of vampire cheerleaders today, instead of the shapeshifter paranormal romance I'm supposed to be writing. Oops.
I still find the titles super cute. I keep cracking myself up with them.
Now to get a bit done on the shapeshifters paranormal romance, like I was supposed to do.
