name the sequel to Falling
I was in emails with a couple of friends, asking for help when it occurred to me -- I have an untapped resource in my blog readers. My focus has shifted to Falling, but before I can write the sequel, I need a title. That's how I work. First the title, and then the story follows.

Here's the deal. I'd like to stick with one word that captures the essence of the book. (I know, tough one, isn't it?) An "F" word would be best, but only if it fits. I'll go with any single word title that sparks my imagination, however. If you aren't sure what Falling is about, you can find a blurb and excerpt here. It's an edgy sci-fi novel with romantic undertones, if that helps any.

What's in it for you? Well, if you come up with the title for the second book, I'll put your name on the dedication page and give you a cool $20 gift certificate from Amazon. Not bad for one word, huh? All right, my creative wonders of the world, put your suggestions in comments. Feel free to offer as many ideas as you want.

Fissure

Or, you could always go with 'farfegnugen' I don't write sci-fi. Are you allowed to make up the language as well as the world? :)

Farfegnugen is not a made-up word! It's German and it means:

a grind used in Aggressive Inline Skating. It is similar to the frontside and backside grinds and still uses both feet sliding in the h-blocks. In some areas it is known as a 'Shifty'

Damn. Someone else took Flying. Okay, how about:

Floating
Failing
Flailing
Festering
Fostering
Foaming
Frosting
Fasting
Faking
Fainting
Faining
Feigning
Flaunting
Forgetting
and
Feinting

...to cover some F-ing words. Oh, yeah, Fucking is an F-ing word, but I figure they wouldn't let you use it. :)

As for the non-F-ing words:

Forgotten
Fallen

Dammit, Annie!! This shit keeps popping up in my head when I'm trying to do other things!!

So, if you don't like Fallen, that others have mentioned, then here it is-

There. Done. Now, I'm off to do a brain scrub.
