Contest-y goodness
I thought y'all might be interested in the list I sent to Anne a while back. For a week or so, I was big time into thinking up possible names for TNFKaGT (The Novel Formerly Known as Good Touch). I couldn't work on anything else, really, until I came up with the definitive list. There's my single-mindedness again.
So here's what I came up with:
Boneyard Boogie is my favorite. What's yours? I'm thinking of doing this as a contest. Here's the deal. You pick ONE favorite (I know, it's gonna be hard to narrow it down, but you can do it!), and tell me what that is in comments. The person who gets it right (selects the title that marketing decides on as well) will receive an ARC of Grimspace, well before its release date. If more than one person picks the right title, they ALL get ARCs. And if marketing makes up their own title, and doesn't pick one from my list, then I'll draw a random name for the winner. Sound fun? All you have to do is... choose.
There can be only one (favorite).
PS - my special loop-only contest starts today, but you can't play if you're not a member. Isn't it time you signed up?
So here's what I came up with:
- Object Lesson
- Vicious Gifted
- Dread Naught
- Dead Man's Merengue

- Bred in the Bone
- Phantom Fire(s)

I'll leave it stickied at the top of the blog and new posts will come under it, so there may be tons of entries by the time I find out.
Sweet, I liked it for that reason too. Carrie, that's one of my faves as well. I'm partial to all the "bone" ones.
Zombies. Doing the mambo.
What an awesome and somewhat awkward visual.
I was going to choose number four but I uh, couldn't pronounce the last word. =/

I have no idea if it fits the book or not, but that doesn't really factor into marketing's decision. ;-)
Can I toss the titles up in the air and make some new ones? Like Eternal Wrath? Or Wild Magic?
Or, Ooh!---
Throw the Zombie
;-p
So many of these titles suggest a different sort of book, I'm curious as to what this thing is actually about. I'm half-tempted to offer to review it for Front Street Reviews, just so I can find out!
Happy TT13 :P
(John Donne has a poem with bright hair wrapped around a bone that just makes me shudder, it's so good)
Salt & Bone
Bred in the Bone
Boneyard Boogie
Throw the Bones
Good stuff.
would i pickup a book with that title knowing nothing about it - yup.
Which of the titles has the most to do with the content of the book? is my next question.
Third. I like Burning Dreams the best.
Uhm, who knows? Heh. They all have something to do with it, at least peripherally.
Anyway, I'm going with Burning Dreams.
thanks for the contest!
