Alternative and Quite Terrible Titles for LARK RISING (aka TAGGED!)
K.E. Ormsbee, author of the lovely, clever THE WATER & THE WILD recently tagged me in the Terrible Titles Challenge. I happen to love K.E.'s book (coming April '15), with its gorgeous cover and obviously terrific title. BUT I must admit, her terrible titles are quite awesome (check them out on her blog).
The challenge: To thumb (or scroll) through book (or ms), stopping at eight random spots--what words are landed upon become the titles. I'm thinking this is how I'll pick all my titles from now on.
Without further ado, these are LARK's alternatives:
1. A Raven Huge and Glossy
2. More Was Offered Here
3. That Strange Whorl
4. We Should Go
5. Ignoring the Burn
6. A Small Ignorance
7. I Wonder Too
8. Trimming Haricots
And now I tag the following authors--who just happened to be the most recent four on my Twitter messages: Amber Lough, Melody Maysonet, Kerry O'Malley Cerra, and Kim Ligget. TAG! YOU'RE IT!
