superhero_musesHow goes the writing for everyone this week? I am inching along on the Big Bang, but I think I've gotten to the emotional meat of the story so it might be easier to dig in now! Other things are coming along nicely...
We've talked about coming up with titles and how that can be a challenge, how so about we share! What are the titles of your last three works (either WiPs or finished, whatever you like), why did you end up with them, and how much do you like them?
"When in Rome" is the space sex party story, and honestly I'm mostly just surprised I don't have a story with that title yet, it seemed pretty straightforward.
"Three Hotel Rooms" is kind of a bland title, but since the story (not even really a story, just a word-experiment) is the descriptions of three different empty hotel rooms with the contents being hints about what the characters are going through, it fits. :)
"Here's an Idea..." is maybe my favorite title so far--not because it's clever, but because the phrase works well in the story (a character says it whenever he has a particularly daring plan, and it comes up three times, and the last time it leaves implicit a whole crazy AU future) and makes for really nice pacing, I think.
Talk titles and other writing below!
