So you’re finally finished writing it – the thing that has taken up all of your free time for the past two years (or more), the monkey on your back that wouldn’t let آپ sleep, that had آپ pulling out your pen and paper while on vacation with your family because The Idea came to you…
Well, you’re finished. آپ want to print it out, slap on a title, and send it off.
Hold up, there partner! Pause, breathe, put the the manuscript down. Easy! There آپ go….
What’s the big deal with a title?
Everything! It’s the first thing that a potential reader will see, the line that will either catch an editor’s attention یا send it straight to the trash can. Just as your name represents you, the عنوان of your book must be representative and catchy for your novel.
The good, the bad, and the ugly…    
There are three distinct groups of titles.
The first is the good: the ones that catch attention, make a reader pick the book up, scan the front, turn it over and read the back, and then on to the checkout stand. Examples: Empress, Boiling Point, Crown of Thorns, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Feast for Crows.
The bad: have a hit and miss chance of grabbing a reader, with good enough cover art and some fantastic quotes from the New York Times یا Publisher’s Weekly, they may be read. They probably won’t be the first book a reader picks up, but it’s possible. Examples: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, War of the Gods, Secrets of Droon: The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet, Maximum Ride: the Angel Experiment.
Then the ugly: get the response “how did this ever get onto this shelf?” “What was the editor/author thinking?” Examples: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, The Adventures of شارک Boy and Lava Girl…
So how do آپ name it?
Unfortunately, while there is a plethora of baby-name کتابیں flooding the market and internet, there is no “novel-name book” for authors. So, آپ must be creative. Which really shouldn’t be that hard – hell, آپ wrote a book, didn’t you?
Coming up with the name of your novel should be a process started at the same time آپ write the firs paragraph, and honestly, will and should go on until you’re done with your final edit. It’s not an easy task – parents may argue and pine over it for nine months – why should your naming process be any different?
Following are several tips to help آپ come up witht the ideal name for your “baby.” These are merely brainstorming techniques to hopefully help something click in that creative cavity آپ have sitting between your shoulders:
Make a list
1. the names of your main characters
2. the major places in your book
3. any special talismans/objects that play a specific/important role (ie. The Sword of Shanara)
4. creatures, animals, aliens, names
Your plot
1. what is the point of your book?
2. is there a journey? To where? For why?
3. are آپ writing about a deeper meaning?
4. can آپ tie in your book with current events یا مقبول topics? (ie the Davinci Code)
5. what are your characters trying to do?
Google is your best friend
1. تلاش for pictures of a theme, character, creature, place, etc. that آپ feel represents your book. You’ll come across some cool (and weird) things, and may give آپ direction.
2. see what others writing about similar topics are using for titles. Make sure your عنوان isn’t too close to another’s.
3. get some مزید backstory on an item, relic, place, یا animal in your story. Again, think muse…
Have fun
1. play up on words and items in your book (ie One of our newest کتابیں due out اگلے summer is “Of Quills and Kings,” in which the villan is a demonic and sadistic hedgehog that overthrows the crown…)
2. be witty. آپ are trying to grab science fiction/fantasy/horror/etc fans, not collegiate professors that enjoy spending all of their waking hours with their pet rock. Uh…
3. be original. آپ want to stand out, but don’t be too off-beat that آپ scare people away.

Chapter 27
        Creepy doesn’t even begin to describe
    “The drowning man? Seriously creepy, considering how she died.” Jess said, shivering. “They’ve got to be the number one suspects now.”
    “It probably wasn’t all of them, just a few, یا maybe even one.” Cadence said. “Think is, Dorothy was loved سے طرف کی everyone, and in that vision everyone wanted to be her favorite, what gives?”
    “What?”

    The smell of young love in the morning
    You’d all be happy to know that I never buried a certain Meredith Baxter, but I did accidentally hit her during our lovely game of والی بال fifteen times.
    “Hey JONES! Watch it!” She yelled furiously at me.
    “Oh sorry, I didn’t give a had enough smack,” I shrug as I put on my most innocent face.
    Meredith glared at me but کہا nothing more.
    Don’t آپ just love the feeling of having the last word?...

Chapter Eight

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE MULTIPLE LIVES یا LIVE FOREVER. -Erica

      I was rudely thrown in a miniature room. He didn't say much when he lugged me here. Although, I could sense others nearby but when I looked there were no ghost یا anyone near. I had finally gotten rid of the feeling to only have it come back again. This time I saw who it was. "Erica?" A shimmery figure exposed itself to me. A little surprise but not as surprise as Erica who was now flickering on and off like a light bulb.
      "Who are آپ and why did آپ attack me?" This Erica was not the one I remembered from...

Chapter Twelve
 
      "This just in," announced anchorman Douglass. "Some new insight on the Dalton murder case has just been revealed. Not only have they discovered the real killer they also have a CD of the killer admitting to the crime. Although, they will not go public with the names and other crucial details we still keep faith for the Dalton parents as they go through this awful time. Back to آپ Joe."
      Dakota stared her tv with astonishment. She had just leave the jailhouse and arrived ہوم to find her parents watching the news. Not only was she surprised, she was also impressed...

I've had the time of my life
We were comin and goin
But I told myself,
Kid, things are gonna be alright.

Things were hard,
Things were mighty difficult,
Things were strange,
But I kept my head through it all

Boy I survived...
And what a mess I've made
At least I made it through alive
Gosh, unexpectedly, it was the time of my life

When I thought
I could not text and party all night long
When I thought
No one's gonna keep me down

The strange life
The awesome life
Just comin and goin
It's weird how it is

One day, it's like "Awesome!"
And the اگلے دن it's like "I wish I was dead"
Life's just always strange
But I've...

Chapter Three

THE TRUE MYSTERY IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE BUT WHAY HAPPENED AFTER DEATH. ARE آپ STILL ALIVE, DO آپ TRANSFER INTO A NEW BODY, یا WHAT? -EMMA

      Sophie didn't arrive ہوم until late that evening. That was so like her. She was such a party girl that she assumed that she could دکھائیں up whenever she pleased. I was getting tired of that. I really needed her today but she was too busy having fun and being social. I had spent the rest of the دن painting a new canvas of a stormy دن with wind, rain, and lightening. It turned out beautiful.
      Sophie came into the basement...

I've been written
The painful truth,
Just two days ago,
When I was...betrayed.

He walked away from me
He threw me down in the sand
Like I was some little doll
Of little importance.

It was a scary thought
To think,
Of all those years...
When he took me in
Now he threw me down and that's that

I'm not a paper doll
So I will not be thrown down again
Cuz I am not a puppet
No one will control me with strings

I am invincible
I am an individual
No one shall make me suffer
Though I must cry sometimes....

Don't سوئنگ, جھول me سے طرف کی my head
Don't make me lose my mind
I don't want to destroy you
But I will, if آپ destroy me.

Chapter 4
    Something fishy
    I had the perfect excuse to go back to the station, after my parents rash behavior I would need to have an apology at the ready. I mean, if آپ fight in the police station be glad آپ weren’t arrested.
    I entered the police station, looking for anyone similar. I felt a tap on my shoulder and whirled around to find the boy I was looking for.
    Cadence.

No matter how much آپ wish for مزید it happens like the گھنٹہ glass time runs out and you'll lung for more.

With that time your ideas that others may know them as sweet they run out and leave people wanting more.

We song writers, novelists, story writers and poets will all leave our adience want so much more. The reason? It's because of our massive creatively, our unique style and tenchquie it's what drives us to a certain point as of where we'll keep our audience entertained. While inventors may lose their touch after contrast copies from the same old ideas being modefiyed we have our minds being put to the test سے طرف کی our viewers. After all they matter most their who we write for right?

I woke up cold, tired and sore. I moved a little and got a face full of sunshine, I reached for the curtains and for my quilt. I opened one eye a bit to find them, but when I looked I wasn't in my bed, یا even in my house. I was in the forest on the cold, hard ground. “What happened?” I کہا out loud. I stretched. “Ouch.” My back and shoulders were killing me, I touched my shoulder blade and winced. It was scratched and the skin was torn. I heaved myself off the ground and nearly fell back down. “What is going on?” I stood there for what felt like eternity, when I heard something....

Chapter Five

Mason met Olivia at his پسندیدہ restaurant. It was a perfect دن for a رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا date. The sun was shinny, the clouds were extra white, and the گھاس seemed greener then ever. If only she knew that this was a رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا date. He signed the last autograph for today as Olivia sat across from him at their round table. Her hair was curly and in a ponytail. Then she wore a red dress with a thick, black بیلٹ, پٹی in the middle. His سیکنڈ impression of her was still the same, gorgeous. This تاریخ was going pretty well but Cassidy dresses better. Mainly because Cassidy is rich but he didn't want to...

    Colorful styles and pictures to doom
    After that class I found out that Cali and I shared all the same classes. And hallelujah for that, because she’s been giving me advice and tips throughout the beginning of the day, and I stuck to her like glue.
    The مزید I got to know I realized that she wasn’t all that perky, it’s just in the morning because she has too much coffee. سے طرف کی the time lunch rolled around I was practically shaking....

Every weekend, I sleep late, like every normal teenager. Problem is, my annoying little brother wakes up at like what? 6:30 every morning? Yeah. And he dumps a bucket of water filled with ice in it on my face if I don't wake up at 6:30. What a nuisance. Otherwise, if I go hangout with my دوستوں before he gets up. he says, "Mrs. Mellark! Going out with your boyfriend?" Yeah, I like Peeta, as a matter of fact, if آپ didn't know before. Personal opinion, you'll live with it. What a strange little kid. No idea where he learned what a boyfriend was, but fine. The major thing that makes me mad...

Yo, everyone. Chase here. آپ know, Jake's been acting all strange lately like he's hiding something from me. And I don't like it. I don't see how anyone would. I thought we were a team. And I thought he کہا that I was just as great as he was. Now, this proves that he was totally lying. What a fraud. Okay, I found out something today that might be useful to the two of us. Well, that is, if Jake even wants to work with me. I saw his light on yesterday night. Face it, he's probably researching something about the mutant serpent. Am I right? Well, yes, I thought so. آپ know, I am telepathic....

I walk into
The Fields of Sorrow
Once again.
Why do I walk there
Almost everyday?

I stroll along the grasses
Thinking
Bearing a horrible pain.
I think of the world around me
And how much they have inspired me.

I start to cry once again.
All my teachers
All my friends,
They have always stood سے طرف کی me,
When things went wrong.

I want a chance to repay them,
To دکھائیں them that...
Their work was useful.
To دکھائیں them that
I am truly thankful.

Why do I have to leave them then
Now?
No, now's not a good time.
But I know it was not intended
That I leave them now.

I want to دکھائیں all those people
That they have been
The change of my life,
That they have made my life so much
Better,
That they were the flames
In the darkness.

Dear Mother,

Yes I know what آپ did to me

You threw me down the well

All because I made your life a living hell

Mommy, Mommy can't آپ see?

I'm your little adopted baby girl

If آپ didn't want me, why did آپ adopt me

Yes Mommy, I know

I, Samarra مورگن knows.

The tape that is cursed

Is nothing worse

Than what I had experienced

Why didn't I ever sleep?

Because the horses kept me up at night

Because آپ let Daddy keep me in the barn.

I have hurt others

I have killed others

I may have even sickened your horses

I bet آپ loved them مزید than آپ loved me

Yes, I know I am a freak

Because I am afraid of water, so...
