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.

****2 Weeks Ago*****
I woke up thinking how this was just another usual دن
"Sweetie, we need to talk." my mom کہا seriously while her dragon Vinictus flew around her head
"I didn't do anything wrong, آپ don't have any proves."
My dad stopped me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"We kn..what proves?" He asked with a serious face.
"Nothing. What did آپ need me?" I tried to change the subject, Dia who just stopped chasing Emmas dragon looked at me.
"Well..we got a latter this morning.." My mom started.
"And it's an Invitation." My dad continued.
"An Invitation?" I was getting interested in it,...

half a سال پہلے my friend wrote a story called Vamp out ,but after receiving some mean تبصرے she gave up on it and when I asked to do a revamp she agreed.




I have,a pretty much normal life, well not quite as normal as آپ think.
You see I'm a Vampire. All of آپ who just started running in panic آپ can relax. I don't kill people, I'm Vegeterian. I almost never drink blood. When I need to drink blood I drink animal blood. I live in the UK, to be مزید precise in London. Maybe آپ want to know how I look like. I'm a normal girl, who's a Vampire. I have long curly brown-blond hair and blue eyes...

"Sethus!" William shouted as he neared the double doors of the sky-scraper. Militiamen stood in a line at attention, modified rifles in their hands. They were garbed in the same black uniforms, armor, and helmets as William and his troops. One of them stepped out of line. He wore a red band around his upper arm.

"Sir?" the youth said.

"Command your men to stand down and retreat."

Without arguing یا hesitating, Sethus shouted the orders to his men and ran through the double doors. William waited until every man was inside before he followed.

Civilians in business suits were rushing out the back...

When I see you,I don't know what to say
I think of you,just about everyday
When your around hysterical,it's unpredictable...with me,I try to be serious,buts it's no use...

(Chorus) When I look at you,I turn away,When I hear your name,I try a different way, (fast) Your smile is alluring,and your eyes always occuring on my mind, If I explain I'll go insane,so I'll keep my mind blank,The angels are jealous about آپ from up above,and though آپ dont know it;you always give me La-la love,yeah,La-la love

When I sing,to me,you play the music,Im intrigued-sing with me,oh oh
When I dance آپ آپ dance too,In everything I do,To me,Your here,so what Im having fantasies,who cares?

(Chorus)

My دل is pounding,No sound surrounds me,exept your velvety voice...I'll say it once again,Your the موسیقی in my head,I can't build up to it any other way,Ive already done as much as I may...

(Chorus) LA,la,la,la,la آپ give me...love

*So I really don't know where this came from, it just popped in my head. It's a bit sad, but I hope آپ enjoy. I dedicate this to all kind people and people who are having hard times. Please don't copy, تبصرے and شائقین would be lovely*
These are tears, tears that I cry
    They leak down my face, from my raining eye
    The pain, how it hurts, oh if it wasn’t so
    My life could be easy, my life could be nice
    But yet I’m still writhing, stuck in the ice
    I feel so cold, as I scream and...

CHAPTER 3

I woke up to an extremely bright sun in my face and hot sand in my hair. I must not have been in the sun for long because I hadn't burnt yet. I could hear the sound of human laughter but it felt like it was coming from the inside of my head, all I could smell was smoke from a camp fire. I rolled over and pushed myself up off the sand and I looked around, still trying to figure out what happened. All I remembered was the egg, the flash of colour, and feeling I was falling from...

Sometimes I have this feeling
Right here deep in my heart
A feeling that is steady, pounding against my soul
A feeling that I write but can't complete

Oh, I want my dreams and hopes to be heard
I can't hide my feelings any longer
No one's gonna stop me from doing what I want
They will not be pushed aside

Now I'm done believing what آپ told me about
I have no trust یا faith in آپ anymore
And it's time for me to follow my dreams
To stand tall and scream out my lungs

Listen to me and the story I will tell.....
I was just sitting سے طرف کی the bedside
Staring at the world outside of my home
And it changed my life,...

In my act of bravery," he spat the word with such disdain and Bobby couldn't understand why. He thrown himself on an explosive device to save his men, if that wasn't bravery then what the hell was?
