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 One

The hard, steady foot beats of the men behind me became louder and louder. They were gaining speed before my eyes. I couldn't seem to shake these guys. They must had Censored me before arrival. There is no way they could have known about my hideout. The cameras around that area were old and broken until yesterday. I saw them myself hook the latest model of cameras near the alley. I had stayed hidden but I realized that my days of...

    “No school! NO SCHOOL! We just watched the falling of Meredith and that’s all آپ have to say?!”
    “I’m so confused!” I yell. “What just happened?”
    Sage looked at me. “You saw the video!”
    “I had my eyes closed, what happened?” I answer.
    “Let’s replay it-”
    “NO, just tell me!” I whine.

    “I never really liked gym,” I say, in attempt to make conversation.
    Grey grunted as he continued attacking his poor food, Ali glanced at me, uninterested, and Talia looked ready to jump off a bridge.
    Oh lunch, how they were ruining it for me.
    “Come on guys,” I say frustrated. “Gym is over, we won’t see it until the دن after, and anyways, it’s not like those buttheads can just come and play with us, we can leave.”...

August 18

      Bright and early Saturday morning. No one other then Chloe is away at this time. What else would she be doing? She had things to contemplate. It was barely close to the end of August and already something huge has happened. What could she do about it? Should she confront him یا leave an awkward memory between them. Afterwards he did apologize but still. It was startling.
      Friday evening he knocked on her door. It was the سیکنڈ time Eric had visited since she first moved. He seemed frustrated and confused. When she opened the door, he lunged at her. Not in attack mode...

        Close to perfect: A few months later
    Adam wrinkled his nose as Ryler grabbed for my hand once we seated. “Can آپ guys stop with the lovey dovey, it’s gross to see my best friend and roommate romancing my sister.”
    I stuck my tongue out at him. “Like your not romancing Sage up in front of me.”
    Adam’s cheeks pinkened a little, and I smiled victoriously. Yes, my dear readers, Adam and Sage are a couple, yeah, surprised me too....

The موسیقی blared loudly, and I could still hear it with my hands covering my ears. The other high school students skipped and ran through the dark woods at midnight on their way to a deserted log کیبن in the middle of nowhere. I rolled my eyes (like all high schoolers do,) at the others, drunk and incoherent.
I could barely see two feet in front of me, when I banged into a firm wooden door. I stumbled backwards as I cursed under my breath and rubbed my forehead. I then succeeded in opening the door and getting in the cabin. It was warm and cozy, with no party energy whatsoever...yet. I regretted...

This song that I wrote is dedicated to the Hunger Games.
------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe it
We were just in battle fighting for our lives
It was a wicked world, crazy and psycho
But I guess we came out alive and that's all that matters

It was a cold night
We were keeping our eyes open
For a sign of any fallen warrior
Our eyelids were dropping, but we stayed awake through it all

It was a crazy world out there
Wanting teenagers to fight each other to their death
It was a cruel world, and I liked it no مزید than آپ did
But we managed to survive the peril...

HATRED

I am one of the Seven Deadly Sins,
And آپ know what I am capable of.
For I am a human instinct,
And yet a daemon from the Pit,
And آپ must beware of me,
For I can kill آپ in the end.

I am the reason
You hold a grudge against your friend,
For I am the reason آپ cannot forgive him,
And I am also the reason why آپ murdered
The man who wronged آپ in plain sight.

I am the reason
That Jacob and Esau fought so
Badly and yet held a grudge.
I am also the reason why Cain and Abel
Did not get along,
And why Cain murdered Abel,
His own brother.

I am the reason why the Israelites
Made the Golden Calf
While Moses...

    The دن after
    The اگلے few hours were very painful, but we made it through it. Adam’s buddies appeared but never visited, which I am highly grateful for because Meredith and Talia are a handful already.
    So the اگلے day, I wake up early with a headache that feels like my brain was taken out and is being prodded and I can still feel it. I sigh as I rub my eyes and take my lovely time to go downstairs. I had forgotten about the guys from the drama during yesterday’s sleepover...

Jet Avate sauntered into his apartment, his fingers cramping, and his eyes feeling glazed over. The sweet smell of fuel had buried itself into his nose and didn’t appear to be leaving any time soon. He went into the bathroom and looked himself over.

    “Another first place,” he murmured as he ran his hands through his dark hair, his dark blue eyes sparkling. “Another one-hundred grand.” Jet grinned. “And another guy who doesn’t know if they want to brutally murder me یا worship me.”

The following poem was composed in spring 2011. It was originally گیا کیا پوسٹ winter 2012 in the Dragons club here on Fanpop.


NIGHTFIRE

Winge beating,
Lungs heaving,
Black shadow
Torn from the sky.

Eyes glancing,
Alert and fierce.
آگ کے, آگ dancing.

Wheeling,
Circling,
Nightmare
Incarnate.

آگ کے, آگ dark as night,
Scales bright as gems.
Gleaming eyes,
Searching for a feast.

Wings furled.
Claws extended.
Dives down.
Death claims
Another victim.
Glides up.
Feasting begins.

The dragon flies off.
It is gone,
And the
Nightmare
Is done.

        Remembering is hard for the soul

آپ can't change me
I'm so being myself
I am not anyone else
Besides me

I'm standing here
Look how much I've changed
I'm so stubborn
Never being someone else

Look at the sky
Look how the world has changed
Look how the people chatter about
Can't change me

Everyone's changed
Everything but me has changed
And the world still rotates everyday
No one's gonna make me

I'm a rockstar
I'm so powerful
I'm staying myself
No one's gonna replace me

The world has changed
But I'm not going to change
I'm just as great as I am
Right now

I made it to my room and saw the dagger on my بستر I grabbed it she jumped on me, slamming me on the floor I felt blood ooze down my chin, I didn't busted my lip in the process.

"Get off me!" I yelled and and tried to slab her anywhere but she caught my wrist broke it and brought my arm back.

The dagger had fallen and rolled under my بستر I could see it just out of my reach she yanked me up and at the right moment I head butted her. She staggered into the دیوار and I aimed to مککا, عجیب الخلقت her in the nose but she caught my fist.
