titles r us
some writers get inspiration for the title first and write from there, others i've heard come up with it after the book is formed. either way, like naming a child, the pressure's on.
i have to laugh every once in a while because, just like trends with kid names, book titles seem to go through phases. right now, i feel that some words and phrases are very overused when it comes to novels. *disclaimer, some of them are favorite reads of mine.
here are the words i think could use a rest from titles: paris, wife, beekeeper, apprentice, art, thief, french, tale, journey, forger.
there's more, but i think it would be funny to come up with some combination of these just for fun, say, "the stung tale of the french beekeeper's wife" or "art theives forge in paris" or "journey of the apprentice."
what's in a title? a book by any other name would smell as sweet.
