Book in a Month Pt 5: When Your Story Speaks, Listen

Revelation Station #3

Kora: I want to be a mermaid.
Andrea: no, this is a contemporary story.
Kora: I'm a mermaid, deal with it.
Andrea: thats not fair!
Kora: what can I say, sometimes life's a beach.
Andrea: Ok fine, but I want the story to be sunny, fun loving and witty.
Kora: This is gonna be a dark YA paranormal romance.
Andrea: But-
Kora: talk to the fin!
Andrea: hehe, ok that was funny.
Kora: If you start listening to me, this will go a LOT easier for the both of us!
Andrea: Alright fine. You win, fin-girl.
Kora: Good. Now listen up, here is how the story is going to be..

Damn. It sucks when a main character is so demanding.

*Question for You*
Since its getting all mermaid up in here, do you think Wishing On Daisies still fits as a title? Kora thinks a new title would be better and its hard disagreeing with her. Any suggestions for a different name would be appreciated! Thanks :)

  1. maybe corny, but "Wishing on Starfish"? yes, i know they're sea stars, but does anyone really call them that?

    1. Thanks! That was an idea from Amandini. As soon as she said it I knew Kora would say that to me. Spunky! I am going to think about the title some more.. might be one of those things that has to wait. :)

  3. Sometimes we are the slaves of our MCs! I think maybe a change of title would be good, but I'm horrible with titles. Simple is always best, though. If it's going to be a dark story, make sure the title fits that too. I wish I could be of more help. If something pops up in my brain, I'll send it your way! :)

    1. Totally! Thank you for the great advice. I might just have to write the thing and think about the title later :)
