So often, I've found that a story I write only starts to coalesce when I get within spitting distance of a deadline. Without that deadline, I will spend ages reformatting, re-writing and reediting to make my story perfect. The thing is, that target of perfection is always in motion. What seemed perfect to me yesterday will change, as I am always changing. Which gets me stuck in a cycle. Great stories are never finished, they are released, and sometimes you need someone to pull the story away from you and let it out into the world.

A...I'm glad that I've triggered some ideas. At this point, you know your story the best, so you should go with what feels right to you. The right word in the right place makes all the difference, and grammar rules can be elastic when it comes to memorable phrases. <br /><br />One exercise you can do is to try to sum up your entire story in as few words as possible. If your story is character based, it's the character arc of the primary character , or even the antagonist. Then keep cutting down until you can't cut anymore. Then try to cut down again. Forget grammar rules, just pick out the right words. Once you've drilled down to the core, you can really start thinking of the best title to sum it all up.The Defective Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753079302510607981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806404029206485124.post-83148749101661044032015-04-17T14:47:32.130+01:002015-04-17T14:47:32.130+01:00Je pense que je suis trop habituée à That Grey Are...Je pense que je suis trop habituée à That Grey Area et peut-être pas très objective dessus du coup.

It made me also think of Shadows and Light as a title, or Shadows of Light.<br />I think, though, that even Shadows borne from Light doesn't quite give the right feel from the book. I'm more and more thinking I might keep one of those Grey Area/ Shadows and Light idea for the series name, and find something else for the Book 1 title.<br /><br />I'm getting quite fond of 'The girl from Otherworld' idea. <br /><br />What do you guys think of it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733106280812542948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806404029206485124.post-42862975589894218252015-04-16T22:52:47.976+01:002015-04-16T22:52:47.976+01:00"That Grey Area" doesn't really evok..."That Grey Area" doesn't really evoke fantasy to me. Perhaps "This Grey Domain" could be a more fantastical version.<br />The Darkness Within sounds a lot more fantastical, but isn't that distinctive.<br /><br />Here are my randomly spat out title suggestions based on the theme of light and darkness:-<br /><br />The Crepuscular Girl/Boy/Queen/King/Prince/ss - Basically because crepuscular life forms only live in twilight, at the interface between night and day. I really like the rhythm of that word, and can be used to describe a morally grey character within the story. <br /><br />Shadows borne from Light - Simplest one, because light creates shadows. It implies that good intentions can create evil. <br /><br />Morality's Rainbow : So on the nose your reader will think they've just snorted wasabi.<br /><br />Deep Grey World- A spin on "That grey area" but readers might be disappointed when they find the world isn't actually monochrome.<br /><br />Shadows rise from the light: I put "Shadows borne from light" through a "Bad Translator" on line(http://ackuna.com/badtranslator), which got creative with the language. Seriously recommend bad translators for when you are stuck on imaginative titles.<br /><br />Try out every thesaurus you can find, and collect all the words you like, and figure it out from there.The Defective Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753079302510607981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806404029206485124.post-35934908408725616392015-04-16T21:15:43.321+01:002015-04-16T21:15:43.321+01:00Thanks!

I like your reasoning for 'That Gre...Hi Soizic! I like your reasoning for 'That Grey Area', but to me the phrasing makes it sound like more of a contemporary romance rather than a fantasy. Just looking at the Goodreads YA page (http://www.goodreads.com/genres/young-adult), most fantasies have a title that is quite lyrical ('Shadow Scale')or strongly tied to the genre ('The Orphan Queen'). Names are also sometimes used (e.g. 'Ash' or 'Sabriel'). Post-Twilight, it was really common to have a one-word title, but lately the trend has been to have 'The something of x and y' (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Gates of Thread and Stone, History of Glitter and Blood etc.). I'm not saying you need to follow a trend (actually better not to), but I'd say your title needs to convey something of the fantasy element. Perhaps use the colour grey but in a different phrasing?Catherinehttp://www.catherinequeen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806404029206485124.post-59819016515959084422015-04-14T19:11:27.215+01:002015-04-14T19:11:27.215+01:00I like this post.
