In What's New, Writing

sad little girlSo… I can’t use my book’s title.  The title which has been its title since the book started as a glimmer of an idea.  The only title I’m SURE is its title.  The same title I’ve been Googling since 2007 to make sure it is available.  (It was, until about a month ago).

IT IS TAKEN.

Oh, the agony.

I am working through my bitterness at the author who got the jump on me and looking to see the possibilities.  However, faithful reader, I do not cope with disappointment well.  I want what I want when I want it and… well, I feel a little like the little girl in this picture (above) looks.

We already have a couple of good ideas, one which includes a double entendre on the main character’s name and is deeper than my original choice.  But still.  Trying to get used to the idea.

I am sure that once I am ready to unveil the title (pending publisher approval) I will have fallen in love with what will ultimately become the title of my first novel.  The first of many, I hope.  But… well, let me pout for a little while.
