Yesterday I was vague, because I was talking to myself in a journal! Silly me, save talking to yourself for real journals, this one might actually be read. The masterpiece I mentioned that intrigued and inspired me was Ender's Game, and the book I am currently re-reading (from years long past) is called Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie.
I haven't read much today, not in the published realm anyhow. I've been reading over a novel I wrote last year, I want to get the story in my head before I begin the revision process. The book's working title is "The Falling Darkness."
Hey, that would be fun, I should list every working title I've had for it. [There have been a lot, I'm very bad at titles.] Here goes nothing - "Embers of the Past," "Darkness the Blind can See," "Big Brother," oh and of course, "Working Title." I'm still not sold on the one I have currently (The Falling Darkness). I need to rework the novel and then go back and read some of my killer sentences to find something clever. I like finding something in a sentence, I head that was what Tolkien always did. Not hard for "The Hobbit" I suppose. :)
Titles eventually turn up. The original title for 'The Great Gatsby' was 'Trimalchio.' I like 'Darkness the Blind Can See.'
ReplyDeleteThanks. I thought it was too melodramatic!
ReplyDeleteIt could be a twist on the Grateful Dead lyric about 'even a blind man can see the sunshine.'
