They were probably right about wanting the series to "match" better, but by that point I'd formed a fierce attachment. I'm going to use my original title some day, somehow.G.M.

But as I see only male writers essentially winning, year after year, I'm beginning to feel it's about time I saw a Nancy Pickard (or a Rhys Bowen) with that little statue!<br /><br />And the magic word for me to sign in is "ravedist." Doesn't that sound totally teenage. It was the ravedist concert ever!Rhys Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663634889908752121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-29744540844768650682010-09-22T10:43:19.015-04:002010-09-22T10:43:19.015-04:00No, I really can't, dear pallaphy. I tend to ...No, I really can't, dear pallaphy. I tend to try out a lot of titles, and then forget all of them except the one that actually gets used. For instance, this current wip has been named:<br />If Ever I Would Leave You<br />Outside of Heaven<br />and a couple of others I've already forgotten. As the book has changed (drastically), so have the titles. Currently it's The Last Cafe. What do you think? I kind of hope I get to keep it, but that depends on the story.Nancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429062957063032872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64090585657839928662010-09-22T10:31:15.108-04:002010-09-22T10:31:15.108-04:00But now it's UNjinxed, because you said it was...But now it's UNjinxed, because you said it was jinxed.
