Inspired by Llama Momma I am going to write a novel....not in thirty days but by the time I turn forty (in November). I have other goals for before turning forty...like losing 35 pounds but that is not the topic of this post, try to focus.
Anwyway, I am writing a novel and will be keeping you "posted" on my progress.
I am starting with a working title. What shall I call this little work of mine? I'm not saying that it will be the title at the end but during the process it's how I will refer to it.
It doesn't need to be based on anything. I don't even have a rough sketch of what it will be about. So be creative. It should sound like something you want to read.
You can only enter one title. one entry. once.
If you enter twice, you will be dis-qual-i-fied on all entries (and I will send the IRS your name for auditing purposes). I'm not kidding.
It should be a title that you don't want to use yourself but that you wish someone would write a novel about. Or something obscure that is not so obscure that people won't want to purchase said book.
Thanks. And by thanks I mean... there is a $25 Starbucks gift card in it if you win this little contest.
Starting now. This contest will run through the remainder of the week ending at midnight on Friday and the winner will be announced at 9am on Sunday. You will be at Mass but can check when you get home.
Go Crazy....
I'm going to be really creative here. Wait for it...

A Furtive Approach.
I have no idea - I am so bad at these things and being any bit creative. Good luck with this adventure.

But I Digress

Just for the record, a title and a subtitle do not break the rules. I am all for toeing the line, but I don't want to risk IRS reporting ...
Me Myself and the Blogosphere: Shut it

"But I Digress. Shut up!"
Wait, I hear knocking.
I have to go now, someone's at the door. Hmmmm. It's two men in suits. It looks like one of them is carrying a copy of the tax code. And the other is wearing a lapel pin that says "IRS Rocks!"
Love, Mom (Visiting days are Tuesday and Thursday.)

An Unfinished Life
It says that you are! It says that you are a work in progress! It says what you want and what you don't want to say! It has possibilities and says everything is possible! It has hope! It says there is a sequel!

Hi, it's me again. (Yeah, I'm out on bail.)
I read the suggestions again, and dar's inspired a slight variation of her suggestion, "Life As A Late Bloomer."
How about "Life In White Bloomers!"
So, sue me.
Love, Mom
