I love how you came up with French-coffee...then Carol had French-roast :). I didn't even think along those lines. I like one word titles. I like simplicity. I even chose single syllable names for my kids ;)<br /><br />Hi Carol! We share a few words (I'll list mine in a minute). It's interesting how you tend towards opposites...and some are coming up with word endings etc...<br /><br />Hi Stina! Titles are tough. It's also tough for me not to edit as I go.<br /><br />Hey Anne! LOL on your last one ;) You're the only one so far who has the same response as I do on the first two words! Love your complete and utter nonsense lol.<br /><br />Okay everyone. I'll go ahead and list my responses:<br /><br />Dark-Knight<br />French-Kiss<br />The-Call<br />Pro-logue<br />Para-graph<br />Complete-manuscript<br />Self-published<br />Free-write<br />Fire-man<br />Hand-writtenRula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349124532504569358.post-41197839406571888792012-01-10T08:56:42.793-05:002012-01-10T08:56:42.793-05:00I like this exercise.

But I really enjoy seeing clever ones made up from known sayings. <br />Like...<br />You Had me at Goodbye<br />or<br />Happily Never After<br />or<br />I'm with Cupid<br /><br />I don't know why. I always think a clever title means a cleverly written book :-)Jennifer Shirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.com
