Monday

While I’m editing, I’ve decided to take a break from the daily wordcount posts.  Their primary purpose is to keep me accountable for what I’m working on, and I’m afraid that they have just become monotonous.  Has anyone actually been reading them?

I spent today editing edits.  I’ve been mulling over some plot points, and I figured out how to make them make more sense.  So I’ve been filling in some stuff at the start of the book, and quite enjoying doing so.  I’d still be writing right now, except I’ve developed a headache that’s just bad enough to break my concentration.  Meh.

I also have a tentative new title for the book - instead of Thought and Memory, it’s now The White Raven.   The companion book is going to be The Black Raven.  It all makes sense in the context of the books.

Now I really need to drag myself away from the computer screen and let this headache go away.

Re: Book Titles

There's no copyright on titles (though you'd struggle trying to publish something with the same name as a bestseller, obviously). And realistically, few writers get to keep their titles anyway, depending on how marketable they are.

Well, hey, at least there's no legal issues there. It's kind of sucky that a publisher would get to arbitrarily choose a new title, though :(
