Think "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Her tattoo really has absolutely nothing to do with the story. Of course, that wasn't the original Swedish title, but it worked. ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 25 Dec 2011 05:20:52 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2338639 I have am a winner the the nanowrimo for this year and this was my first year so i'm excited about that but i have no clue what the name of my story should be called.

Lots of people don't finish. The important thing is that you tried. NaNoWriMo is more about giving you a reason to write than about reaching a certain goal. -Mariah :) Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:40:56 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2332839 Well, I applaud you for trying. I went into NaNoWriMo with 43,000 words of a book I'd been working on off and on for six years, until I started writing full-time on it this year. It took eight months to get that many words, but in NaNoWriMo, in thirty days, I wrote 45,000 words. And finished the book's first draft. But I can't imagine how ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:46:53 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2332800 This was my first year to Nano, went in gungho then I do not know what happened.

TMORR Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:47:44 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/forums/message_id/2332761 Falling Sky has a ring to it, but Population 24 is also intriguing. Does that title give away too much? I get a sense of remoteness from it.

I have looked at a few others but for some reason there is always something wrong with what they do.
