Kaz – what’s your name on NaNoWriMo? I’m Athelstone.

Also up for SloMo. Sounds fun 😊

Totally up for SlowMo.

I’m quite partial to Two Cities and the Void

Go with the one you and your agent both like. 🙂

FWIW I like it too.

Love London and her Shadow.

I like the word ’tilt’. I use it in my cover letter.
Should a title be specific, or suggestive, or opaque? I think I tend to prefer non-specific.
Some more ideas:

The Tilting Girl
T.I.L.T (graphic artists could play around with this)
Time Tilt
Exile’s Tilt
Exile’s Shadow

or mirror?
Exile’s Mirror
Tilted Mirror

ps @raine I do know what you mean about the female appendage sort of titles, too. thought I have a liking for “The (x person) of (somewhere interesting)” even thought they’ve been a bit done lately

Also the momentum led to some story surprises, in a good way. I’m using it to kick start book two so I’ll buddy up with…[Read more]

Mine would definitely be a slow write. I have no idea how I’m going to get any writing done at all between now and the New Year… Not even my Room with a view! 🙁
I’ll sign up though, and hope for the best…

That’s 2 of us, Daeds. When were you thinking? And how would it work? I’m quite prepared to set up a support group of some kind if that will help.

I like the idea of exile, and my previous suggestion came from that.
Time’s Exile
Exiled in Time

Ooh I love a good title debate.

Tbh, I’m not a fan of ‘The {x persons}’s {female relative}. BEcause a) there’s been a gazillion of them, and b) it reduces the woman/girl to an addendum to their male relative. Also, I think ‘The Time-stealers Daughter’ is too close to The Time Traveller’s Wife for me. I know that’s adult, and a bit dated now, but…[Read more]
