Hate to be a pest, but I am thinking of giving my MS Melina a new title. Melina is a name of the main character of the book, but I feel I should use a non-specific title.

In the story, we learn a lot about hopes, dreams, fate, visions and such like that through the eyes of two of the main characters.

I've thought of a few titles, but am not really sure about them either.

Emerald Dreams
The Waking Grove - name of the dryad's forest
The Emerald Grove

Thing is none of them sound right. Is Melina too plain?

I'm a fan of The Waking Grove. :) Titles are NOT my thing. I have an MS named Normal *shakes head*

Looks like I won't get much writing done tomorrow - my son has to be on set for 6 hours. Good thing I have a kindle.

What does your son do?

Need help here guys. Jillian, my MC is sent to live with her mother in Scotland. She arrives by train but should I start the story from the point where she exits the train or when she is in her mother's rental car and approching the castle where she will be staying?

Hi all. New to this thread. I tend to gravitate to one thread here in AW because I'm shallow like that (not really, joking...I think) But I realized there was THIS and I feel like I'm missing out on knowing some great peeps.

Houndrat is all to blame for my appearance, even if she doesn't know it.

Which has a hookier beginning?

(Really doesn't matter. You can always change it later)

SUNSHINE---*tackle hugz* Sunshine is usually in Purgatory with me, but she writes YA so she's in the right place--WOOT! Plus, she gets all kinds of hyper at night--perfect for our crazy group.

Sage, I read a book where the MC could find out all about the LI's mysterious secret in a set of letters. And instead of just freaking reading them already, not once but TWO times she stops and puts them aside for long intervals. Um....?????

If you don't know what book it is, I'll rep.

Hi Sage! What Hound said :D I'll make it a point to navigate between here and Purgy. And She's also right on the hyper part muhahahaha!

But alas, I'm actually beat and am attempting to go to sleep early tonight. Looking forward to hanging with you guys!
