The great title you've had no use for yet

"An Uncertain Redemption"

Try as I may, I still can't past the first chapter.

The Wolf Courts of the Nine Days' Run

Way too long to use. Plus, I'm concerned that readers will take "courts" as a verb rather than as a noun.

Queen, i dont think they'll think it's a verb because it's followed by the world of. It's a cool title.

For me, it's The Vacant Midnight. It's from a poem by, I want to say Walt Whitman, about a civil war soldier who's returned home. In my case there is a plot attached, which i came up with about 20 yrs ago and it's totally mary sue. But the characters are cool, so I may still write it some day.

Farting for pleasure (and profit.)

I have a title for one of my paranormal western short stories that I'm saving until I get ready to return to that genre, and can figure out a workable plot. 'Bean Counters' will concern Judge Roy Bean being haunted by all the men he hanged or shot.

And I need to do something for the same series about the medical bag and pair of shoes made from the tanned skin of Big Nose George Parrot, an outlaw who was lynched in Wyoming in the 1881. The shoes were worn by a governor of the state at his inauguration in 1893, and are still on display in the Carbon County Museum in Rawlings, Wyoming. Something spooky ought to have happened with those shoes, at least in the world of my ghost detective for that period, Hack Norris. Someday I'll tell what it was.

I Was the Daughter of a Midwest Methamphetamine Al Capone

(it's the memoir I will never write )

I have heard the phrase "doubting Thomas" in conversation. As in, "aren't you just a doubting Thomas."

It's biblical. Thomas was the disciple who doubted Jesus' resurrection in The Gospel According to John 20:26-29.

Is there a title you have, whether for an entire book or just a chapter or whatever, that seems JUST PERFECT but you've had no use for yet?

Yes.

"How I published my first book" by: Wayne K

The Dance Of Time

"The Night is Blackest"

im tossing around using this as the chapter of the climax.

A Town Called Murder

I'm thinking of turning it into a noir story, if I can.

How I Wasted My Life

A fake autobiography of my life that I can't imagine anyone would ever want to read.

I think "Dirty Wife Beater" would be a great hardboiled mystery story.

For those who don't know, this is a slang phrase for a white([or once-whit) undershirt, either tank or tee shirt. It's funny hearing my female students talk about wearing one!

And Silence Reigns

Really would like to find the story that goes with that title.

A Winter's Snake.

from the Jacobean play The White Devil, by John Webster. The Jacobean plays are stacked with possible titles. The surrounding lines are:
"The way ascends not straight, but imitates The subtle foldings of a winter's snake..." (Snakes are supposed to knot themselves up to sleep for the winter)
-Barbara

I have a list of phrases on my computer, each of which I think would make a good title. thethinker42 needed a title for one of her projects once, so I showed her the list and she nicked one of my ideas! (With my permission).

Sins of Omission is a book about an American Jewish community's reaction to domestic violence. What's yours about?

THE GARAGE

Yeah, I like that. A lot of psychological thriller possibilities. Look for it in the NYTimes best seller list, year 2060.
