re: Are We Running Out of Original Titles?
posted 4/26/10Dear Editor…
I’ve noticed that we seem to have run out of original titles. Old book titles, old movie titles, old used and reused quotation titles seem to be appearing more often. Ever wonder why? What could be the benefit of copycat titles?
Sincerely,

I’m working on the second book in a series of three. The first book naturally flowed in first person and so I went with it, but the second is more challenging as the plot calls for scenes that take place away from the protagonist. I tried using a narrative voice, but that just feels wrong. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth

What is your opinion on the use of dialect? In my MG novel, I rely on it a lot. The dropping of the “g” in knowing, for instance. I need to show how these two girls talk.
Right?
Sincerely,
Robyn
