On titles:

OMFG!

I hereby do solemnly swear that I will never ever, ever use the following words in a title of any work that I ever write:

Heart
Moon
Star
Crystal
Blade
Shadow
Quest
Dream
Dark/Darkness

If I ever am tempted to use two of the before mentioned words in a title, somebody please shoot me.

I mean, I'm not the best at titles, but skimming over the workshop list of submissions, I found at least four to seven titles containing each of those words. I read a couple out to the hubby, and he was like, "I think I've read that book. Like, five times."

But really, if the best title I can come up with for a story is The Crystal of Dreams, or The Moonblade, or Heart of the Whatever the fuck, then the story is shit.

OMG, my cat's become a tea drinker....
