I didn't have this much trouble naming my kids!!

I can't believe coming up with a book title is giving me such a hard time! I mean I know that should it get published the publisher will probably change it anyway, but still, I can't just submit it as "A book by S.K.S. Perry". (No matter what retrobabble
says.)

I have a title for the next Darkside book, and I'm only on chapter one. Heck, I have titles for the next two Darkside books, should I choose to write them. But this one? Nadda.

I spent all day yesterday scoping out the fantasy titles on Amazon and I came to this conclusion: Heroic/Epic Fantasy novels have the cheesiest titles. Everything I think of sounds either too melodramatic, is too generic, doesn't fit, is a word from the book I made up, or would give away the plot in the title.

I even tried random title generators. Now I know where all those cheesy titles came from.

And my friends are no help. I mean Dark Darkness: The Darkening? (Okay, that one amuses me, but no.)

Seriously, why do I do this to myself???
