I Have a Name....

For my last WIP. Let me rewind. You see, I have been going out of my mind trying to pick a name for this work. My story was about a girl who is a fairy, and she denies her cravings to eat human flesh. She meets a human boy who challenges her even more. While she loves him, she still can't help her craving. Thus, the book was going to be called Crave. Then, the plot changed. Saren (my MC) asks for Zeth (the mortal she loves) to be spared in the feast. The Queen grants her her wish but for a price: Saren must retrieve a dragon scale. So, her journey begins as she battles vamipres, a kelpie, and a dragon. But, one untold truth and a jealous counterpart could be all that is standing in the way of Saren's happily ever after with Zeth. In the end, she finds that she never had a chance to begin with.

This story was killing me. I had no idea what to name it. I posted a thread on a forum in Figment. Asked friends and family, and even read and re-read the synopsis. Then, FINALLY I got some ideas. I knew I wanted the deception to be part of the title. The fact that Saren, as a fairy, couldn't tell a lie but she was withholding the truth. The word untold kept creeping at me. Then, as I shared my thoughts with my young brother-in-law, Jared, he said "What about Untold Crave?" Genius that boy is! Why did I NOT think of this. So, after kicking my self in the butt for having the worst "blonde" moment ever (Sorry blondes) I said, "Or, Untold Cravings". So, I had a title.

Normally, okay more like ALWAYS, I ALWAYS have titles for my books. As soon as the idea, plot, characters has all formulated into a story in my head, the title comes with it. It has always fit together better than any puzzle piece. But, this time it was a challenge. But, alas, I can say: "It has a title!"
