Lovin' The Language Blogfest

     Jolene Perry over at Been Writing? is hosting this blogfest so check out her blog to see everyone's responses which will probably be more interesting than mine...

     I have to admit, this was a tough one for me. I don't think of myself as a writer who is very good with words. So why am I writer then? Well, I love stories and characters and settings. I enjoy writing the scenes I see in my head and I love dialogue. But I'm rubbish at description and I rarely come up with something that I think people would stop and say, "that was brilliant!"
     Since Jolene is kindly allowing us to break the rules (yay), instead of five lines from Daze and Knights, I decided to post five of my favorite chapter titles. I had lots of fun coming up with these titles, and I'm quite proud of them. (Cue my self-satisfied smile.) I had a really hard time choosing too, but here they are:

Chapter 2: If I’m Daydreaming Then Where’s Zac Efron?


Chapter 7: Let Me Introduce You To Creep #1 and Creep #2

Chapter 20: Splinters, Visitors, And A Sword Up The Nose

Chapter 47: Who Knew That Killing Someone Makes You Want To Barf

Chapter 51: How Many People Do I Have To Kill To Get Some Alone Time Already

    Ha ha! I love number one. They're all great, though, you get a real sense of voice just through the titles. Nice job!

    The titles make me want to read the chapters! This might sound morbid, but when I read the last one, the first thing I thought of was a frazzled mother. I don't know why.

    I giggled when I read the line from Chapter 20!

    If the book title and chapter titles make me laugh this much, the rest of the book must be awesome! You DO have a way with words.

    I love these! Totally something I'd read. Oh, and Zac Efron's being held hostage in my dreams.

    Lovin' the humor! Titles are so hard! You must have a way with words to come up with one for each chapter!

    Thanks everyone! I had so much fun with these titles and most were easy. I have a waaay harder time coming up with book titles though.
