Good comeback, Laura.

How about “The Wife Who’s a Better Writer Than Her Husband in the House”?

Call it, “Beginners’ Luck”

“A Thing That Happened” became “Of Mice and Men”

“First Impressions” became “Pride and Prejudice”

“Trimalchio in West Egg” became “The Great Gatsby”

“Strangers from Within” became “Lord of the Flies”

“Tomorrow is Another Day” became “Gone With the Wind”

Fat boy must be in the garage, licking his wounds and feeling rejected!!

Shorten it. “The Woman in the Window” works for me. Unfortunaly it’s already been used, and probably meany times.

Katy has a valid concern. Both of those titles are over-long and derivative. She needs to distill her novel down to its essence, and name it…I married a Bignose.

How good can her book be when she comes up with those awful titles?

She didn’t think of the title of her book and already publishers are fighting to print it? Don’t tell Adam.

Maybe the title can be Adam’s contribution

You could make her a James Bond villain and call it “The Girl with the Peanut Butter Balls”

“The girl with the” title would get shot down due to trademark infringement.

Laura: three words max.

Sometimes a smart mouth has to pay more than a dumb az.

How about “Pooh on the ankle”?

“The Girl Who Grew Up To Be A Tattoo”

A Tale of Two Cindys

To Kill a Canary

Fifty Shades of Slightly Off-White with Just a Hint of Yellow

Oh, that seems like an Adam retaliation.

Next to creating believable but interesting names, choosing a good title is probably the hardest thing — I can’t do either which is a major reason I’m still unpublished.

I would leave the title to the Marketing Team of the publisher if they have one. Of course I would want final say as well, but that’s what they do best.

Those are all really bad titles. Makes me wonder….

No chips unless they agree with you.

Throw mama from the train a grenade sounds good…

There’s a bidding war over a novel without a title?

I wonder if Laura is a chip off the old block…head.
