I have not been able to post anything all week here at the ol' house. I don't understand why blogger is being so hard to get along with. I was preparing to type up a bad-tempered letter to send to the powers that be and guess what? It finally worked for me. GAH! Double GAH!
A giant SHOUT OUT to Candy for all the hard work and love she put into her contest. I think writers are the most considerate, warm-hearted folks in this universe and beyond. Which reminds me, I cried at the end of Toy Story. Yup, I embarrassed all who pretended they weren't with me. ;)
GET OUT THE VOTE:
The top ten titles (in order of how many votes they received) are listed here. Please vote on which title you think I should use. A lot of you emailed your votes to me and that is just fine. Either email or by commenting on this post. Your vote will be counted. Without further adieu:

So let's get out the vote. Cuz, I need a title, yanno??
And thank you to everyone who sent in titles ideas. Every title got at least one vote, which only goes to prove that y'all are just awesome title thinker-uppers.
Oh and Jennifer Shirk http://jennifershirk.blogspot.com/ raised a great question about the genre. So I thought I'd fix that. It is middle grade action/adventure.
Well, I think I need to be reminded of the genre again.
ReplyDeleteBut I kinda like "Gone in a Gallop". It's cute and catchy. :)
Thanks Jen, gotcha down. And thanks for the reminder. =)
ReplyDeleteI like Searching for Fancy -- but I'd like it to be:
ReplyDeleteThe Search for Fancy
