June 6 question - What's harder for you to come up with, book titles or character names?
The easy part for me is character names...
Why?
Because I hear voices...
In my head...
Many voices...
Some adult...
Some young adult...
Even angel voices...
Witches and demon voices...
Also sultry females,and grannies.
And they tell me their names.
Am I going crazy?
Nope...
It's just part of my writing process...
So, that’s the easy answer to today’s question.
So obviously, the harder answer is...
Book titles!
Coming up with a book’s title is agony!
So many options,only one will do...
Then imagining...
What the title will look like on the book...
Then making mock-ups...
Playing around with fonts, graphics, etc.
But then the hardest part?
Making up my mind. **sigh**
Wish my books could talk like my characters do.
Maybe we do but you’re not listening.
So?
Which one is harder for you?
And do your characters ever talk to you?
Always,
Em-Musing
