What title would your novel have?

As an ex publican mine would have to be ;
My life behind bars.

"Papa Maverick Chick" and "I guess we signed the Contract"

These are two books I have written. They are not in the public arena nor ever will be, because the story is too outing. We live in too smaller world today

I've got one hell of a life story. Think Kathleen Cookson/Victoria Holte style. I needed to get it all in book format after years of therapy.

The first one was from my birth incorporating 100 year family history before that up until 2011, the year after my mom passed.

The 2nd I started writing the year after my late husband passed in 2018. That book incorporates from 2012 to present day.

It's been a really good cathartic process

I'd rather have a 'bottle in front of me' than a 'frontal lobotomy' !

MissChateline. I enjoyed reading your input re waiting for whales. It took me to my own childhood. Our primary teacher was from Barra and she filled our wee heads with the stories of her magnificent island childhood where freedom was accepted. We were in the heart of Scotland and her uplifting stories were magical. We all enthusiastically spoke, even now, with a beautiful island lilt in our wee voices. (Think of Miss Jean Brody) All these years later - Most of us still speak with that emphasis.
My voice has got me more jobs and compliments as well as admirers, and I thank my teacher for this.
Just now our children are speaking with tv type of odd accents. I can assure them get a soft Barra accent and the world will love you.
Some will disagree but it worked for me.

If life gives you lemons….

I wrote a novel once, title Shouting in a Vacuum. I was quite proud of title as I felt it expressed the protagonist’s despair. If I wrote my autobiography (which I’d never do) I’d call it Flippin’ Heck, Not Again!

I also wrote a novel when I left school. It was about being a teenager. Sadly I threw it away. I'd love to read it now.

The Quiet House.
About a lonely person.

I did write a fairly awful novel in my late teens, typing it on an old upright Remington. I called it "Jesus had Hay Fever", which seemed appropriate and meaningful at the time, but I cannot now remember why.

'Down the pan' - a fast-moving novel set in the fluid world of water companies.

A storyline coming to me as I'm trying to sleep keeps me awake foxie48 it's annoying but also interesting! Can't win.

I do wish we had a like button as some of these have made me smile.

Not the title of an autobiography or novel, Aveline
Actually my latest way of getting off to sleep is writing a story in my head, I never get past the first page!

Grand Designs - Lessons in Failure.

Just get on and write it. Think about potential readership. Autobiographies are probably not of any interest to people outside your family so write a novel. Stop prevaricating and do it!

The aardvark that bought our house.

Today is Yesterday’s Tomorrow

Mayhap.

Live and Learn

The Dog Ate My Caramac.

The Procrastinator, I'm going to start writing it tomorrow.

I’m on my third and I’m not telling.

"Nothing on the Clock but the Maker's Name".

" If Only"

What if?

I think I am the only person I know who has never nursed a secret desire to write a novel. Not even a really dreadful one. I couldn't and I know it. So it is no novel with no name.
