《Writers Digest {A Writing Guide}》Chapter Five ~ Title, Titles, and oh yea TITLES!
Advertisement
I have had a lot of people tell me that the title is the hardest part to deal with while writing a story.
^^ *TRUE FACT* ^^
So that is why I am writing this chapter.
What the title is, is its the summary of the story, or what is eye candy to a reader [other than the cover]. The shorter it is, the more suspicion it causes, which is good because that is what makes a reader want to read, you catching my drift here?
So, the best way to go about a title is to remeber these few tips:
+ Use one - three words.
+ Never, ever, EVER, use the abbreviations OMG, or FML, or somthing stupid like that. (If you do I will track you down and bury you alive, k?)
+ The shorter, the better!
So are we all on the same page here? Good, and if you still can't figurethis topic out, ask a friend or relatove or anyone to read it, then simply ask them a good title name or a word that will describe your story/poem.
Now, I think we all can understand the concept of titles now. See you on the next and final ( D'': ) chapter.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Transmigrated Into a Blind Woman’s Body
"What?!?!” Seeing nothing in her view, she then opened her eyes that had a blindfold covering around her eyes. Seeing colors appear before her as she saw blue in her view, then feeling sadness from above which made her heart ache. ‘Is this… another sense… for my eyes.’ Thinking about it, she did not know if any of this was real or not. “Ning’er! Your awake!” Hearing a woman say, she was hugged by the woman when she could not see who they were. “My silly daughter! Why did you jump into that pond?!” Hearing the woman crying, she had no idea who this was. ‘W-Where did I end up at?!’ Not knowing where she had gone, her mind ran with thoughts since the last thing she could recall was the sound of the bus that she took crashing. *** Time skip… “Are you really fine with a blind woman like me as your wife?” Lin Ning asked the man who had proposed to her. “How many times have I told you.” Wrapping the woman with his single arm, he sealed her lips with his. “Do not ever call yourself a blind woman. You are the woman that I chose out of all of them.” “But…” “Do you regret falling in love with this cripple man?” Cutting her off, he did not allow her to finish.
