Since starting school, I’ve had little time to work on my personal writing (or breathe either, when it comes down to it), but my characters and novels are never far from my thoughts. I miss them.

Newer posts →. April 18, 2016 · 9:00 am. I loved the original idea I had for the title of my novel. Just one word. Simple and direct. And then as I made extensive notes for possible sequels, I thought I could call call the second one. I loved how the titles fit with the plots I’d created and how they were all matchy and pronouny. It made me smile. The problem is, that David Nicholls has also written a book by that title. The Fault in Our Stars. I suck at coming up with titles for my novels. He said, R...

Half-Finished Mummy | Words of RA Black
https://wordsofrablack.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/half-finished-mummy
