Well, I'm desperate for some help on the book I'm writing right now.
This is my main character, Ellie:
How cute is she? And she's so mischievous. She's obviously up to something. |
Wow, bunny trail. Anyway. Now I'm writing the sequel to Ellie's story, The Unlikely Debut of Ellie Sweet, which hits digital shelves on November 1. Ellie just started a writing blog, and I need to call it something really cool. With her last name being Sweet, I feel like there's potential for a super cool name, but it's eluding me. Can you please help me?
Here's some information that might help you out:
Ellie writes under the name Gabrielle Sweet, but everyone calls her Ellie. She writes YA medieval romances, like Melanie Dickerson's wonderful books, and her blog is about her life as a teen writer, writing stuff, books, etc.
For the person who comes up with the name of the blog, you'll receive a free download of The Revised Life of Ellie Sweet (which releases May 1) and you'll get a "guest appearance" in The Unlikely Debut of Ellie Sweet. Meaning I'll use your name somewhere in the story, or if you'd rather just name a character, you can do that too.
If we have a couple names that we like, I'll open up voting later in the week. You can leave your suggestions either in the comments, or you can submit them to me privately through my website.
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Cool! Hmmm...the only one I came up with off the top of my head was "Sweet Scribbles" :) I'll be thinking throughout the day, though!

Good luck finding that perfect title!
I don't have any ideas to offer, but I felt like I had to mention how much I like this suggestion. The double-play on the two meanings is way clever, and I think the "sweet" concept was done well without being too cheesy. Haha.
DeleteI agree. :)

Thanks you guys! :)
DeleteI already used the contact form on Stephanie's website, but I said "Fiction is Sweeter (than Reality)"
ReplyDeleteOh, my blog name is Sweetness in the Dreaming (it's lyrics to a song) and that would work perfectly! Too bad I've already used it. I like a lot of these, especially The Princess of the Pen idea from Amo Libros.
ReplyDeleteEllie's blog could be something like, "My Unexpected Debut" or "Writing With Ellie Sweet." Pretty terrible, but it's the best I can come up with right now. xD
ReplyDeleteOh, just thought of another one. "Sweet Stories." Kinda cheesy, but hey.

Sugar and Spice and Ellie Sweet's Life
Glucose (title): The Official Blog of Gabrielle Sweet (tagline.)

And lastly,
Sugar and Swords
I meant,

ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, Ms. Morrill!! Thanks so much for letting us help1!
Is there anything else about her character that you could tell us, without giving the story away? Does she have a particular favorite snack or color or something that might influence her choice of blog name? Do her Medieval Romances have a particular focus (knights, squires, ladies OR princesses, dragons/elves - or is it non-magical? - etc.)?
I know from the description of the first book that she's a little bit vindictive (at least, that's how I read it, but i could be wrong), but how would she feel about what she had done by the time the second book comes out? Would she still like writing after all the trouble she caused, or would she switch to another genre? Would she want elements of her first book (which is special because of that) permanently stamped on the title of her blog, given the interesting events that ensue? Or would she not care?
Wow, what great questions!
DeleteHer books are non magical, deal with ladies and knights, and take place in Italy.
And yes, Ellie is rather vindictive. Though in the second book, she's trying not to be :) She's also working on being more honest. That's one of her big battles. She still loves writing, though she's not 100% about all the baggage that comes when she sees success with it. And I think she'll continue to write medieval books...but I don't think she'll make them so autobiographical in the future. Causes a lot of discomfort :)

ReplyDeleteEllie's Sweet Escape
My personal favorites:
Sword and Pen/Pen and Sword/The Sword and the Pen/The Pen and the Sword
As in "the pen is mightier than the sword..." but with a twist, because Ellie writes medieval! ;)

Okay, so my take on this is... my last name is Hart, and I kind of get annoyed with play on it after a while... i just wouldn't name my blog the Hart of Worship or anything... but my mom and sister love that kind of stuff, so I'll acknowledge it's a matter of preference... I'm just gonna be the odd one.

Or maybe "Revenge Isn't Sweet"? How personal is her blog going to be? Will she talk about some of the bad stuff that happens in the first book or only about her writing?
DeleteWell, recently I was struggling to find a name for my own blog. I put up a couple polls, and asked my friends, thought of 'Floating on the Wings of My Imagination', then changed it today to: 'The Other Side of the Dictionary'. It's not perfect, but I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe other options I was thinking about were:
Silent Thoughts
Floating Letters
Raving About Nothing
Writing vs Blogging
Here are some others of the top of my head:
Writing vs Procrastinating
Novels, Procrastination, and Cupcakes
Knights, Camera, Action!
The Icing on the Cake
The Blog Without a Name
About Me, Writing, and Weird Stuff
lol, my blog name has just changed again to: 'The Other Side of the Pen'. I can never make up my mind. :D
DeleteFrom Amo Libros:
DeleteOoh, I like "Knights, camera, action"!!
Knights, Camera, Action is so clever, Selah!
DeleteThanks. :) I was trying to come up with rhyming words to 'Lights, camera, action' to do with writing, or the genre Ellie writes, but it was very hard. :D
DeleteI came up with: "Write, Stanza, Caption'. lol, pretty lame, huh. :D
DeleteWhat about a play on the "The Sword in the Stone" like "The Quill in The Book."

Is Ellie wanting to be anonymous on her blog?
No, she's using it for marketing, so she'll want to get her name out there. Good question!
DeleteDoes anyone else suddenly find the word 'sweet' looking very weird after reading it about three hundred times just now? Great ideas, people, by the way!
ReplyDeleteFrom Amo Libros:
DeleteDitto!
This is so cool though!!!
What about
"Of Pens and Parchment" (kinda keeping with the medieval theme)or
"Princesses, Parchment and Pointed Quills" (I know, I'm reaching a bit). Could there be a tie-in somewhere with illuminated manuscripts?
Ooh, if someone hasn't done this one already: "Sweet Sayings"
Oh, Aidyl, that's hilarious.
