So you’re finally finished escritura it – the thing that has taken up all of your free time for the past two years (or more), the monkey on your back that wouldn’t let tu sleep, that had tu pulling out your pen and paper while on vacation with your family because The Idea came to you…
Well, you’re finished. tu want to print it out, slap on a title, and send it off.
Hold up, there partner! Pause, breathe, put the the manuscript down. Easy! There tu go….
What’s the big deal with a title?
Everything! It’s the first thing that a potential reader will see, the line that will either catch an editor’s attention o send it straight to the trash can. Just as your name represents you, the título of your book must be representative and catchy for your novel.
The good, the bad, and the ugly…    
There are three distinct groups of titles.
The first is the good: the ones that catch attention, make a reader pick the book up, scan the front, turn it over and read the back, and then on to the checkout stand. Examples: Empress, Boiling Point, Crown of Thorns, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Feast for Crows.
The bad: have a hit and miss chance of grabbing a reader, with good enough cover art and some fantastic frases from the New York Times o Publisher’s Weekly, they may be read. They probably won’t be the first book a reader picks up, but it’s possible. Examples: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, War of the Gods, Secrets of Droon: The Hidden Stairs and the Magic Carpet, Maximum Ride: the ángel Experiment.
Then the ugly: get the response “how did this ever get onto this shelf?” “What was the editor/author thinking?” Examples: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, The Adventures of tiburón Boy and Lava Girl…
So how do tu name it?
Unfortunately, while there is a plethora of baby-name libros flooding the market and internet, there is no “novel-name book” for authors. So, tu must be creative. Which really shouldn’t be that hard – hell, tu wrote a book, didn’t you?
Coming up with the name of your novel should be a process started at the same time tu write the firs paragraph, and honestly, will and should go on until you’re done with your final edit. It’s not an easy task – parents may argue and pine over it for nine months – why should your naming process be any different?
Following are several tips to help tu come up witht the ideal name for your “baby.” These are merely brainstorming techniques to hopefully help something click in that creative cavity tu have sitting between your shoulders:
Make a list
1. the names of your main characters
2. the major places in your book
3. any special talismans/objects that play a specific/important role (ie. The Sword of Shanara)
4. creatures, animals, aliens, names
Your plot
1. what is the point of your book?
2. is there a journey? To where? For why?
3. are tu escritura about a deeper meaning?
4. can tu tie in your book with current events o popular topics? (ie the Davinci Code)
5. what are your characters trying to do?
google is your best friend
1. buscar for pictures of a theme, character, creature, place, etc. that tu feel represents your book. You’ll come across some cool (and weird) things, and may give tu direction.
2. see what others escritura about similar topics are using for titles. Make sure your título isn’t too close to another’s.
3. get some más backstory on an item, relic, place, o animal in your story. Again, think muse…
Have fun
1. play up on words and items in your book (ie One of our newest libros due out siguiente summer is “Of Quills and Kings,” in which the villan is a demonic and sadistic hedgehog that overthrows the crown…)
2. be witty. tu are trying to grab science fiction/fantasy/horror/etc fans, not collegiate professors that enjoy spending all of their waking hours with their pet rock. Uh…
3. be original. tu want to stand out, but don’t be too off-beat that tu scare people away.

    “So I’ve been knocking on the door for ages,” Talia shrieks. “But tu never answered! Never! And you’re here! And Beth’s here!”
    One thing tu learn to not like about Talia, is that she never talks normal, yelling is her normal level of voice.

I did not write this song; all credit goes to Lenka

Underneath the moon,
underneath the stars
Here's a little corazón for tu
Up above the world,
up above it all
Here's a hand to hold on to
But if I should break,
if I should fall away
What am I to do?
I need someone to take
a little of the weight
Or I'll fall through
You're just the one that I've been waiting for
I'll give tu all that I have to give and more
But don't let me fall
Take a little time,
walk a little line
Get the balance right
Give a little love, gimme just enough
So that I can hang on tight
We will be alright,
I'll be por your side
I won't let...

Chapter Eleven

      Dakota had learned a long time hace that the hospital always monitored their patients and the ins and outs of the hospital to make sure everything was safe. This gave her the idea that maybe if she could somehow comadreja the footage out of the nurse's computer, then she would have a tape of Hazel Portwood admitting to the murders for Abigail and Gwendolyn Dalton. This could hopefully get Connor out of jail. It was a long shot and not very well planned out but Dakota had to take the chance.
      She sprinted back to the hospital hoping that they hadn't done anything to...

The siguiente día nearly everyone at school was asking me what happened. Does anything in this town stay a secret? I went to all my classes and por the end of the day, I just wanted to be left alone. I walked to my jeep in the parking lot, my mom had driven me to the hospital in the siguiente town to get it back. I told her that my friend drove me inicial and I had forgotten it there. I got in and was about to start it up, when a piece of paper floated into my gaze. I grabbed it and flipped it over. It was the address to Dylan's studio. I sighed remembering that I was suppose to talk with him. I started...

It's time to take the dance floor
NOW
As we hold hands
We jump up and down
And we swish across the dance floor
Like never before.

Oh it's time to take the dance floor
And it's gonna be now o never
Cuz a kiss isn't gonna wait forever
We're just gonna kiss right now and dance

If you're right for me
I'll know if it is
Just tell me so
And I'll pull tu across the dance floor
Like never before

"Wh- what are tu two doing here?" I asked backing away as they walked toward me.

"Just wanted to drop in on our favorito! little Demon." smiled Eliza. Sweat beat from my forehead, I felt cold very cold.

"Your shaking like a leaf Katy." Jarred smiled and pinned me against the wall, he starred into my eyes his mouth played an evil smirk as he came closer then changed his course to my ear and he laughed. That voice I had once admired—became venomous lighting a spark of hatred in me. "Damn your still that little girl from so many years before, tu still fear me." he chuckled and continued,...

(Verse 1)
I am in amor
with the guy who is sweet
till we meet it isn't possible

(Chorus)
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other
We need to meet
before we go Undercover
for each other

(Verse 2)
We haven't met yet
Still Single hearted
thinkin' 'bout each other
everyday

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Now & Then
Everyday, going separate
paths and ways
thinkin' we need to meet
in the middle before we go Undercover

(Pre-Chorus)
We never stopped goin'
separate paths and ways
passing broken hearts and scars
I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
Now,

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

I can't stand it any longer
goin' all crazy
when I get really lazy
Undercover

(Verse 1)

We need to meet before we go Undercover

Slowly,
Hand in hand,
We stroll towards the beautiful beach,
Never taking our eyes off the red sky.

We are together now,
And we face anything that will take us on,
With determination and unity,
Slowly.

The wave washes us into the ocean,
Taking us in,
Slowly, killing us bit por bit,
But we never let go of each other.

When we are together,
We will never die.
There is no chance of that,
It is impossible.

The power of being together
Surges into both of our souls,
And the angry waves crash against
Our faces,
But we still never let go.

We are undivided.
Nothing, ever, can keep us apart,
o even separate us.
Because, tu see,
We are bound.

We are bound
por the ropes of love,
Forever.
Nothing,
No one,
Can cut those ropes.
Not now,
And not ever.

I look down at the snow below
Thinking of its familiar glow

I remember the trees that tore at my wet clothes
And the horrid wind that stung my nose

I tripped and had fell to weak to move
Thinking I had nothing to lose

My eyes began to close and I started to drift away
My mind refusing to disobey

It took me por the hand and I felt warm
Almost glad to be taken por the storm

Now I watch from up above wondering what I did wrong
And why I was one chosen to sing the ángeles song

Chapter 2




The siguiente morning, Ginny and Promise were making breakfast, as Shawna was smoking a cigarette, dressed in
her usual phony Goth get up, trying to look as bad culo as possible (she didn't. Of course it could never work. She was a spoiled brat from Philadelphia who won a ton of beauty contests from age one to about age eighteen.) Though, years of smoking and losing weight had made her not very beautiful at all. She always looked like she was starving and never wanted to eat. Her teeth were stained and rarely brushed. She had a hateful attitude and would hurt people without consequence. Ginny...

My amor so beautifully bound in robes of scarlet hue
With nails so black scraping away at rotting church pews
I tell tu I amor tu más than myself
But to understand, from me tu shall receive neither money nor wealth
What tu buscar for is not emotion o passion, it’s much más precise
It’s the golden fortune which comes with a price
So tu take the deal and strike my head
Your beating heart, now made of lead
Allow me the peace of mind to soften the last deadly blow
Perhaps this is how our story ends of tu the Raven and I the Crow



(Crows and Ravens, in European legends are known to symbolize death)

I will remember tu always.
Will tu remember me?
That is a pregunta for tu to answer,
And not me.

I promise
That I will always
Keep the flame of memory alive.
The fun that we had will never
Be forgotten.

Even on foggy evenings,
The darkest of nights,
tu will always be in my heart.
For I know that tu will help me
Keep the flame of memory blazing
Always.

All the good times that we had,
All the fun that we had,
All the tears that we let out,
All the anger we let out
Will never be wasted.
Because every minuto of it
Is in my heart.

I will tend to the fuego
Every night,
Recollecting all the memories we have
Knowing that the flame of memory
Is the brightest flame of all
And it will blaze on.

It all started 100 years ago...

There was a great clan, Yochi Clan. They kept balance of the Earth. The Enkai, o Ocean Clan, Riku, o Land Clan, and the Sora, o Sky Clan. There were 6 from each clan, chosen to defend Earth.

There Family names:

Wanizame = Enkai
Suppai = Enkai
Tategami = Riku
Nikushimi = Riku
Karasu = Sora
Inago = Sora

They took a pledge to defend the Earth and it's beauties. Until...

Suppai, Nikushimi, and Inago joined a evil organization that threatened the Earth years ago...

Yami Teikoku Boruto

HOW COULD tu DO THIS!!!!????

They put them selves in stasis so they could attack Earth at a later time. But the heroes put themselves in stasis, too....

    A scream in the dark
    I yelled against the mouth, fighting around it. They leaned towards me, “Spying can lead to something very deadly.”
    “Who are you?!” I yelled, but it was muffled so it sounded weird.
    Was it bubble gum girl…no, it couldn’t be here. This person looked like they had black hair, o was that a cap?

Maycen, Elysia, Gabriel, and Arthur stood in a circulo, círculo around some ashes that once was Dylon Mathers, the famous novelist. HIs life came to a sudden end. It wasn't because he wrote bad books. It was what he based his libros off of. It is one thing to write about fiction but it is entirely different if tu write about someone's past and have everyone read it. As I, Kyler Adams, write this horrific tale, I only want tu to promise tu won't share this with a soul. My life depends on it.

Writing this tale will lead me to the same fate as Dylon's. I only wish to share this with tu to inform tu of...

Chapter 2!


Juliet retrieved the papers from the chicken pen, saying hi to a few of them while she was there, and made her way towards the road. She considered going back to ask her mother about dad again, but decided that it could wait. She would talk to her about it when she got back. Jessica reached the gate leading to the road and left, taking care to remember to close it. Her farm was about a mile away from the rest of the town, so it took her about 10 minutos of walking to arrive. On the way, Juliet dropped a piece of paper. Her hands were pretty full, so she folded it and put it in her...

Prologue/Prequel: Where am I going?

Ding,Ding!

The school campana rang it's final campana of the day, and the students began to flee from their 6-hour prison. One particular student, Felix Jizawa, was running to the sidewalk, his intention to avoid his childhood and best friend, Alice Mizuki, who was looking all around for him.

Felix was tall for his age, his semi-long hair, tied into a small ponytail, going down to as far as his shoulders, and unusually bright oro eyes. Average build, with slightly broad shoulders and one of the fastest runners in school. Unfortunately, Alice was faster.

"Gotcha!"...
