So, I need to come up with a new series title. Why?
"On June 2, 2009 Del Toro released his debut novel, The Strain, which he co-authored with Chuck Hogan. It will be the first part of a vampire trilogy."
Sigh. So, a few days ago, to kickstart the renaming, I read the dictionary. I got as far as "air", I think. Yeah, the glamorous life of an aspiring author.
For anyone crazy enough to care, here are my notes from dictionary-reading:
Animals/Plants/Monsters I could use: Aardvark, Aardwolf, Abyssinian cat, Afreet, African violets, Africander, Addax
Cool Words: Abase, Abininitio, Abysmal, Acerose, Achromatic, Acme (the definition is funny), Acrid, Aerate, Agoraphobia, Ague
And, Possible Titles: Abide, Accident
All that for two choices. XDD I kind of like Abide, nice and simple. With Accident, I was thinking about Aristotle's philosophy of accidents/essence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_(philosophy) Although I like how the concept coincides with the characters, the big problem is that very few people would think of that when seeing the title. XD
If anyone randomly stumbling across this sad excuse for a blog has any title suggestions, they would be much appreciated.
P. S. - Remember, remember, the 5th of November...

Get Started...
I have a blog. XDDD;; Why did I do this?
Okay, uh, basic info/what this blog will be about... Obviously, the title is Minor Writes, so I'll try to stick to that topic. I am a minor, and I do write, so that's the premise, mostly.... I'll be working on getting my book published very soon, God willing, hopefully that'll be interesting enough to blog about.
I finished my second book sometime in early December. My first book isn't worth mentioning, it was very, very bad and had entirely too many fairies in it. We'll skip that. The series I'm working on now is three books, one finished, as I said. It's a modern fantasy, and I try to work with lots of different creatures and locations... I hesitate to mention that the main character is a vampire. ^_^;; It isn't another Twilight ripoff, I swear! There isn't even any romance in it. And no werewolves. Plus, I'd already created most of the characters before I'd ever read Twilight. I was late on the bandwagon. Anyhow, the series is called Strain, and each book sub-title is in a foreign language, so the first one is Densetsu (legend) and the second is Juex (game). If you want to read the series, it's posted online at webook.com. Densetsu was recently sent to a friend of a friend for editing. Once I get her notes back and do my second draft, I'll start looking for a writing agent. I already have one I'm looking at, but it's really uncommon to get your first choice, or so I've been told... I can't wait to get some rejection letters to pin up on my wall. XD At least it'll mean I've done something.
If you read through this whole thing, God bless you. Goodnight.
