I suck at titles.
The working title of the Lord and Master sequel is "Another day at the office". This title sucks for a variety of reasons, not least being that a title for a romance ebook should ideally be four words or less.
I am currently wrestling with the "about this book" paperwork required for the book production process at my publisher, and Mistress Allie would doubtless like the paperwork returned to her this weekend. I need to produce an actual title if I don't want to see the working title on the cover, or worse yet be prodded by my publisher on the subject of sucky titles. Thus, the ritual whine on LJ and/or usenet in the hope that detailed whining about being stuck will free up the gears in the confabulator. (As the other rascafarians will confirm, it's surprising how often this works.)
I do hope I don't have to repeat this process later this afternoon when I get to the cover blurb. I thought I'd scribbled some notes, but as usual I can't find them.
