Okay, so I didn't actually win first place. I got third place, but still that's saying something, right? About a week ago, one of the author blogs that I follow posted a contest to help title her newst manuscript. Here's what she wrote about the third (that's me!!), second and first place titles:
"Third Place THE ASSASSINATION OF MARVIN HERMES by Diana. Love this title. Really love this title. But if anybody’s name is going to be in the title, I’d rather it were Seth’s.
Second Place FEED DEAF by Too Cute (Penelope Wright), which I am taking the liberty of changing to STREAM DEAF. I didn’t mention it before, but sometime between now and when I first set up this contest, I actually came up with two titles I really liked. STREAM DEAF was one of them, so when Honey Bear read this one off, I just about snorted my ice water. I figured it was a sign:)
First Place WHOSE TEETH ARE AS SWORDS by Ben Spendlove. I honestly couldn’t decide between STREAM DEAF and WHOSE TEETH ARE AS SWORDS, but I decided to give WHOSE TEETH the win because it was the one title I couldn’t get out of my head. The phrase comes from a scripture in Proverbs (Proverbs 30:14), and that verse couldn’t be more applicable to Bob."
I have to say, I can see why she picked the first place title. It has a certain feel or texture. I like it a lot. Good luck Krista with BOB, I mean WHOSE TEETH ARE AS SWORDS.
