"The Willow and the Wrath" just isn't cutting it. janetgurtler  pointed out---after reading the book---that the title didn't seem to fit and I have to agree. I mean, I really like "The Willow and the Wrath" but I'm not sure it says what I want it to say about the book.

I've been contemplating new titles all weekend. I think I'll be ready to submit queries in one-two week's time and I want to be sure I have a good title to go with the query. And, some how in the span of the revision, WW's story became more Redd's story than Anna's. And one of the major elements of his POV is his art. I'd love to get that in the title somewhere. 

 So, maybe...

The Art of Her

What do you think? Of course, if you all can think of something much better than this, I'd love you forever!! I'm not very good with titles, I've come to realize. 

In other news, I came up with a new book idea this weekend. The idea started like this:

There were ten of them. Mom. Dad. Eight kids.

I think the idea came from an article I read the other day about a really large family and I started wondering what it'd be like to have such a large family. But then the idea morphed from this point to something else entirely and I really like the direction it's taking. I wrote about two pages late last night. It's hard to say where I'll go once I start subbing WW and can finally focus on something else. I'd like to choose between three projects. This new one about the huge family, the one about Tristan Van Port (the criminal genius) or a third project I have about three pages on. I like them all and it might take a bit more exploration with all three to decide.
