Spilled Ink by any other name...POSTED SEP 23, 2010

I'm now three months into the writing phase of Spilled Ink . I've noted many similarities to and differences from the writing process of Caffeine . Some things are coming easier to me, and some things I feel like I'm learning all over again. The writing got bogged down and I realized there were some weaknesses in the outline (multiple characters filling the same roles, for instance), so Spilled Ink has seen some changes. Among these changes is the title.

This month, I decided to change the working title to "The Day The Rain Came Back." Though I'm not fond of the title being so long or starting with "The" (to be listed as "Day The Rain Came Back, The"), the change better reflects the focus of the story; where the elements that made "Spilled Ink" more appropriate before have now been cut/de-emphasized/changed over the months. DRCB (I'll just start abbreviating it now) is less generic, too; there are already works titled "Spilled Ink." Best of all, I think, is that the new title implies a positive ending to the story. You, dear reader, will need that reassurance.

Lord willing, the page for DRCB will be started soon, its URL moving from "Ink" to "Rain." I'm still deciding what details to leak on it.

And don't forget about my first novel , still looking for a commercial publisher. I appreciate everyone's support and publicity.
