*hums* Six writers, six writers...

Part of the scholarship application involves listing your three favorite and least favorite writers and why, and I've been tossing around who to put down for a few days.

Here's my rough list, based on my personal impressions:

( Read more *hah!* )

So that seems like a decent six names, two men and a woman each. Hopefully it'll also give them a sense of just how eclectic my reading material is. Because let's face it -- I like reading. ^_^

Title? *looks under couch* Title?

I've increasingly found that referring to my writing opus when it has no actual title is becoming a bit awkward, especially since "that thing I'm writing" doesn't really ring, "my novel" sounds pretentious (and as far as I'm concerned it's not a novel until it's bound in book form), and so far my attempts at coming up with even a working title have failed miserably and sounded extremely stupid. I can certainly see why the title is usually the last thing people come up with. Unless you're Dilbert, but that's satire anyway.

So out of desperation a few nights ago I Googled "Title generator" and found this doodad. It just generates them randomly, but a few funny ones have cropped up in the vein of "The Servant of the Something" or even more bizarre examples like "Past in the Female".

Oddly enough, I have a title for a story that takes place after this one ends about a character who shows up at the very end of the last one (see how awkward this gets?), but that one's far in the future as far as priorities go and may never actually get written. At least I'm about halfway through the current one, so I'm not even thinking about that other one right now. I can barely do one at a time!

But yeah, it's still "Untitled" until further notice unless I get bricked in the head with something particularly good.

So yeah, Universe? Got any spare InspiroBricks™ lying around? For once I'd welcome one.
