  “ You take forever to order just like with everything else, you haven’t changed at all have you?” A familiar voice with an unfamiliar face calls from behind. A long-lost friend welcomes unfamiliar emotions. We stare at each other in silence because I don't want to have small talk. I know her life ain’t easy, and at the same time, I still fall into the same small talk I desperately want to avoid. Cause just looking at her I know it’s not easy. Taking care of four kids by herself while working at Church's chicken ain’t nothing to even smile about. But I still ask her “How's everything” because I have no clue what else I should say to you.

August 18, 2023 - #49 – Topic: BOOK TITLES and TAGLINES In this digital age, getting your book title right is probably much tougher and more important than it was fifteen or twenty years ago. It’s a lot more complicated now and not just a matter of a book cover or title grabbing a reader on the bookstore shelf. Most readers go on-line to see what book titles might be inviting and yea they might judge the book by its cover, especially by its title. If a friend recommends a book, the reader must either write it down immediately or remember the title long enough to follow up and order it. And what they will likely “brain-retain” will be an easy to recall or unique-sounding title. So, crafting a book title that draws a crowd is tricky. I usually go with my gut and invent my book title when I have a rough skeleton outline for my novel or short story. And then that working t...
