I don't know what to name my Book?


Question Posted Saturday January 11 2014, 5:30 pm

So here is a very short over-view of it: Katy and her friends are a close knit-group including seven different people with different ages (all 18+) and gifts such as one person can get anything (legal or illegal) another always has money etc. They all met because of one girl, Claire. The books plot and problem is having to reconnect with all of their pasts leading up to how they became who they are today and having to face their problems. (It's more interesting than it sounds.)

So far I have nothing much but barely a first chapter and an overview. It's an R rated book that inludes a lot of drugs and violence, its inspired by the show: Skins. I'm hoping to make a series out of it, but I absolutely love the simple yet daring name skins. It doesn't reveal much about the tv series, but it gives off the right vibe when you are knowledgeable of the shows plot.

Each book will include their adventures of being in the popular battle of peer-pressure, societys rules and morals. I'm looking for a very simple and memorable name, something that you see in the book store and just pick it up due to the title, you know? Thanks in advanced

So if I understand correctly, it could be seen as their 'past' catching up with their 'present'. Maybe some word or two that signify that happening.
Too many people worry today about people finding out about their past and defining them today based on their past, which is not a good thing to do as people change and shouldnt be condemed for their past....so just the one word, "Defined" might apply. It's really hard to give you some clue. Sometimes a book doesn't get it title until the writer is almost done writing it. I was probably 6 to 8 chapters into a book I am writing before I settled on a name for it.
I have read books where the title makes no sense as to what the book is about and not until far into the story does one of the characters say something odd, different or profound where a short phrase of it was used as the title. I still think it odd but one series of books I am thinking of became a great hit, despite the titles. Good luck!
