Some of you may remember my anxiety trying to think of THE RIGHT title for my memoir. Although I wasn't anywhere near being finished, it was extremely important to me to choose one. After I did, I felt I could focus better on writing.
In just the past couple of days, it came to me. I ran it by some writer friends yesterday, and then Lou, my publisher at High Hill Press. Everyone loved it! So......without further ado......my memoir's title is............
From Pigtails to Chin Hairs
A Memoir & More
What do you think? Any thoughts??

Hah. This title is hilarious. I love it. Chin hairs, omg, can't wait to read this.

That is a very funny title! Reminds me of an Erma Bombeck title! Good for you!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
What a hoot. That will certainly get attention on the book shelves.

I like it a lot and think it's a fun name. I think this title will make people want to pick it up and read it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I know I need to go look for some chin hairs. :)
ReplyDeleteReally like this title! Definitely an attention getter!
ReplyDeleteGreat title, Becky. I can't imagine what you mean by "chin hairs" but I guess you...oh, I just caught sight of myself in a magnifying mirror. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteSo thaaaat's what you mean...
Humor always appeals to me. I like it!

PERFECT! Will catch an eye on the book shelves!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, what a hoot, reminds me of Fannie Flagg writing. I know you are having fun writing your memoir! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteJust this evening I had the mirror out trying to see if the "chin hairs" had showed up yet this month. Fun and funny title.
ReplyDeleteYou grabbed me with the chin hairs. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! I wish I'd thought of it myself. It's perfection in a hilarious way, and it would make me read your book immediately.
ReplyDeleteGreat title! Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove it. And if time permits you could put the chin hairs in pig tails.
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly read it when it comes out. But you knew that already.
I agree it does have that Erma Bombeck humor wrapped inside of it~ Sounds intriguing!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats, Becky, it sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great name!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Hilarious. I know what you mean about searching for the perfect title. But each work is different. Sometimes you don't know exactly what you're trying to say till you find your title. Sometimes the title just leaps out at you after you write the last word. That's what makes each book an adventures...xojudi
ReplyDeleteVery catchy and clever. I think it works!
ReplyDeleteFree tweezers with books! Fabulous idea. Can they imprint the tweezers with your name? Better than bookmarks or pens.
