I don't honestly know. I love a good pun and this one just kind of came to me. It seemed like it fit the overall lighthearted tone for the book, so it stuck.

The best part of being an author is the hours upon hours of writing, revising, and then revising again only to get zero recognition and then selling copies to only your friends and family....is that believable?

I just forget about it. Let the work sit there until it clicks. Sometimes it's a day or two, sometimes it's months or years.
