Thomas (kaladin543) I will be starting a book on the life of a zombie.
I don't know what I will call it yet, anybody have any Ideas?

I will update it when i start my book.

Chloe (chloef13) Hi Thomas! Sorry, no ideas from me, the title is always the hardest part. Just use a working title for just now and see what feels right at the end?

Good luck!

Thomas (kaladin543) I know about "Warm Bodies". It is a really good movie.
I thought of using that, but it would have felt wrong, you know?

Lyndsey I 'REALLY' want to see warm bodies. I take it you both enjoyed it?

I think the idea of using zombies in a book is a great idea! There have been a lot of attempts at vampires, werewolves, and fairies in literature but not about zombies. You would have a lot of room to create your own ideas and still sound original.
As for a name, that's one of the most challenging parts of writing for me. When you name something, you try to capture the essence of it in the title. If you still can't figure it out later on, I would just wait until the book is finished to think up a name.

Thomas (kaladin543) I don't really like the vampires, werewolves, and fairies that much, I thought they were too girly

Ryan If you are trying to write something conventional, you should read through The Elements of Style, it has some helpful tips on writing and keeping your story coherent. If you're aiming for something a bit more unconventional, I have a short essay by David Fair that I feel could be encouraging. http://users.wfu.edu/breckers/howtopl...
While the guitar is not the exact same as writing, they are both forms of art and involve creation and can be approached in different ways. Good luck on your story!
