Or rather, “Two.”
Part 2, of this ongoing series on how to develop story titles.
Today’s lesson:
Play On Words
You have the entire language to work with, here:
*Words that sound like other words, of different meaning
*Popular catchphrases
*Slang
*Idioms, and
*Those dreaded clichés.
The onus is on you, to come up with clever combinations that inspire, amuse, or excite.
Some examples:
“Certainly Not Shaw”: A theatrical critique.
“The Days of The Silent Knights”: A fantasy series, chronicling the exploits of a ninja-style warrior sect.
“Dusted For Prints”: A murder is committed (someone is dusted) over some incriminating photographs.
“Too Many Cooks”: The Cook family patriarch dies, sparking a murderous scramble for the inheritance, among the surviving relatives.
“Counter Intelligence”: A guide to focused and time-managed supermarket shopping.
I’m sure you can think of others.
Till next time.
Peace
