The Many Names of my Curent Project

You know what's sad? The fact that I'm nearing the 10000 word milestone of my current project...
And it has no title yet.
Seriously. I've been calling it MLFL all this time, but I honestly don't have a solid title yet. It's odd- usually, the title is the first thing I come up with. So, here are all the titles I've considered so far, from earliest to latest:


  • The Thirteenth Month (because it has to do with the Thirteenth Month, an extra month every ten years where the god-like beings that play a huge role in the novel have a series of meetings. It's also when they're at their weakest. It's a major point of the novel.)
  • Marked (see, the original plot involved Luce getting "Marked" by Sin, where he pretty much has one year to survive. It came from a trailer for Beastly, so that's why. Yeah, that plot got cut off once I came up with the gods-thing- which is recycling an idea I've attempted three times now- but I did keep the marks, just changed them around a lot.)
  • The Times of Life and Death (This one's actually sort of self explanatory. The main things are Life and Death, and the MC was taken in by Death, so I just put it into a title.)
  • Living for Lies (MC's life is pretty much a bunch of lies- about who he is, about his life, about everything.)
  • My Life for Lies (Just recycling the one above into a new title.)
  • Half Past Dead (This one's my favorite, as it seems the most like the novel. MC's dead, he's died a bunch of times.)
The kicker? This has only been around for about a month! Less, even. Any thoughts on the titles? Feel free to tell me.
