Hai guys

writing is a huge part of my life. i love doing it, and it gives me peace and makes me calm. but it's also a real time taker. I am a perfectionist so when i start writing something i want it to be perfect, which costs time. I wanna create a gofundme as an opportunity to earn money with doing what i love the most, and getting more motivation to do it.

Giving me money is optional, just sending me a dm would also make my day but donating would be really nice and really appreciated :)

If You Give a Book a Title...

Book Titling FAQ

This post will mainly refer to novels and their nitty gritties, but a lot of this can also be applied toward short stories, novellas, poems and poetry collections, films, and the likes).

First Thing: What Does a Title Need to Do?

That depends on a lot of things. The listed things below are not always required but are typically all considered. You know your story best and what you intend on doing with it, so trim the list accordingly.

A title should…

represent the story, themes, and purpose as a whole

be marketable and easy to pitch

NOT resemble titles of other works in your genre

NOT be the exact same as another work, regardless of genre and medium (although some creator’s have proven otherwise; trust your instincts)

be easy to say and remember for an average joe when they bring it up in conversation

reflect your genre, sub-genre(s), and overall tone

make you feel proud to say and mention to others

get to the point

be interesting and raise questions or create mystique for someone unfamiliar (right between super-vague and super-specific)

be able to reach a wide audience

Are There Any Contingents?

Yes, both good and bad.

The Bad: If you are traditionally publishing, your publisher has the final say on the title. I know a lot of us have heard this scary statement, but I did some digging and found out some key things on this.

Yes, it is 100% true; a publisher has the final say. However, it doesn’t seem to be common practice and it’s not done without reason. A good publisher isn’t changing the title because they have their own good idea. When a good publisher changes the title, it’s because these industry professionals (who NEED your book to sell well) feel as if you have done a disservice to your book’s marketability with its original title. 

The most common reasons I could find for a publisher changing the title were:

It was too long

I’m not talking The Knife of Never Letting Go or Are All My Friends Hanging Out Without Me? long. I’m talking very wordy compound sentences long. Said-In-Two-Breaths long.

It was too specific and narrowed down potential readers

Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson appeals to many kinds of non-fic readers; The Roller Coaster of Emotions of a Mentally Ill Blogger by Jenny Lawson, although a funny title (and I love that book), narrows down that broad potential readership

You have to hook ‘em before they know what hit ‘em

It was too similar to another work

Either too similar to another work within the genre, too similar to another work within their publishing canon, too similar to another work coming out at the same time, too similar to a famous work, or just too similar to another work in general 

tl;dr: If you think you have a strong, unique, and effective title, chances are you’ll be able to keep it.

The Good: You could be off the hook for a lot of the “necessary” things for a good publishing title if you’re not publishing on a wider scale. If you’re posting on tumblr, Wattpad, AO3, et al. or you aren’t publishing for the public AND you care more about the title meaning than the “marketability”, than you are good to go. There’s no shame in publishing work for your own fun and not for a “bigger goal”. Plus, if you decide to aim for a bigger goal, you can always tweak the title. 

The Extra Good: There are opportunities to create nuanced titles all the time that don’t follow any “rule” listed in the first question. And even if they aren’t nuanced, IT’S ART! Do what you want! The advice here is simply to guide writers who want to focus on what makes a good title within a market. Both quests are noble and you should choose based on your story and your goal. 

The Extra EXTRA Good: A lot of leeway can be given for series installments (see below).

How Do I Know if It’s a Good Title?

A great way is to survey your friends, mentors, and writerly peers. You could give them the title your set on for feedback or you could give them a list of options for them to vote on. The purpose isn’t to let them decide if your title is bad or to choose which title, but for you to get feedback to use how you want. Sometimes I throw in filler titles that I come up with off the cuff and THEY are the ones who get chosen. Feedback is just food for thought.

Another way is to research published titles in the same genre. Both to analyze overused trends, patterns, motifs, and words AND to get an idea of what gets a lot of readers interested. Of course, the cover and author and so many other variables go into a successful book, but the title is at least one facet. 

Overall, you should think about its effectiveness. Does it evoke the tone you want? As you think about plot points and themes, does the title still make sense? Would you read a book with this title? Could this title be misleading in any way?

Slow Down! How Do I Find a Title in the First Place?

First, try to make a list of potential words and phrases to include in the title. There are many ways to find these which include, but are NOT limited to:

a common motif, symbol, image, or theme in the story

a character and their name

a once-said phrase/fragment from the text

a key word, phrase, setting, or name specific to the story’s world

words you like and/or sound pretty and are applicable

words that are uncommon but pretty and applicable (i.e. latin, historical/archaic terms, etc.)

a common expression, proverb, or saying

Now, let’s do some puzzle work.

Some of your words and phrases that you have compiled are perfectly fine on their own as titles. Other may need some support. I have a post on this concept, but I’m going to put it all here and expand upon it. 

Here are some common ways author’s arrange these words/phrases into the title*:

The Long-Title Metaphor w/ Imagery 

ex. The Knife of Never Letting Go

The Short-Title Metaphor w/ Imagery

ex. Lost Stars

A Sentence Fragment

ex. And I Darken

_______’s  _______

ex. The Savior’s Champion

The Main Character(s) (No Names)

ex. The Book Thief, The Help, The Time Traveler’s Wife, Dark Disciple

The Pair of Recurrent Theme(s) 

ex. Pride and Prejudice

_________ from ________

The Execution from the Silent Valley

The Easter Egg

ex. Fahrenheit 451

(paper burns at that temp)

The Command 

ex. Fall on Your Knees, Call Me By Your Name, Tell the Wolves I’m Home

The Introduction

ex. I, the Sun

An Utterance

I Might Regret This, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me

_________ of ________

Trail of Lightning, Evidence of the Affair, Monsters of Men

Adjective + Noun

Hillbilly Elegy, Sharp Objects

*some of these examples include titles that appear in their entirety within the text, which means the author didn’t really have to manipulate a list like yours, but I still think they’re good examples to know

How Should I Title for a Series?

For this answer’s purpose, I’ll be referring to series with interrelated stories rather than anthologies like Goosebumps.

There are two parts here: individual installments and the series as a whole.

Individual Installments:

You should look at other series of the same length and genre. Some have titles that correlate and some prioritize other things like imagery. 

* I’d also like to note that it is much easier to get away with a title that is similar/identical to another work if it is the 2nd+ installment in a series.

In fact, it’s easy to disregard most of the aforementioned “rules” for the 2nd+ installment once it’s under the umbrella of a unique first book title. You don’t have to worry about a title that will “hook” a random reader so much. You do that more with the first book. 

Here are some examples to get you started:

Dystopian trilogies

The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay

Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant

Historical trilogy

And I Darken, Now I Rise, Bright We Burn

Fantasy romance trilogy

Caraval, Legendary, Finale

Dystopian romance series

Shatter Me, Unravel Me, Ignite Me, Restore Me, Defy Me, etc etc

Matched, Crossed, Reached

YA Mystery/Thriller Series

The Naturals, Killer Instinct, All In, Bad Blood

Series Names

The series’ name can take so many different forms. So, as always, I’ve got some examples for you.

The Conqueror’s Saga

Chaos Walking Trilogy

The Hunger Games Trilogy

Only example here named after the first book

Southern Reach Trilogy

The Chronicles of Narnia

Variants

Willow and Birch

Goodnight Family

Above all, an effective series name is short, unique, and memorable.

I Have More Questions!

Awesome! At the risk of totally filling up someone’s dash with one post, I’m going to stop here for now. However, I encourage you to send further questions to my Ask box! Make sure it isn’t anon, though, because I will be updating this post with your question/my answer and I would like to give credit!

sub!shawn waking you up by eating you out plssss ❤❤

Words: 676

Warnings: NSFW

—

You woke up from your twitching leg and then from the wet feeling against your center. Still half asleep, you blinked a few times and looked down to recognize the bump in your blanket. Two huge hands were wrapped around your thighs and a thick head of hair tickled you down there. You squirmed and sneaked a hand beneath the blanket to get a grip of those curls. One of his hands let go of your thigh and pulled the blanket away so you could see him now as he ate you out like the good boy he was.

“I needed air”, Shawn mumbled apologetically against your pussy before he got back to work. His lips were plump and soft against you and his tongue teased your clit every now and then when it wasn’t occupied with licking up your juices.

“Hmm, what a good boy you are”, you sighed and ran your hand through his hair before you gave it a little tuck. His muffled moan made you grin. He had a thing for getting his hair tucked and judging by the noises, he was pressing his hips into the sheets to gain some friction against his cock right now.

His other hand grabbed your thigh again and pulled you closer to his mouth. His movements were lazy as if he wanted to enjoy this sleepy morning session to the fullest but it made the knot in your stomach form in the most delicious way. The slow circles that his tongue drew on your clit made you shudder. They were so gentle yet so intense, you could feel yourself getting wetter and wetter.

Shawn loved your reactions to what he did to you, whether is was your pussy throbbing or the little moans that left your lips whenever he focused on your most sensitive spot a little longer. His dick was rock-hard by now and he was sure the precum had stained the sheets already.

When you were practically dripping wet, he let go of your thighs and used his hands to give you even more pleasure. Two of his fingers entered your tight core while the other hand held you open, giving him even better access to your clit and the insides of your labia. He fingered you fast as the polar opposite to his slow and soft lips. But it was this mixture that made you rush to the edge. He was rubbing that special spot inside of you while his tongue played with your clit so gently.

He knew you were close when he felt your pussy squeezing his fingers.

“Are you gonna come for me, baby?”, Shawn gasped on your center as he rubbed his cock against the insides of his Calvin’s.

All you could do was nod and only a few moments later, you were moaning uncontrollably while your boyfriend licked you through your orgasm. Arousal ran through your body like little ants, it tickled every nerve and made your hips buck. You could feel yourself squirting slightly and when Shawn realized what was happening, he whimpered your name into your thigh and humped into the mattress desperately. Your fingers tucking on his curls as you went through your own orgasm didn’t help controlling himself either and before he could get up and calm down, he was already coming in his boxers.

You hadn’t noticed any of it so when you gently ran your hand through his hair a few moments later and asked him to get up to you, you were surprised by the stains in his boxers and on the sheets. A pink flush graced Shawn’s cheeks as he cuddled into you and hid his face in your neck.

“It was too much when you squirted”, he mumbled apologetically but you calmed him with a small shhh sound right away.

“This is so hot, Shawn. That you come just by making me come”, you whispered into his ear and moved away from him a little to give him a deep kiss on his swollen, still slightly wet lips.

The Way You Taste (Smut)

A/N: Super excited/nervous about this one. About 3.3k which is long for me, I’m not good with length usually lol. So, yeah. Feedback is appreciated. :)

The morning had been pretty routine: gym, shower, coffee, 8AM work meeting. But with Shawn finally at home after months of being away, the last thing she wanted to do was leave. When she got out of the shower this morning, she caught herself watching, watching as his back muscles make themselves rather prominent underneath his white t-shirt when he reached up to ruffle his fingers through his hair because let’s face it, there was no use in trying to run a brush through that curly mess. Her eyes lingering on his body, traveling up as she took notice in how toned he’s gotten while being away. Startled when her gaze met with his in the mirror. A smirk spreading across his face, catching onto what was happening. She blushed, walking past him to head into the bedroom before he grabs her by the wrist, pulling her into him.

a/n: I literally slammed this entire things out in 10 hours straight

Sunday was the day you had arrived with Shawn in sunny Amsterdam. It was the first day of his birthday week, and the very first night of celebrations. The day had been hogged up for the most part by your flight from Toronto to Amsterdam, however you had managed to squeeze in dinner with friends sometime after the flight. When you had gotten to your room that night you noticed something was off about Shawn. He hopped right into the shower and then right into bed. This was very unlike him, seeing as most nights the two fo you would roll around beneath the sheets together before falling asleep. However, your sleeping boy left you to attend the ache between your legs solo.

The night was young as you sipped on Teddy’s margarita’s, a sigh escaping your lips. You were perched on one of the three logs that surrounded the fire, listening haphazardly to the chatter around you as the substance settled into your veins.

You’re My Favorite

Something different. The idea just popped into my head and I had to write it. In which Shawn’s a CEO and you’re his secretary. Nothing but pining, teasing smut.

Three gentle knocks on the door was all it took for him to know that it was you. He’s learned the soft, barely audible way your knuckles hit the wood by now.

“Come in.” He calls without tearing his eyes away from the laptop screen in front of him, and you step inside with a vanilla folder clutched to your chest as you close the door behind you. His bottom lip involuntarily tugs underneath his teeth the minute your sweet perfume lingers in the air, and even though he’s still staring at the screen, he manages catch a little glimpse of the black pencil skirt you’re wearing that accentuates every curve of your hips and thighs as you take slow steps up to his desk.

Blue Jeans

I was bored and Shawn in blue jeans does things to me so here you go.

Word Count: 1K

Genre: Fluff and just a tiny bit of smutty topics 

Your gaze slowly trailed over the tight blue jeans adorning his body. You weren’t used to seeing him wearing anything other than his black skinny jeans, and you had to admit you were loving the new look.

The past few weeks he had been wearing blue jeans more and more often thanks to all the new outfits Tommy Hilfiger sent him wanting to promote their new line of summer clothes.

And now here you were, on the balcony of a random building that was attached to the roof, Josiah taking pictures of him as you and the boys hung out behind the scenes enjoying the warm summer day watching the sun set.

As the boys sat around one of the table placed in the middle of the balcony chatting among themselves you were too busy watching your curly headed boyfriend posing for Josiah.

The coffee cup he was holding onto seemed so small compared to his paw like hands. His gaze moved to you briefly sending you small smile and a wink your way as Josiah told him to change his pose.

“Hello?? [Y/N]!” you hear someone call out to you and you turn your head to see all the boy looking your way.

“What?” you say looking between them

“I’ve been calling your name for the past 5 minutes but your too busy ogling your boyfriend to notice” Brian says a knowing smirk on his lips.

You feel your cheeks heat up not realizing the boys hand noticed you watching Shawn the entire time.

“Shut up” you say rolling your eyes trying to play it cool

Routine Night

This is basically just a typical night in your guy’s household.

Word Count: 1.7 K. 

Genre: Fluff

I know the title sucks im sorry 

“Baby!” you hear Shawn call out to you as he enters your guys home.

“In the kitchen” you call out to him stirring the tomato sauce in the pan.

After a few minutes you feel his long arms wrap around you as he rest his chin on your shoulder his curls tickling the side of your face

“Smells so good” he says eyeing the tasty looking sauce

“Want to taste?” you grab a tiny pit on the edge of the wooden spoon holding your hand underneath it to make sure nothing falls on the ground as you turn around in his arm. He grabs onto the spoon on top of your hand putting the spoon in his mouth letting out a tiny moan.

“It tastes so good. But it could also be because I’m really hungry”

You poke his side as he giggles watching you go back to stirring the sauce.

He goes to grab some plates to set up the table as he asks you about your day, the same routine that you guys were used to. Whoever cooked dinner meant the other person would set up the table and wash the dishes.

Genre: Smut (just pure filth) and fluff of course. 

Okay but this is the dirtiest thing I have ever written, I NEVER go into this much details with smut but you guys asked for it soooo. 

Thank you to  @dylshoney for writing the first smut part of this. It help me so much with writing the rest of them! THANK YOU HUN!   ❤

And a HUGE shout out to @shawnvvmendes​ and @destynelseclipsa​ for editing this for me! you guys made this so much better with your feedback and fixing the little grammar and spelling mistakes. SO THANK YOU LADIES  ❤

And thank you @undertheniall for letting me use her gif!  ❤

The long white curtains were softly stirred as a soft summer breeze was carried into the dark bedroom. The hot sticky Toronto air didn’t provide much of a relief with the small gusts of wind it offered. Shawn’s air conditioning breaking down right in the middle of a heat wave was just simply bad luck.

The three big windows that covered the bedroom wall were opened all the way in hopes of letting some fresh air come into the room to keep the both of you cool but it definitely was not working. The air was still humid and sticky as ever.

Normally both of you would be groaning and moaning about the hot weather and how you couldn’t sleep and how uncomfortable it felt for your bed sheets to stick to your body from the heat, but at that moment you were too busy to care about the sweaty sheets sticking to your bare back.

“Honey.” Shawn’s breathless, leaning closer to press his lips to yours. You react almost immediately, dipping your head into him, losing yourself in the kiss like you always do. There’s something about the way he presses into you, submerging you into a feeling that you can only describe as pure bliss.

“P- please, honey.”

 He’s on his knees in front of the bed, doe eyes staring up at you with a small pout gracing his lips. He can tell you’re mad at him, deciding to stay still until you give him permission to get closer.

 You’re laid out in front of him, your legs hanging off the bed, thighs spread and exhibiting your most intimate part to him. Completely naked, propping yourself up on your elbows as you stare down at your boy teasingly, “What do you want, Shawn?”

 “Wanna taste you.” You can tell it’s taking everything in him not to break and submerge himself in you, but he’s already been bad, and knows the punishment will be worse if he steps out of line again. “Please baby, please let me make you feel good.”
