[QUOTE="GoldenSmith, post: 2250294, member: 786934"] Jade is right. A proper title cannot be chosen at least until the first draft is finished. A title can be a poignant scrap of dialogue, a prominent thought form the story. The title should really not include the name of the character. True, some great American novels do include the character's name, ie, The Great Gatsby, Anne of Green Gables, Hamlet, etc Your story sounds great, but along with all of my novels, it probably will not be the next great American novel.
