A short line of dialogue or a memorable sentence from your story can sometimes be the right choice.

Hey, I did this with Hard Targets, and I try and do it in some way with my stories, depending on them. So I was doing something right! I wonder if that's why Hard Targets gets quite a lot of hits on ff.net?

This was a great little article! Hey, if I get to write Hunted I'll keep it as "Hunted" now lol!

But I'll remember to keep them short from now on (most are actually - except Face's Ten Things...but it worked for the film ;o)) No more than five words! Which is generally what I do ;o)

Great find! Thank you!

ddrr! Can't edit!

What I meant, I wonder if that title is a good one, as it gets a lot of hits compared to some of my other stories. That and it's only 16,000 words! Can't believe how short that story is now!

I think the title must have a lot to do with it - it's intriguing, and ominous sounding without being totally dark. I can't explain it but it's just a good title. ;)
