As my writing friend Jenn (Barnes) Bishop wrote recently, it’s fairly common for books to have titles drawn from a phrase somewhere in the book.

I’ve always considered myself pretty good with titles. They usually come up before I’ve written a word. But, in keeping with this challenge, I’m going to troll my work-in-progress for eight truly terrible titles. Join me!

1. Drunk as Captains

2. I have not come for gawking

3. A sprig in a man’s body

4. Green scream

5. The thing is human

6. Cuarto’s bancat

7. Sym bides his time

8. The general’s scent

To continue this challenge, I’m tagging Callie C. Miller, A.S. King, Aimee Payne and Ingrid Sundberg.
