Help Give My Thesis a Title Maybe


Bouvre

Recommended Posts

Recently, I’ve received the e-mail informing me that the rough draft of my thesis is due to my advisor in 24 days.

 

The current title is very likely going to be trashed, so I've been stressing about creating a new title for it.

 

So let's play a game:

I don't tell you a goddamned thing about what my thesis is about,

and you generate a title for it.

 

All you get to know is that it's a work of fiction, novel-length.

 

Here's the prize:

If I'm inspired by ANY part of your title

-- or multiple user’s titles --

I'll put those users in my master's thesis acknowledgements page

and read your username aloud to the audience,

and for a brief moment, you'll be marginally

indirectly

introduced to a crowd featuring award-winning poets, nonfiction, and fiction writers.

 

There is a chance nobody will win. Because let's face it,

the odds of landing even a partially relevant title

to work you know nothing about

is pretty slim.

 

But you also have nothing to lose

and a very very tiny award to gain.

I'd love to see the jacket design for a book with a title that damned long.

Questionable Expectations

 

(My lab partner and I named our first genetics lab report "Corn and Punishment," so this is not without precedent.)

 

This could be the title of my memoir about writing this and being in an MFA simultaneously.
