Yesterday I took a look at
book eighteen (“Dog is my Copilot”) of my BloodMoon
series and feel like the chapters are starting to take shape. It put me in the
mood to share my title list, for… you know… grins. I hope you enjoy the
silliness.

I
am happy to say that many of the twenty-four titles aren’t strictly American English sayings
(some adapted from other cultures, I’m learning, which is cool). Most tie into
the storyline. For example, “Dog is My Copilot” features an airplane crash
which skilled, dedicated pilots kept from causing any fatalities. Well, almost.
My hero… well… never mind.
Do you
have any more animal based sayings to suggest in case I need more?
Alas, the phrase 'Cat in Control' has been used. (It's on one of mugs a friend got me for my birthday in fact.) Um, Cat Capers? :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks. That brings another thought to mind: "Cat Burglar". You rock. Hope you're having a great day!
DeleteHave you used Bark at the Moon? Having a Hissyfit? Hair of the Dog that Bit You? I will email you...🐱❤
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I can't believe how many of these never occurred to me. That's what friends are for, though, right? ~hugs~ I copied your entire email into my Scrivener doc for future reference.
DeleteDog Gone! I think that is a saying. HAHA...you are so silly. I have yet to jump and start writing my short stories. When I am in the right frame of mine I need to read on how to get started in that process. Best of luck on all your writing. Annie seems to have a lot of sayings for you. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOoh! She didn't have Dog Gone. How fun! I'm so glad I shared my silliness. ~hugs~ Hope you're warm and safe and free from pain tonight. The wind is howling outside as I type. Yikes. Glad my house is brick.
DeleteOh....and as for stop. Waiting around, well slept most of the day while waiting for the snow. Ice rain came and snow finally started around 3:30. Over by 5.....such a lot of NOTHING!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how much drama can come from a little forecast snow. ~grin~ We got heavy snow right around 4:30pm, rotten timing; I hope commuters made it home safe.
DeleteI sense a theme... Nice way to tie things together. (Alas, no, I can't think of any other animal sayings at the moment.)
ReplyDeleteOh, I take that back. Just thought of one. Barking mad.
Thank you, Liz. That's another new one. So weird that I didn't thank of a lot of these offerings. Makes this all the more fun and rewarding. Be well!
DeleteGreat list. How about , The Cat's Pajamas?
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you. These lovely suggestions made me glad I shared my silliness. Hope you're well!
