Name That Blog Contest

8/18/2012

So I've been trying to come up with a suitable name for this writing craft blog and the best I've been able to do is "Field Notes" (taken from those little moleskin notebooks). No one ever said coming up with a title is easy, right? So I've decided to open it up to you: what do you think this page should be called? Submit your suggestions in the comments section by October 1, and I'll choose a winner.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention the grand prize! The winner will receive a 3-pack of West Virginia County Fair Field Notes (or the state of your choice, for those living outside of WV).

UPDATE #2: And we have a winner!

Here's an effort toward naming the blog. I feel like we are "Writers-in-Training" vs. the already named Community Writing Workshop even though you didn't ask for comments on that. So I suppose you could name the blog that, i.e., For Writers-in-Training

Hey, Susan! Great idea. Oops, sorry, didn't mean to be so narcissistic. ;) More blog naming ideas: 2) Kapcala Word Matters
3) Wordcraft 4) Kapcala Writing Matters Okay, my favorite so far is 4. Keep 'em coming, Susan.

Hey, we've got some suggestions! Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Susan! Speaking of narcissism--I'm not so sure I want to brand the blog with my name. I mean, we could go with Jason Kapcala's Chocolate-Frosted Shards of Wisdom, maybe, but I'm hoping it'll be more communal than that. Keep them coming!

Chocolate-Frosted Shards of Wisdom sounds like the worst cereal ever...

Notes from the Underground-Writer's-Workshop? Too Dostoyevsky? He also copyrighted The Dead, so that one's out.

Others: "Few Choice Readers" -A Line by the Roman Poet Horace

"Built-in, Shock-Proof Shit-Detector" -Hemingway, actually

I just got back from class, and clearly am a bit punchy.

Name that Bolg entry: Incremental Perturbations

Ah, yes, named after John Barth's definition of plot, of course: "The incremental perturbation of an unstable homeostatic system and its catastrophic restoration to a complexified equilibrium." Not bad . . . .

Keep them coming!

Kathleen, I think we both came up with the idea as we gabbed our way out of The Bookshelf after class--it was, as I recall, Words on a Page....ss
