L.C. Tang Hello fellow writers,

I need a few suggestion as to what name this particular chapter I just finished writing in the sequel to my first book.

I wrote a chapter about pests such as cockroaches, bed bugs, lice and mice on cruise ships.

What should I call this chapter?

All suggestions are are welcome.

Thanks,
Lincee : )

Marijan Milos | 3 comments that's interesting, I like to name chapters, too... and this is actually similar to a chapter in my manuscript where I wrote about rats on a sinking ship and how they act, and in turn how people mimic their behavior when in a similar situation; I named it 'Instinct' to reflect its main theme - short, succinct and to the point...

and by the way, I think titles are VERY important, so in general they should reflect the mood you want to convey - eg. I was going for a darker mood in my chapter, so it all depends on what you want to say...

for that same reason, I changed my novel's title from a semi-comedic one to a darker one, because as I was writing it, I realized mystery genre would suit it better, so I renamed it 'The Candidate'.

so is it a funny chapter? is it a serious one? we would need more information to go off of
