Spirit Blade 3 Subtitle Finalized!

Woohoo! I've just made a final decision on the subtitle for Spirit Blade 3! It was an entirely new idea that just came to me today and I'm VERY excited about it!

Stay tuned in March for the announcement!

Let me guess the subtitle is 3 lol

Crap, Rickster! You signed a non-disclosure! What are you thinking?

(sigh) Well, everybody please still try to ACT surprised when I announce it in March.

;-)

Now why are you gonna go and tell me that your gonna tell me something that your not gonna tell me????

Your as bad as the news....."Breaking news that will save your life.....later at 11"

I mean why do I need to know that there is something that I need to know but I can't know until later?

I don't mean to be the rotten apple, but thinking up the title and finalizing it in the same day seems kind of quick to me. Just a thought. Can't wait though!

That's part of the reason I'm waiting to announce it, just in case I'm being too quick. But I doubt that's the case. In my creative process it's not uncommon for me to be stuck on something for awhile and then suddenly hit on the idea I'm happy with and end up using.

I can usually recognize an idea that I'm going to remain happy with almost immediately, and this one hits all the criteria I've had in mind for the subtitle for a long time now, but just haven't been able to make something of before now.

Those criteria being:

1. Represent the central theme or nature of the story
2. Roll off the tongue easily without too many syllables
3. Sound cool and provocative even without knowing exactly what it refers to at the outset.

"Dark Ritual" fit all three well for Spirit Blade, and Similitude Of A Dream hit 1 and 3 so well for me that I didn't care that it might not be doing #2.

I think this subtitle will do all three very well. But I guess you guys will have to be the judge of that. ;-)

So . . . what I hear Paeter saying is that until the annoucnement, we should all come up with some alternative titles.

Here's what I've got:
1. Spirit Blade: 5 Years Is A Short Time Between Sequels. Right?
2. Spirit Blade: Return of the Jedi Seekers
3. Spirit Blade: Man of Steel (Raan)
4. Spirit Blade 3: Part 1
5. Spirit Blade: And it was all just a dream . . .

I might have misunderstood Paeter's post. I'm not always a good listener!
