It was Ray Bradbury, in his book ZEN IN THE ART OF WRITING, who taught me about making lists of words and turning them into titles. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it.
Today's word is: Mockingbird
Also, I'm going to assume most everyone knows about the "new" novel by Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird.
So these are two reason for choosing the word. And now... let's play!

Have you ever heard this song before? Do you like mockingbirds? Have you heard any bird song lately? Got a mockingbird title or story?
That is an odd title for a song.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard a mockingbird once. If I remember right, they are noisy.
A Mockingbird to her mirror.
ReplyDeleteThe Mockingbirds lament.
Three Mockingbirds in a boat (sorry this is getting a bit silly I had better stop now!)
I hadn’t heard the song before, but I enjoyed it.
Fun exercise. And I like your title ideas.
ReplyDeleteThe Mockingbird of Shannara!
ReplyDeleteJurassic Mockingbird.
That was a true vintage song. I loved hearing it. I've never heard a mockingbird. We're overrun with Blue Jays, but not a single mockingbird!
ReplyDeleteLike the idea of using a word and building a title. I'll have to try that.
My Lonely Mockingbird, My Lovely Mockingbird, Mockingbird War. . . okay, I'm just throwing out crazy word combos now, but hey. I like the idea of playing with titles!
ReplyDeleteThis new generation will think you're confusing that with Mockingjay. :)
