This Lulu titlescorer is one of many tools the internet offers to let you pretend to glimpse into the heart of chaos and see order.
It works thusly: you enter a title and it tells you what that title's chances are of being a bestseller. I wish it gave a rationale too cuz I feel like I'm flailing. Here's how titles I am considering stack up:
MOST BEST (72.5% chance)
Eli on Wednesdays
STILL WOW (63.7% chance)
America's Children
The Kingmaker
PRETTY STRONG (59.3%)
Shoelessness
Faith
MIDDLING (35.9% chance)
Applebaum, Agent of God
The Agent and the Angel
Agent of God
EH (20-some% chance)
Bless You, Mr. Applebaum
Til They Were Whole
WORST (10% chance)
On Holy Ground
Man, "Eli on Wednesdays" as a title is why I wrote this book. I KNEW it was foul-proof and generally awesome. Trouble is, the book as it developed has nothing to do with that title ...
