Exploring a new

Post by Jim_in_RP »

My developmental editor, has suggested that I try to come up with a new title from my autobiography.
She thinks the title is too long, "THE BAMBOO BOOGEYMAN, The Stuff Nightmares Are made Of".
My autobiography is centered around PTSD, what I call THE BAMBOO BOOGEYMAN. There is no doubt in my mind Dad had PTSD, that he was never treated for. If that is true then my entire life was influenced by PTSD, through Dad and then by the VIET NAM war.
I know I am asking a lot by asking for your suggestions for a different title, when I have only posted about 6 of the stories here, out of more then 120.
Personally, I think the bogeyman is still the better choice.
Would any of you like to take a look at the Contents section? I am still working on it.

Just shorten it to "The Bamboo Boogyman".

The kicker (The stuff nightmares are made of) can go inside.

I totally agree with your suggestion, and that's exactly the way it's going to be. :)

THANKS
