Just my guess though! I am so not the expert (I follow blogs because they talk about food or movies at some point!!!).Alleged Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869021184116123477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715957141322738647.post-55563319658811234432011-04-16T20:38:13.119-04:002011-04-16T20:38:13.119-04:00Yuck, pitches!

Blog post titles usually show up and they have to have a bit of whimsy.<br /><br />BTW, Marie, I read and <i>loved</i> WATER FOR ELEPHANTS.

I often times feel I have little to do with the writing of my titles.

For example my topic for the letter O is obituary ... Mine! Don't think that word needs a hook. :-)Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.com
