Comment by Craig Curtis on October 13, 2011 at 1:15pm: Cheri, spinning off the scripture Sharon mentioned it could be condensed to something like Joy Comes in the Morning. Another title I was thinking about was Eye of the Storm. But I agree your first title sounds like non-fiction, and even the second choice leans towards that as well.

Comment by Connie Foster on October 13, 2011 at 12:55pm: Cheri,

Taking it One Day at a Time, God's Way rings non-fiction to me. I love Sharon's suggestion. You could also consider just her name, Kaia. Remember, don't worry too much about your title. You're publisher will probably change it away:)

Now all you have to do is start shopping it around. Get an agent, get published, then teach me:)

Comment by Sharon Singley on October 12, 2011 at 4:36pm: OMG...I meant Lulu, not zulu! LOL!

Comment by Sharon Singley on October 12, 2011 at 4:35pm: I have actually written several short/inspirational stories that I published on zulu (nothing big, I just wanted to get them out there). I would love to see them in a chicken soup type thing!

Comment by Terry L Chandler on October 12, 2011 at 4:11pm: Tamara L Barney replied, but I just saw it! Sorry Tamara!

I'm a very busy woman, but not too busy to think. I love the thought of combining the stories for The Chicken Soup For the Soul with the fiction group.

Feedback please? What do you all think?

Comment by Sharon Singley on October 12, 2011 at 3:21pm: Thanks all!

Comment by Cheri Swalwell on October 12, 2011 at 10:24am: Thank you - I love that saying too. Thanks for the input, Jace.

Comment by Jace Carlton on October 12, 2011 at 10:07am: I vote for Sharon's suggestion of "The Promise". How's that saying go ... "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."

Comment by Cheri Swalwell on October 12, 2011 at 10:01am: Thank you Sharon. That sounds so pretty and so appropriate for the story. What a great suggestion. Really helps to paint the word picture I'm trying to create.

Comment by Sharon Singley on October 11, 2011 at 6:19pm: Hi Cheri,

I don't know what you can do with the scripture "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning," for some reason that comes to my mind when I read your synopsis.

Maybe simply "The Promise" and you can give the above scripture (or any one of a thousand) that point to the promise from God that we will have peace thru our tribulations as explanation for the name. Just a thought.
