Heeey, I mentioned Rough Draft too. :P
But I don't care, I'm more or less pleased that you pronounced my name right. (No one does that usually.)
Last year my novel's chapter titles came from a word or two (or four) from songs on my playlist. They'll probably get removed eventually too, as a lot of the titles are kind of silly seeming now...
Ack! There's the peril in mentioning people - missing important things, pronouncing things wrong, not mentioning people... oh well. I'll have to take my chances (it get's comments on the site at least).
It's going to be hard this year not to use the cheap padding I mean idea-generating trick of song lyrics to start chapters.
