35.9%


Ouch.

If you're looking for a fabulous time-waster, go here. Lulu.com's Titlescorer takes some info about your title, plugs it into their fancy little, well, titlescorer, and tells you what the chance is of your title becoming a bestseller. The results are based on 50 years of study, 700 published novels, blah blah blah. It's slightly discouraging, but super fun all the same.

My results:

According to Lulu.com's Titlescorer, Stream Pirate only has a 39.5% chance of becoming a bestseller. Blind has a 63.7% chance, White Like Ashes a 69% chance. That makes Stream Pirate my lowest ranked title. Sad. I rather liked it.

PS: Random chuckle for the day.

    How did you know I was looking to waste some time! Brilliance, I tell you.

    Yeah, Lulu is totally inaccurate. It said RELAX, I'M A NINJA only had a 20% chance of being a bestselling title.

    Let's face it, we all know my title ROCKS.

    The End of Normal scored a 44.9% not too bad and not too good either.

    How fun!

    Miss Midas got 60%

    Searcher 49%

    Not bad. Though . . .*hangs head in shame* I confess to being a bit unsure of which exact grammatical words to describe my titles.

    Gotta read me some more Strunk and White, I guess.

    btw, how tall are you? (noticed your new stuff on the sidebar.)

    I'm 5'10. With shrimps like Kiersten and Natalie running around here we tall girls have got to stick together. ;)

    Renee -- Don't worry; I'm not sure I did the grammar part right either...and you've got one inch on me :) My sister, though, is 5'11. Yeah. My YOUNGER sister. We grow 'em tall in this neck o' the woods. I kind of envy Kiersten and Natalie though. They can wear heels without feeling like the Jolly Green Giant.

    lol, very true. I've always claimed to HATE heels, but I think that half of the reason is because I don't have the guts to wear them and be 6'3. :)

    The title Twilight has a 35.9% chance of being a bestselling title...

    Lulu Sucks Lemons-- a play on words from the line of Yoga products, er, Lulu Lemon, (The title Lulu Sucks Lemons has a 10.2% chance of being a bestselling title).

    Am I procrastinating, or what???
