If the book cover looks lame, I'm putting it back on the shelf. Terrible, I know.

Funny, I was just thinking how cute your blog title was! I like that, too! <br /><br />And I think book or movie titles are exceptionally important. One compliment I've received over and over is how much people like the title of my book (The Mistaken.) It sums it all up in one word.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040067023341730391.post-43926252041066209352011-07-07T19:17:54.825-05:002011-07-07T19:17:54.825-05:00A-squared - You don't even know the half of it...A-squared - You don't even know the half of it! The original script for Pretty Woman was a gritty drama about a drug-addicted, abused hooker picked up by a slimy businessman, and in the end they don't get together. Disney's Touchstone unit bought the script and had it rewritten into a Cinderella romcom. Aren't you glad publishers don't bring in rewriters?Philip Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148279503538324679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2040067023341730391.post-30779725441464395582011-07-07T16:45:03.520-05:002011-07-07T16:45:03.520-05:00The original title for "Pretty Woman" wa...The original title for "Pretty Woman" was "Three Thousand"?
