You type in something simple in Google and the next thing you're lusting over the most surreal, gorgeous, hideous snow globes. No hideous, is such a wrong word as the work of Walter Martin & Paloma Munoz is disturbingly beautiful. I was only looking for a picture of a snow globe for the blog post announcing the new title of my WIP and the next I'm in full-on lust mode.
Anyhow, this is how the original post should have read, and still does for the most part...
I retitled my WIP YA (welcome to acronymn city), Horrifiques, about a week ago. At first I was sitting with Snow Glass Globe, which I still adore but an Amazon search revealed it was too close to 'Snow Glass, Apples' by Neil Gaiman. I know titles aren't copyrighted and it's not even the same title but horror upon horror you don't want your story compared to Gaiman, it's a lose-lose situation. so I've played with words, swapped them around and finally settled on, Grim Glass Vein. I hope you approve and if you don't - :/) I work better with a title I love.

For what it's worth...I like the new title much better
It's worth a lot - thank you.
I like it too. I'm partial to alliteration.
It was Grim Glass Globe for a while until I said it very, very fast and got all tongue tied.
I am enamored of this one:

Love the new title.
Nice title, Cate. I think it works well.
Oh, I got a little shiver when I read the new title - I likey a loty - which sounds really stupid - but means good things!
Natalie, There's a story to be built around that snow globe, I'm sure.
Thanks, Danielle
Thanks, Aaron
Thanks, BT.
i looked at the snow globes yesterday, thought pretty, and then looked away.
and then i dreamed of them last night. very strange snow globes they are...
Awesome title. Now, a synopsis if you please...
Yes, Cate, I'm jumping on the new title bandwagon as well.
I just spent way too long looking at their snow globes. Holy god, that is lovely.
Your titles are inevitably not just cool as hell, but also give a perfect indication of what to expect. I don't know how you do it, but you have again. I think Grim Glass Vein is beautiful, and I hope it gives you the love you need!
Samantha, dreaming of those globes can bring only good things.
Barry, I hate you. :/)
Thanks, Alan.
Katey, they are so beautiful and so pricey.
I'm on board with the new title as well. And yeah, definitely a nightmare to get thrown into the pit with Neil Gaiman's work. :)
It's not somewhere I was prepared to go.
Gorgeous new title, I like it a lot!!
Thanks, Joanna.
