Drabbles; Still searching for a better title...

So, the other day I was really frustrated that the next chapter of my story is not going as planned and someone suggested that I started writing drabbles.

For those of you who do not know what drabbles are: "A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the title. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space." (via: Wikipedia)


I wrote two so far: Jealousy (Sam) and Discomfort (Andy) - both based off of 3X08. My issue is that I cannot think of a title for it (and I don't want to post them separately on ff.net because each one is exactly 100 words) - so I was wondering if anyone has any title suggestions that would encompass multiple drabbles. Also, if you have any other ideas - give me a word and a person (I'm not limited to just Sam and Andy), and if it is episode specific and I'll give it a try.


Thanks in advance!


ETA: Still don't love the title of it but since I started posting, I figured I would edit the topic title - and post all of the drabbles in the first post as well:

Jealousy: Sam Swarek
Discomfort: Andy McNally
Useful: Noelle Williams
Anger: Sam Swarek
Love: Sam Swarek
Wanting: Chris Diaz
Fear: Andy McNally
Uninhibited: Sam Swarek
Responsibility: Frank Best
Guilt: Sam Swarek
Sorrow: Andy McNally
Numb: Traci Nash
Friendship: Sam Swarek
Unfair: Andy McNally
Ultimate Sacrifice: Jerry Barber
Heartbreak: Andy McNally
Untouchable: Sam Swarek
Wait: Nick Collins
Wait: Andy McNally
Wait: Sam Swarek
Wait: Gail Peck
Name: Andy McNally
Blurt: Sam Swarek

I really like it but I think someone already used "Green Monster" in the title (and I try not to take titles if I can help it) - and I hope to do more than just two.

Sigh, why is it that the hardest part of writing is coming up with titles?

How about just Envy and Unease then, rather than going for metaphors? Or Envy and Ennui if you want some alliteration?

I think I just need to sleep on it - this is just frustrating for me because not posting tonight might mean having to wait until Thursday. Oh well, while I thought about a title, I wrote drabble number 3 - Useful (Noelle) - also based off of 3X08. By the time I actually figure out a title, it will be interesting to see how many I have done.

I was thinking of the "seven sins". Don't know if it suits your plans, but I love the idea of connecting the "cardinal sins" to our (sometimes miserable and poor) lives. :D

So, I decided to start posting (since I'm going away and don't know when I can post again) and my 'working title' for now is Fleeting Feelings.


First chapter: Jealousy: Sam Swarek

Thanks! I'm on my iPod right now so I can't respond to reviews (I will get to it) but people can request any character and any episode - I'll give it a shot

Thanks! I'm a little bit nervous about the next one because it is not 'McSwarek' but I had a lot of fun writing Noelle - should be up tomorrow.

@sillygyrl8 - I'm really liking it! I'm thinking about switching the title to that (but if I do - it will be around the time that I post drabble #5 which is currently titled 'Love: Sam Swarek' - 3X07)

Going back home today (yay - but not so thrilled about the 4 hour car ride) so I wanted to get this up before I left: Useful: Noelle Williams

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about this one because it is not Sam or Andy - but Noelle was AWESOME in 3X08 and deserves one of her own.
