Name Sarah Palin’s Memoir

Sarah Palin in Carson City, Sep 13 2008

Image via Wikipedia

File this in the I-couldn’t-make-this-stuff-up category: Sarah Palin’s memoir will be titled Going Rogue: An American Life. As far as phrases referring to or used by Palin go, this was a pretty good one to use for the title of her memoir.

But there are others. Many others. So let’s pretend for a moment that Palin’s book didn’t yet have a title: What would you name it?

Sarah Palin Memoir “Going Rogue” Due November 17.

    “PalinDrome” (The book will make just as much sense if you read it backwards!)

    Ah, lets go the dictionary…rogue…from Miriam Webster: : vagrant, tramp
    2 : a dishonest or worthless person : scoundrel
    3 : a mischievous person : scamp
    4 : a horse inclined to shirk or misbehave
    5 : an individual exhibiting a chance and usually inferior biological variation
    — rogu·ish \ˈrō-gish\ adjective
    — rogu·ish·ly adverb
    — rogu·ish·ness noun

    Now go to a thesaurus:

    rogue
    Function: noun
    Meaning: 1 a mean, evil, or unprincipled person — see villain
    2 an appealingly mischievous person — see scamp 1

    Read and use in title. Have fun and send reference material to editor or author.

    About Me

    I am a freelance writer, editor, and Web consultant who primarily covers health, travel, and lifestyle topics. I have written for Redbook, Cooking Light, The Travel Channel, and The Writer's Chronicle, among others. I recently wrote a couple of travel guides about Houston and am the Blog Managing Editor at PsychCentral.com. Previously, I was the editor of InTheFray.org and a blog editor for Photo District News.

    I like to pay homage to the importance of books—print, digital, and otherwise—and reading in our lives because that's what got me here, cliched as it sounds. This blog is my attempt to do just that.

    Have story ideas or know about some cool new literary or literacy-related project I should cover? Send me an email at laura.nathan@gmail.com. Or find me on Twitter (@lnathan).
