I've been having a fairy tale month.  No, I didn't move into a castle.  I've just been reading a lot of Cinderella stories.  

It started when I bought the book CHICKENRELLA for Lauren.  She loves it.  Not only because there is a princess involved, but because for quite some time we've been calling Lauren our chicken.  (This started when she was three years old and would "bock" like a chicken after being introduced to anybody new.)  Next, my older daughter begged me to order DOGERELLA from the Scholastic book forms.  Now, finally tonight, we watched the movie A CINDERELLA STORY with Hillary Duff.  It was cheesy, but cute--like most Cinderella stories are.

Of course, being a writer means I'm writing my own version of the classic.  When I get ink for my printer, I'll be submitting NINJARELLA to a New York editor I met at a conference.  She was a little too educated and urban for me to feel comfortable around, but I'm hoping the women's lib twist to my tomboy fairy tale will appeal to her.

I've got another idea, as well.  In fact, I just penned the rough draft, but I need your help.  This version is a fairy tale allegory.  Which title works better--SINNER ELLA or SINNERELLA?  I want readers to get the connection with Cinderella, but also have an idea that the ending is going to be "happily FOREVER after."  Thanks for your feedback!
