I'm trying to come up with a title for the sequel to (W)hole.
I love that title so much and I've painted myself into a corner because I can't find something to match it! I want to do something with the same touch of word play, but that might be a lost cause.
Right now the working title is Accept/Except, but I think that's too clunky.
The plot is very focused on Elizabeth's relationship with her parents and how they hold her back while she tries to explore her devness and understand herself better. The central conflict is Elizabeth's desire to be understood, fully seen, loved, and accepted as she is by her mother in particular.
Any thoughts?

I don't like accept/except.....I think you can just use something simple, one word like whole but it doesn't need to be a play on words.

Try some standard prefixes on words that might be descriptive, (un)encumbered came to mind but I bet there are lots that could be made that way.

Ruth I was going to suggest "Able". It sounds like Elizabeth becomes able and her wheeler friend is definitely able. Whats more it is a nice follow on from "whole"

Oh, that is nice too. Hmmm, so much to think about.
I had someone through email suggest Breath(e) and I'm getting very attached to it! Isn't it pretty? And keeps the theme of a single word with multiple meanings.
Never too soon to start thinking about the title for the third, though. Believe me, I plan to follow Elizabeth's story as she grows! "Able" or some variation of that is a contender for sure.

Loves "Breath(e)" and thinks you should tattoo both that and (W)hole on your body.

I´m thinking: (W)hole for the first book, "Complex" for the second and "Complete" for the third. These are nice sounding words which tie the trilogy together and express Elizabeth´s feelings. Furthermore the W and the C form the abbreviation for wheelchair! You could have a logo drawn up!  . |

(SH)OUT
Whole and Hole come with an impact, put two different meanings together.
Breath and Breathe come too close, loose the impact and do not follow the (w)hole's theme, only from my understanding of the title.
Shout and Out may express your feeling that you urge your mother's understanding and want to live the way you like.
just my silly thoughts
