[Writing] Where the Heart Is

[jon_chaisson]

Hey, readers! I have a goofy question to ask all of you.

I need a list of phrases with the word "home" in them. In particular, I need well-used phrases that will make sense if the word "home" is not used but implied (see my subject line). For the moment I'm using these as chapter titles for my Can't Find My Way Home project...this story is fun enough that I think this goofy idea is warranted, at least for now.

What I have so far:

Leave (or 'Leaving')
Welcome
Phone
Where the Heart Is

These do actually have something to do with the story, so it's not as if it's at random. If I use your suggestion, it will definitely be used so it makes sense within the context of the chapter itself.

Thanks, and you will be acknowledged if this ever sees print. ;)

Hmm. Somehow I don't think Homey Don't Play Dat will work, but I could probably use it somewhere... :p

Oh, and please tell me I'm not the only one thinking of the Iggy Pop song now because of this silly idea of mine. :p

BROKEN HOME

I find it amusing that I thought of the Tears for Fears song "Broken" and not the Nine Inch Nails EP. ;)

Is it any surprise these are all song related?

Home field/court advantage
Take me home, country road
Honey, I’m Home!
Don’t Leave Home Without It
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home
Homestead Act
Homeless
Eaten out of house and home
A woman’s place in the home
A house is not a home
A man’s home is his castle
Charity begins at home
Chickens come home to roost
Till the cows come home
Hearth and Home
And this little piggy went "wee wee wee" all the way home

Homestead is stuck in my mind for some reason. I don't know why! So there may be more forthcoming! :)
