Just for information's sake...

E.L. James knew she wanted to hit it big by writing a popular book.  Many ideas and concepts came to her before she settled on her eventual best-seller Fifty Shades of Gray.  The following are just some of the possibilities she considered…
  1. Fifty Shades of Greyhounds:  A discussion of colour variances found in racing dogs.
  2. Fifty Sheets of Grey:  The story of a frustrated house wife who cannot seem to get her bedding clean enough on laundry day.
  3. Fifty Slates of Gray:  A geological treatise on metamorphic mudstone.
  4. Fifty States of Gray:  An alternate history fiction positing what life would be like if the Confederacy had won the Civil War.
  5. Fifty Shays and a Dray:  An examination of how many horse drawn carts are in a typical Amish community.
  6. Fifty Grades of Che:  A biographical work focusing on the school-life of Che Guevara.
And…
  1. Do Fifty Shots and Pray:  How to cope with yet another E.L. James book.
I'm Karl Fogsen.  Thanks for reading.
