Assistance requested.

I'm currently redesigning my website (which I won't bother linking ), and I'm going to standardize my stories' formats and put them all in one area. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me come up with a name for this area. At first, I was thinking "Wordsmith's Den" -- but that's corny, pretentious, and probably taken elsewhere. Alternatively, I could stick with just "Writings", which I have been using up until now.

Suggestions and comments, if you will.

I'd go for a simple "Words". It's mysterious enough to lead your visitors to check it first.

Re: Assistance requested.

Yeah, I like simple. That's why I picked "writings" in the first place. It's simple, it immediately tells you what the content is, and it's one word.

"Words" would be pretty cool, actually.
Any more?

(I love the speed with which this community responds. At other forums, I have to leave a post overnight to get a decent response.)

Sounds like 'Pretty Cool Words' would suit then.

I have low self-esteem, though. I can't call my words Pretty Cool, as I'm not sure they actually are.

A thought recently came to me: "Mediocrity at its Finest" -- Though it's so simple, it's probably been used a hundred times.
