Title: AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

  1. My inability to think of a title is actually distracting me from my writing. Not that I should be doing either of those things right now. I need to be at work in less than six hours and I haven't slept yet.

    I don't know... I'm almost done with the story, and it still hasn't presented itself to me. I'm gonna have to beat it out of him (because my story is totally a he...) if this goes on for much longer.

    There are certain things I want the title to include in some way: Dogs, Quid Pro Quo, making stories for yourself, reinventing yourself and college. See my problem? What kind of title is that supposed to make?

    The story is about a guy and a girl who after the death of their respective fathers decide to reinvent themselves as they enter college. One wants to calm down, become a good guy. The girl wants to live more, experience the world and actually do things. They find changing is not easy, and decide to help each other out. To my surprise there is very little love in the story. I like how they ended up more brother and sister like than lovers as I had originally planned.

    Thought writing the story down like that would help me see something... it didn't. I'm just whining.

    Hey spklvr,

    I share your pain. Giving my current project a name is proving to be a real struggle. I remember posting a question about it once and I was told by nearly everyone to JUST WRITE! And not to worry about a title yet. I see the sensibility in that, but striving for that perfect title is important, especially when it's usually the first word/s read in a book. Unfortunately, because I'm in the same boat as you I can't really offer any advice, except for what's been said to me, or any title ideas. I wish you luck though, and if you find the magic solution to this annoying problem please let me know :)

    What I did up there usually helps me a lot. Take a few key words, stuff the story revolves around, and try to get something from it. It's not working out for me yet on this particular case, but it will. I hope.

    between being able to write a story and not having a title, or not being able to write a story and having a title, i think i would chose your problem any day. if you don't come up with one, someone else will. the important thing is you got the story out. good luck with it :)

    Yeah I've done that with previous stories. However, like with yours, it just doesn't seem to be working this time, I'm not satisfied. Oh well, we'll figure something out ;)

    P.S: Dean looks just about ready to kick someones butt! Lol. I love Supernatural :D

    It's actually from a screenshot of when Cas showed his FBI badge upside-down. He's so cute :)

    Bah! Hahah! Yeah I remember that. Cas hasn't been around lately though :(, well at least in the episodes showing at the moment. I actually have a signed autograph of Misha Collins which me and a friend won for a supernatural fanfic we did. We came second.
