Sometimes I think we writers spend way too much time working on our WIPs. We burst blood vessels trying to make our first lines witty. We read the chapters aloud to make sure they sound smooth. We agonize over titles, page count, word count, genre. There isn’t really a part of the WIP we don’t worry about.
So let’s let some of that go. Today, write down ten titles for novels you will never bother writing. Here’s mine:
The savage of New York City
Murderers, Inc.
Fitness for Zombies
Facelift for a Siren
A Mermaid’s Gift
Suicide Tower
Saving for Sunshine
The Dog with Blue Nails
Future’s Sketch
The Last Zit of Adolescence
Feel free to take anything that inspires you. ^^

Ha! Okay. Sounds like a blast! Do you pick a title before writing the first draft? Choosing a title baffles me.

I do both. Life of a Suburban Unicorn, Confessions of an Alchoholic Werewolf, and the Diary of a Non-Conformist Vampire Victim are all books where i picked the title first.
Most of my short stories get written first and then develop a name on their own.
