It's very easy for me to come up with titles. I've been known to come up with titles first and then write a 100,000 word story just so I could use the title.
Usually, the title has something to do with the main point of the story (duh!). But, sometimes, the title comes from a song. For example, the current 'fic I'm writing got its title from the song
Breathless
by The Corrs.

Hello
Depa
!
I have a weird love/hate relationship with titles.
On the one hand, sometimes I come up with a title and then write the story that goes with it (example: "To See You Again"). Other times I have absolutely no idea what to put up as the title and only after I've written the story do I have an idea/grab a piece of dialouge/put up the main theme as the title. If a title doesn't immediately come to mind, then I usually have a moment of "Er? What am I going to call this?" Yeah, I'm not the best at coming up with good titles.

: Hi!
One of the absolutely maddening things that has happened to me several times in the past is this: I get a title, I make up a story to go with the title, I revise the plot so that the story is bigger and better, and then I find out that the title is no longer relevant.

Ah, how does the title become 'no longer relevant' to your story just because it's bigger?
I mean, look at 'Three New Sailor Senshi' (Shameless plug alert! I repeat, we have shameless plug alert!). It started out with just Tenel Ka, Jaina and Tahiri. Now there's almost a dozen Senshi. Still, the title works.

I didn't say that the title became irrelevant because the story got bigger; the emphasis is on the revision that the plot went through.

I guess I'm the only one who writes with an ending in mind and works toward that ending. Then again, I guess writing epics really isn't my thing.

I usually have certain moments in mind that I really want to happen in a story, and then I work towards them. like, in "Grasping at Dreams," I knew that I wanted to have jumping off the Fountain Palace be pretty much the climax of the story, but I had other moments in there that I wanted--writing for me, and what takes me so long on a lot of things is trying to connect those moments I really want--kind of like connecting the dots.

When thinking of titles for stories, I usually try to think of a major theme that threads itself into the whole story and pick one that relates to that.
Sometimes it doesn't always work out... but hopefully it ends up right. Hehe~

*Takes a look at Heather's titles*
I'd say it works out more often than not for you, dudette.

Well, now you know how I worry about endings.
And chocolate rules all.
*Thinks for a moment*
Oh, better get going on some more reviews. Hmm...I wonder if any of my stuff will get reviewed.
