Question for the writers out there
Jan. 13th, 2012 11:32 amI have this fic that gnawing at my brain and I'm itching to work on it, but I have this weird...thing...where I can't work on a fic before I know certain things about it - characters, the BIG problem, overall flow, ending...TITLE.
And that's where I'm stuck. The title.
I think I have pretty much this entire story figured out, but the darn title. and leaving it as Untitled H50 AU Restaurant isn't an option. Like...at all. THIS NEEDS TO HAVE A TITLE. By May 1st.
Normally when I come up with a title, I use the line from a song that's the overall inspiration for the piece, or a line from the fic that's been simplified...but in this particular case, I don't think I can do that. And I'm not too fond of random titles that have nothing to do with the story either.
So my question to you fic writers is: HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH TITLES?
And that's where I'm stuck. The title.

THANK YOU!
Jan. 13th, 2012 01:26 pmThanks to everyone who gave their advice for titling their stories.
I now have a working title for my Untitled H50 AU Restaurant.
IF I decide to keep it, some might be confused as to what the fic is about, but it's just stupid enough that I happen to like it and it suits the overall theme of the fic.
so y'know, I'm thinking about keeping it.

well hello there
Jan. 13th, 2012 04:56 pmapparently there was a class action lawsuit against Chase Bank and I got a nice settlement.
nearly a week's paycheck!
but this is good!
I can deposit it and get my hockey tickets for Jan 22nd and not have to borrow money from my mom!
waiting to see if I get something back from the Walmart/Netflix settlement
