For me, sometimes titles have to be laboriously worked out, sometimes they spring naturally from the story, on occasion the title comes first and I think of a story to fit it - and sometimes they come in dreams...
A couple of weeks ago, for example, I dreamt I was looking for a vaguely-remembered story of barrethunter's entitled either 'The Tale of a Bent Copper' or 'The Tail of a Bent Copper', but couldn't find it anywhere. On waking up, I checked the Library, only to find no such story existed - most disappointing...! |
