Leaving a piece of writing untitled is like not naming your baby.

I happen to enjoy titling things... it's my only skill, and it's fun to play around with. I often have the title before I have the story, which I gather is not the usual way of doing things. Then again, I come from the college of non-sequitur titles and summaries, which certainly isn't popular with a huge number of people. If I'm looking for a title, I generally turn to free-association. I've pilfered from songs, books, mythology, the Bible, classic literature, poetry, magazines, and Stephen King.

Seriously, people. The title's the fun part. I don't see why everyone gets so bent out of shape about it.
