This has to be one of my least favorite parts of writing. Hell, I find making titles more aggravating than writers block.

For example, I finally got my future spy story all nice and done, except I don't have a frickin' title for it. I've been working on this story for several months now, and I still don't have a title for it.

Do you agree/disagree? Help?!? *lets head fall onto desk in exhaustion and frustration*

Whenever I need to figure out what to call something, I usually go to www.seventhsanctum.com and use their random generators. Theres usually something abstract enough it'll fit what Im doing.

I HATE making titles. I mean I can come up with some (usually for my more suckier stories. but my really good stories I can never think of titles) I mean it's so annoying to think up titles. but writers block is annoying to.

Depends, usually I hate making titles, but many times I write the title first lol.

Yeah..It's sort of weird that it's hard to make up a title for anything.. Mine usually are generic but honestly it's not my forte.

I usually do my titles last because I fuss over it too much. Especially on essays.

When I write I usually am writing a song. I don't really mind thinking up a title. When I'm really stuck it's actually kind of fun making a title for it, because then my band and I can come up with something I wouldn't have thought up before.

In the case of book titles I don't think my advice is going to be very helpful sweatdrop The chapters of the book I'm writing are all titles of songs from one album of my favorite band and I plan to name the book after the CD

I've been going through song lyrics to try to find the right title for my spy novel, but so far no luck. (could be because I'm mainly looking through Nirvana & Beatles songs)

I dislike making titles, too. Urgh so I just end up making it up at the very end or when I finally do come up with one...

I hate coming up with titles which is probably why I have yet to finish one of my story's, that and I get bored easily.
I come up with something simple first and just leave it until something better comes to mind... though half my story's are still blank....

ARRRGH!!!*dies from frustration*
I HATE TITLES!!! I am so tempted just to call my book "untitled" because everything I come up with sounds somewhat cheesy. I finally decided "Forever" wasnt too bad but most people are going to confuse it with a series I hate(to remain unnamed...0.o).
