Questions to ponder part 12
RokofAges75:
I name a lot of my stories after BSB songs too. I like using a line from the song instead of the actual title to make it more subtle, but if the title fits, I'm not above stealing titles. I've kind of always known I would write a story called Sick as My Secrets someday because that title is too awesome not to use. I think it was a contender for Curtain Call at some point, but I'm glad I saved it for my current story because it fits even better.

I didn't even know that was a title of a BSB song. Is that one of the unreleased tracks or is my memory failing me once again? #badfan lol
I hardly ever use song titles or lyrics in my stories. I'm not sure why. I generally have a hard time coming up with a story title. It's a very rare thing for me to have a title in mind when I'm writing a story. It's usually not until a few chapters in that something will come to me.
RokofAges75:
Yeah, it's an unreleased track from Unbreakable. It's awesome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNd2y-O0L74 If you like it, I can send you the mp3.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that so you'd go on thinking I came up with that title myself LOL.
I have a hard time coming up with titles, too, which is partly why I tend to use song lyrics. I also do it as a nod to BSB, but it's also a cop-out that saves me from having to come up with something original LOL. When I actually do use an original title, it's usually because it popped into my head early in the planning of the story and stuck.
I'm the opposite of you, though; I can't actually start writing a story until I have a title. I'm way too OCD. "Untitled" is not an acceptable file name for me LOL.

that is totally me too! I will NOT write a story until I have a title for it. I cannot stand a story being called "untitled". That is probably why i use song titles lol.

I go with "The new one" lol
