EXERCISE

1. Start collecting a list of possible titles for stories. Do any of these spark new story ideas?

2. Come up with three alternative titles for a current project. Include a short one and a long one. Which best suits the heart and soul of your story—hinting at theme without giving anything away, catchy without being too clever?

Ask five or six people to be honest about which of the three titles they find the most intriguing. Include at least two who have read your story, and a few who haven’t.
