30 Days of Actually Posting

In my defense, I had the flu.

9. What's the hardest thing about writing, and why are titles the Worst™?
The hardest thing about actually writing is the actually writing bit? Like, when I have the outline and some idea wtf is going to happen, but I have to translate from images and concepts in my head to words in a file. Sometimes it goes, sometimes it ... doesn't. *stares sadly at Fic in a Box assignment*

Titles are the Worst because they need to accurately describe the entire contents of the fic, including thematically! Or have a nice contrast at the very least! I looked at the most recent 20 works of mine and only one (Sing Dead the Dark) has a title I would consider good. I did learn to stop worrying and love the bomb some time ago, though, so, hey. As long as it's something people can click on.

Haha, I'm really loving how many of us are answering this question that way. *g*

Ha, yes. I also follow the "it's great if it happens but you know it wont, 90% of the time" approach.
