The Art of Choosing a Title

(post title totally swiped from the MeFi thread)

Because I've had recent interesting discussions on the matter, here's an article about how to choose a title for your story/novel/series. Even if you don't agree with the rules, it makes for good fodder for the brain. I tend to go for the opaque, myself...maybe that's another one of my problems, LOL.

Titling is a bitch. Seriously.

Best title, as far as I'm concerned, is Gone With the Wind. It just is.

I think I'm partial to "A Long Day's Journey Into Night," but I'm not exactly sure if that's my true favorite.

I like A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, myself, but then I am rather fond of pretentious, oxymoronic titles on the whole :P
