Short Story Writing Tips -

We�ve established what a title should be and we�ve also established your title is your selling tool. So if it can make or break the sale of your story, then we�ll have to agree that it is extremely important. How much emphasis have you placed when selecting a title?

1. You can�t write a story before titling it, so you jotted down the first thing that came to mind.
2. You added it as an afterthought when you completed the story.
3. You put a lot of thought into it and selected the best one.

I hope it was the latter � and I hope you did this�

1. You noted down as many titles as you could think of
2. Then crossed out the titles you thought were �so-so�
3. And kept the most grabbing title of them all?

You did do this, didn�t you?
