Check-in post, day 14

[lola_mento]

We're almost halfway through this month now. How are things going so far? Making any significant progress? Any significant panicking? Any deadlines suddenly creeping in on you, not that it happened to me or anything?

Today's discussion theme is Titles Hard part or hardest part of the story? Where do you get them? And does anyone else ever start with the title, or is it just me?

Haven't written anything today, on account of being ill and generally feeling blah.

Titles are evil. I have learned to be very careful about calling a fic anything before it is finished, becaue once I call it something, I have a lot of trouble coming up with something else. My wip folder includes all sorts of weird abbreviations relating to pairings, themes and kinks, and only uses actual words if there is no chance it can pass as a title.

Oh, I hope you're feeling better. *sends you a cup of tea*

Ah, my friend! ^^ I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only one having this problem. It' took me several fics before realizing that I shouldn't set myself a title (and incidentally, a plot) before writing the text, because either I don't finish the fic afterward or it's like pulling teeth >.>

(I try to limit myself a two/three plots at a time too, or I get in over my head xD)

Hope you'll get better soon (try some vitamins, it works wonders for me ^^). glitteryv provided the tea, so I'll go with the cookies ;p
