is it presumptious to be considering titles without a complete first draft lol??

im considering -'NEUTRAL'
-'ROAD/RAGE
-'ROADWORKS'

or something along those lines lol

wat is everyone else considering??

im not even really near there yet!!!

holden4ever89 · 21 Mar 2007, 7:49 PM

i'm not going WELL at all - i have lots of stuff, yet the quality is definately lacking. but i have a habit of that - ohh i like this title! without any poem to go with it lol.

but i changed my overall title today anyway

how is everyone else going!???

I thought of my title before I'd actually started writing. But I had my concept and everything, so the title hasn't changed!

Don't worry, my poetry is really crap at the moment, but I just write as much as I can so I have stuff to work with. Don't get too self-critical! Just keep going. You'll have time to refine your poetry if you're organised.

I'm not going anywhere near a title until I'm finished writing, I'm making a list of potential ones as I go but I don't want to think of it as one name and then have to change it. The title's going to influence how you and other people perceive it, so I want to wait until I have a perfect title, then I'll name it.

shimmy&shine · 31 Mar 2007, 11:02 PM

my title was just a line out of Plath's poetry. I thought it was the 'prettiest', lol. nah, it embodied all my concepts, so that's why i chose it. but when i didn't have a title, i was stressed about not having one.

I wonder if you could get away with not having a title provided you come up with an explanation for it. It'd make for an interesting paragraph or two in the reflection statement.

holden4ever89 · 1 Apr 2007, 8:21 PM

hmm...no title...then you get into showcase, that would screw them up baha

my title changed today by the way

i wish i could have two titles! then it would be so much easier,

perhaps i should just do two bodies of work!

tillytilly · 2 Apr 2007, 7:44 PM

Haha, that would be so cool, in Showcase, by *insert name here*.

tillytilly · 2 Apr 2007, 7:45 PM

Dammit, there was meant to be a big blank space there. Like __________ by *insert name here*. Pssh.

shimmy&shine · 3 Apr 2007, 10:08 PM

haha, how ironic, very creative, yet very not.. lol.

tillytilly · 4 Apr 2007, 3:58 PM

Haha yeah, just say it's "postmodern", you're "removing the limitations the title places upon the work" *tips beret* ... that'll work. I love being pretentious lol.

666_blessings · 4 Apr 2007, 8:34 PM

That's just the kind of post-modern explanation I was talking about. You could easily draw that on indefinitely by discussing titles you considered and the limitations they placed upon the work. Pretentiousness to the nth degree.

jimmayyy · 16 Apr 2007, 8:40 PM

postmodernism hates itself for having such a horrible label.

holden4ever89 · 24 Apr 2007, 7:35 PM

'which way is home?'

that sounds cool, intriguing

i can't wait to read other peoples completed works

mine is now entitled 'Hit and Run'

but you will see that anyway in the 2007 showcase

haha dream big, fall far...thats what i say
