Creative Story Titles
There’s an old saying about not judging a book by its cover. However, most stories get judged based on their titles. A story’s title is the initial hook that brings a reader into a virtual world. The same holds true when writing non-fiction. An article’s title is it’s key to success.
I’m always looking for ideas to write about, and sometimes all I need is a little spark to get my creative juices flowing. So, what I do is sit down and just write out different titles. After a while, I hit on something that sounds like a great idea for a story and run with it. However, I have several would-be titles left behind.
Instead of just letting some of these homeless little things sit around with nothing to do, I’ve decided to pass them along to anyone else who might want to use them. No charge. Why? Because it’s what I do. I have another blog called The Prompt Writer that offers writing prompts (ideas) to my fellow writers to do with as they like. I invite you to stop by and check it out. In the mean time, I offer you a few titles of inspiration. (Warning: not all of these titles are great, some aren’t even very good, and a couple might down right suck. But hey, they’re free).
1.) Nothing But The Moonlight
2.) The Daze of Knight
3.) Blue Rose of Tomorrow
4.) Making the Most of Mondays
5.) Wealth of the Poor
6.) The Temple Tablets
7.) Grandeur in a Tiny Room
8.) Beyond the Sailor’s Dream
9.) An Unchained Beacon
10.) Rowing to Rainbow’s End
As I said before, they might not be Pulitzer Prize winning titles, but they might help to get some of your own creative juices flowing. Sometimes, it’s nice to just get a nudge in the “write” direction.
