eighthphase: (house quote//essay writing in a nutshell)
The hardest part of writing anything is coming up with a title. I say this now because I can't come up with a title for my English essay; but thinking about it, it really holds true for most things.

Usually I name things after song lyrics ("chasing a starlight", "but only for you", "where is your boy"), or after random phrases that I've found particularly poignant and that have stuck with me for one reason or another (which are apparently mostly from song lyrics, because the only one I can find right now is "bring down the sky"). This works for fiction, because I tend to write about similar themes to the music I listen to (I wonder why).

It doesn't really work for formal writing, though. I have an article critique and no idea what to call it. Right now it's "Oversimplification And Fashion" and that has got to be the dumbest title I've ever written (this is where there was a tangent where I was thinking about the various essay titles I've used). But I can't think of a good title! So I'm pretty stumped.

...I guess I can always practice my speech and come back to the essay later. Surely that can't come back to bite me in the ass.
