Typically I don't title things until after I've finished it but I do have a couple floating around that I'm trying to connect to the right piece. So far there are only two of them. They are "The Whisper Kids" and "Featherweight".

I have none saved. I usually make my title after I finish writing the piece. It sometimes takes awhile but I feel like I make a better title this way.

My titles often come to me prior to pen hitting paper. Although I do often change it depending on the how the paper evolves as I move forward with drafting the piece, the title is my favorite part of the writing process.

I don't have any titles saved for future projects, but there's one story that I've written three or four different ways and have kept the title the same. It's called "The Collapse" and I'm finally figuring out just the way I want to structure it, so maybe this will be my summer project after graduation.

I do not have any titles that I have made up at the moment. Like Matt, I tend to wait until after I have completed a poem or story to title it, as I feel like the title will symbolize and represent the writing piece better that way. I find that I am also more creative if I make the title after I have finished writing whatever I am writing because I am proud of the work I created and am motivated to create a title that captures the essence of what I tried to get across to the reader and write about.
