Yeah, this is exactly my point. It's better to be flexible with our titles since we are not certain if we are going to stick with our story or writing plan.aruntr2001 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2020, 07:50 I would say both needs to be thought first before you pen down. But the story takes the precedence as the title should be kept flexible and the writer should be able to alter it as the story progress further.

Haha, LOL! I suggest you have a working title that best suits the story you are writing based on what you have actually written.

I do! S is short for "Sequel to Homecoming" I also never know how the story is going to pan out or what's going to happen, so I'd only end up having to change it over and over again. My beta reader and I work on a chapter-by-chapter basis. I get files from her called, "Combe Hide: Chapter 1" and all her files from me are called, "s1, s2, s3"

I guess each writer is different though. Some use a title as an idea for a story.
