I have a tendency to collect titles.
When a good title pops into my head, I add it to my very long list of titles that I almost never use. Clearly, I have told people about this, because it actually came up in an interview with Radon recently.
I got to thinking, sharing is caring. Those titles are probably kind of lonely, just all in a list. Unused, unloved. I probably won’t get around to them. That gives me the sads.
So here they are, free to pick from, free to use.
Take one as a prompt. Take one as a vibe. Take one and use it and put it to work. Make it feel loved.
Do let me know (here or here) if you choose one to use. That way I can cross it off the list, read the story when you publish it, and also then no one else uses the title and causes havoc.
