    Dear Joey, I’m a 40-year-old writer who’s been at it for at least 30 of those years. I’ve kept a journal for most of my life; penned everything from poetry to obituary, essays, memoir, reviews, marketing copy, and more, but there is one thing that has just never gotten easier for me: Titles.

    In my understanding, a "good" title should add value to the piece, some detail, or focus toward a greater meaning in the work. AND it has to catch the reader’s attention enough to lure them in and keep them reading. So no pressure, right? 

    How do you compose or discover your titles?
