Writing Without the Me #10

Exercise #28 A List of Titles

Well, the first fifth of this year-long project to get better at writing is behind me. I’m not going to let the fact that we’re already a quarter through the year ruin this small accomplishment for me.

This week’s exercise is as simple as its name suggests: Create a bunch of titles for potential works (essays, short stories, poems, etc) for future use. Joselow says it’s like “storing nuts for the winter.” This prompt didn’t feel too demanding, as it reminded me of a Twitter game, but it was fun for the same reason.

I tried to not make them too silly but obviously, some words played their way in there. And believe it or not, I deleted the really bad ones:

1. The Seven Deadly Needs

2. The Wrestle of Leaves

3. Scripting the Flip

4. Even Mountains Plateau 

5. Deathslide

6. A Confederacy of Dunks

7. Welcome to Upton Sinclair

8. Canon Fodder

9. In Europe, They Don’t Tip Cows

10. Don’t Get it Twisted: Tornado Safety Tips

11. Nightime on the Sun

12. Green Drips Grass the Garden Does Grow

13. I Am No Man

14. You Won’t Be This Young Again for a While

15. Jenny Got Her Ringlight
