18, (for the ask meme) and any tips for making them?

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

Ooh this is a good question. For me, some fics were easier to title than others. When I title, it's usually when I am writing. I will either base the title off of a line from the fic (something significant that's what I did for Till Stars Break) or I will base it off the premise (A Broken Mind Can Heal).

With naming it after the premise, I do try to put the title in the fic at some point ( I did that with Wild in the Soul and it made me very happy). When it comes to naming a fic I try to make it sound nice or aesthetic but other times it's just a literal description of the fic (The Key to Sleeping Better) and there isn't anything wrong with that!

I know some writers use song titles or lyrics for titles (especially if the fic is inspired by that song) but I have not done that yet. Honestly my advice it to try out multiple titles (either before or after posting, I have changed some of my titles after posting the fic) and choose which ever resonates best with you!

I hope this helps <3
