How do you come up with titles for your writings? That's sometimes one of the hardest things! You're welcome to come here for suggestions, too. Tell us a little about your story, poem, script, &c., and we'll see what we can come up with.

Okay, usually finding titles is really easy for me, but I'm stuck.
It's about an guy (about 17 or 18) and his 12 year old sister. They're in a car accident with their parents, and both parents die. The sister is in shock, and she stops talking, and showing any emotions. Doctors, and teachers, and priests try to get her to start talking again, but her brother doesn't bug her because he says she'll start when she's ready. Everyone says he's wrong, but he realizes what she needs is love, not nagging, and so love is all he gives her.

I just lost the word document for the story I had been working on and I am going to start writing it over and now that I thought about it I didn't like the title I had for the lost draft and I am looking for a new name. If you want me to do a summary let me know I like the name ideas for your story Sallie

Sallie, your story sounds really good! I love Silent Love for a title... the rest of the suggestions are great too. Meggy--definitely give us a summary!

ok here is a summary of sorts.
The story takes place in three different years, 1852, 1870 and 1939. And the first year is written as diary entries from the mother of the main girl in year two and the girl (and several other characters) in year three is the granddaughter of the girl in year two and all of the events that happen in all thee years are connected (I haven't exactically decided how yet) and the girls in two and three have to figure the events out in their time period and so on

Ooh... it sounds complex and interesting! Love the idea.
Hmm....it's hard to know what to call it without specifics of what happens in each story and what ties them together, and such...but I'm thinking something with Generations in it would be fitting...

I was thinking of there either being some strange feud with a different family like in "Romeo and Juliet" or some sort of curse type thing, then at the end you find out how everything was connected.

Ahh.. so you wouldn't really want the connection in the title, or it would give away the ending. Hmmmm... I really am the worst at thinking up titles! But I shall be thinking and I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a title for my new book. Here is a little bit about it:
The main characters are twin girls of 15 years of age. It is based in renaissance time and when the girls were only 10 their father was accused of treason and they had to flee the country. He of course was framed. The girls and their father (their mother died at childbirth) have been hiding in the woods outside of the country's capital. The girls have decided it's time to restore their father's name and prove his innocence. But just when things seem to be going well, they are thrown into chaos as they now have to protect their forest hiding place.
