Does The Title Reflect The Story?

Written by Nick Vernon


Continued from page 1

If your story is an uplifting tale about two characters finding love, then your title isn’t going to mention death, unless of course one ofrepparttar characters’ die.

At first your title may not give awayrepparttar 128857 nature of your story. But once having readrepparttar 128858 story,repparttar 128859 reader will understandrepparttar 128860 connection. Let me give you a few examples…

‘The Fire In The Sky’

This can berepparttar 128861 title of a story in which an airplane explodes in midair or a story about a meteorite on its way to earth, etc.

‘An Angel Amongst Us’

Can berepparttar 128862 title of a story about a person with extraordinary kindness or about an angel that leavesrepparttar 128863 heavenly realm to reside on earth, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~

You can be ambiguous in your title if you wish. Your title doesn’t always have to reflect your story. Having more than one possible meaning intriguesrepparttar 128864 reader but remember…

There has to be a connection between your title and your story.
