As a writer, titles are incredibly important to me. I don’t know if other writers have this issue (I know some don’t), but the title is my backbone for a book. I think really hard about patterns, about what the title conveys, about a lot of things that I get way hung up on. (This is dangerous, because publishers are wont to change titles left and right.
