i had no chance at all
Following up on my post from last night, Party and Bullshit by the Notorious B.I.G.
Speaking of, here's an excerpt from Newsweek's Oscar roundtable (thanks to hradzka for the link):
DOWNEY: I got a story for you. I go to Japan. "Iron Man" is opening there. I'm like, dude, this is my walk of fame. I go there and they go [he mimics a Japanese accent], " ( Read more... )

You ever have a title that is AWESOME and you are just dying to use it, but it doesn't fit anything you're actually writing, and you're tempted to use it ANYWAY because of the AWESOME? But you know you have to hold it back for a story that would really fit? I am having that right now. It would help, maybe, if I could actually write the story I'm working on, instead of just thinking about it and hoping the words will magically appear on the screen. I found an alternate title that I like, but I have the sad feeling that I will always look at this story and think it could have had the world's most AWESOME title, even if it didn't really fit. Sigh.
Dude, I feel you hardcore. I just had this happen, oh, like today. Sometimes as I'm writing the story, a more appropriate title will make itself know and I'll save awesome title for another time, but if nothing better makes itself know I go with the awesome title. I hate Title Remorse. Nothing worse than looking at a story and thinking oh Story X that is not called X even though it should be.

I did find a title I like that suits this story, so I will save the awesome title for something else - I think I have the seeds of an idea that will do it justice. I hope.
