Titles

The paper is basically written, it just needs a few revisions. I could turn it in soon, but there's a slight problem. I have no title! I hate coming up with titles. No matter if I'm writing fiction or academic papers, titles (along with intros and conclusions) are my nemesis. I need something catchy, but not too over the top. It has to get the point of the paper across without being too long. I want it to stand out. So, my day today will be thinking about this title while I'm getting more work done on that book chapter I'm beginning to loathe.

as long as you use a colon, you're set :)

i.e.
"catching, annoying hook: the effect of x on y"

That's so funny you say that because the working title I finally came up with is pretty much in that formula!
