What's in a name?

Good Afternoon fellow bloggers! I hope you are all doing well. :) Things have been going good for me, especially in the writing portion of my life. Today I hit 54,000 words. My goal is 90,000. I can't wait to make it there. I've just got to stay motivated. Which occasionally becomes difficult. I'm sure those of you who are writers completely understand. Something else wonderful has also happened. I have finally chosen a title for my manuscript. I have felt endlessly frustrated not being able to find something I like. I have come up with numerous titles that I felt were either boring, or just not write for my story. Thankfully all of that changed last night. I was sitting at my computer after doing some writing and decided that I wasn't going to bed until I came up with a good title and luckily it only took me ten minutes. It's kind of funny when I think about because it has taken me months to become fed up enough to just sit down and decide. And once I did it took me no time at all.

I'm sure your thinking... 'Just tell me already!' lol, so I will end the suspense... The official title of my manuscript is Lost in Moonlight. It's simple, fun and I feel that it really fits my manuscript well.

I'm curious how all of you come up with the titles to your manuscripts? I know that some of you are far more experienced at this then I am, so I would love to hear tips or ideas about how you name the precious words you put so much thought into.

That's all I've got for today. :) See ya.
