    Before actually writing, I have the plot set-up and take notes here and there about my story. Sometimes the title comes to mind before I officially write, while other times it comes somewhere in the middle and even towards the end of the story. Although I must add that I've changed titles many times throughout my writings, and you could change your title as many times as you like also. Just don't come up with a title that has absolutely no meaning to your novel, and I recommend creating a title that is appealing in a non-cliche way. Hope I helped. (:

    It's hard to come up with a good title before writing. I came with my title while writing the novel.

    Please help me?

    I usually never worry about the title and then sometime while writing it will just come to me.

    flip through your novel and find a saying or phrase that is significant to the story. but one other way is to just let it come to you.
