Coming Up With A Title Post!

Possible names:

Followed Her Home

Girl That You Love

Hit Me Where It Hurts

Where It Hurts

Denomination 

Bullseye, Dead End

Indignation

Provoked Indignation

Crimson Indignation

Faulty Indignation

False Indignation

This was an extremely long process that my best friend and I talked about for like thirty minutes, because we kept coming up with ridiculous names and laughing about it.

Basically, to explain the thought process, the first title we conjured up (Followed Her Home) was just a funny joke referencing the lyrics to one of the songs on my character playlist. Girl That You Love was also inspired by the same song (and is actually the title), but we figured it didn't really align with the plot, as Celia is not supposed to be a lovable character. Hit Me Where It Hurts is another song title, one that I really liked, but I thought it was too lengthy, so I tried to shorten it to Where It Hurts, but honestly that did not make any sense. 

Denomination was another kind of joke option that we came up with, because it's included in a song lyric and we both were unsure of the meaning. Bullseye, Dead End was a cool option (another song lyric) but we both felt like it had absolutely nothing to do with the opening. 

Next was Indignation. As you can see this led us down the track to our final decision (which still could change as well. Indignation was a lyric in another song, and we had no idea what it meant, so we Googled it, and it actually fit pretty well!

Even the example references a letter in it!

We both loved this title, but felt that it sounded too much like a blockbuster action movie title. So we spent the next five minutes sticking random words on the beginning and hoping they fit. I really liked Crimson Indignation, but it sounded like the name of a random horror film. False Indignation was the best option, as it could relate to how Celia felt about finding Ethan's letter.

Ta-da! False Indignation. I quite like it. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
