Quote by Sloane Crosley
For me, titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try, they can be really hard to repair. Or, worse, if the author thinks they pop out perfect, but the publishing house does not agree, it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.
Summary
This quote highlights the challenge of coming up with titles for written works. The author suggests that titles either come naturally and effortlessly or can be incredibly stressful to create. If a title isn't immediately perfect, it becomes difficult to fix or change, which can add to the anxiety. Additionally, disagreements between authors and publishing houses on the perceived perfection of a title can lead to a frustrating and maddening experience. The quote captures the emotional rollercoaster of the title creation process in the written work industry.
