a rose by any other name
I spend a good deal of my time lately —
Staring at lists of script titles in my immediate future with a sense of impending loathing and horror.
This is based entirely on the titles.
I have no idea what’s inside there. But the titles? Ahhh!
When this happens, I sort scripts not based on which script I want to read first — but on which script I want to read last.
This is not a good scenario for a script.
Writing is a seduction.
That seduction starts with the title.

So true. I want a title to convey the essence of the story, to lure me into the story… not act like a blunt weapon or be so generic, it could be anything.
Exactly.
