It's not often that I find myself writing a book without the title having been one of the very first things that occurred to me. But in the case of YW #10, this hasn't been the way things worked out.
I know how that goes. With the exception of flash fiction, usually I can't get more than a few pages without a title on a story. Can't usually write a poem without a title. This is partially a habit from needing a title for things when saving the files.
One major exception, though. I'm writing a novel with a dark sorceress (really more like true neutral) character named Lyria, who is the protagonist. The short stories of mine that I pieced together to start the novel all have titles, but so far I haven't been able to think of a title for the novel. The story is a redo of an old idea I had, and back then it was called "Playground of the Gods." Both the original idea and the redo are mostly-serious fantasy that basically turns every fantasy trope on its head.
