titles

I have come to realize that titles are much more important than I had thought.

I just come up with something appropriate in a hurry when I finish a story. What I have noticed is that the weakest story I have here (readers agree with me. It has only half as many kudos per hit as my other stories) has drawn the most readers. I try to have a strong first sentence to catch a reader's attention but I think the title carried the load here. Looking at other titles at random on the site I can see that some work better than others as attention grabbers. Since most of us can't read everything a good title is important to getting readers.
