Before I start writing a story, I (almost) always have a title in mind. The title acts as a rudder. It guides the story, taking it where it needs to go. It's not that I think about the title while I write, but rather that the title inspires or permeates the writing without my having to keep it in mind all the time. I guess my unconscious mind must take care of that. The piece I am working on now doesn't have a title. Ugh.
