Do you create the title of a piece before or after you write the content?

What’s In a Word

I don't have a specific process, to be quite honest. Some of my pieces have titles long before I finish and some are left unnamed still today. I can tell you I have named many works of literature after its conception and personality form on the paper. It's almost like when you carry a child in your womb opposed to when you see her and hold her in your arms. I have two girls and both of them were named after their birth, the following day to be exact.

I think it's really just like that...

The meaningful ones I name later bc once I can appreciate their full beauty and existence, their purpose in my life, then it happens. The magical moment that I assign the aesthetic epithet that will accurately reflect that which lies before the readers eyes.
