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

Swings And Roundabouts

Whether I have the title of a piece before I write it depends entirely on the spark of inspiration that hits me, but it doesn't often happen that way.

Most times I'm just sitting writing aimlessly when a flow begins, and it can come from out of nowhere. Once I have the bit between my teeth I'm away and it's not until I finish that the title slips into place.

Occasionally I'll come up with a great title, but no content.

It's a sort of swings and roundabouts thing, if you'll pardon the expression.

Swings and roundabouts - wow that sounds like it could be a great title for.......something.
