Ok boys and girls, I need a little help
I was finally convinced to write my memoirs. But what title? I'm thinking "The Easy Tears Of The Veteran Drunk" or "Children Learn What They Live And Live What They Learn" but I figure either one will give the wrong impression. So... HELP! Any ideas will be appreciated.

Absolutely. Choose a title now and you may find yourself "bending" the writing to fit. You're trying to title something that doesn't exist yet.

Just tell the story. The title will show up when it's ready.

6. Just worry about getting the story written first.
Everything else will fall in place as time goes on.

9. It will come to you. I give my books "working" titles...
Just something to call them while I'm working on them.

11. I would guess that the title should follow the actual book
So write the memoirs, then read them several times, getting a feeling for the message which they're sending before thinking about the title.

Plus, I want a signed copy, so you better keep one for me - or I might not let you ravish me.
