Titles and me

So I'm really bad at coming up with titles for my work. I never have been very good at it but lately I have been so irritated with them. It has gotten to the point of I'm just titled my works after the main characters like the file will be called - Mike, Jane, and the Robot. I love good titles. My favorite mystery author Rex Stout has wonderful titles. My favorite is The Doorbell Rang. It is so simple, it fits the story, it is easy to remember. Agatha Christie has a similar thing with her titles. Maybe it is a mystery thing. I am progressing nicely on my current work. After I finish it I'm debating on what to work on during the editing process. My wonderful spouse has agreed to do first round of edits for me. He has known me for over 13 years now and gets the way I think, so it will be a good advantage in reading anything I write. What I'm thinking about writing is really get going on what I was writing before NaNo or the story that I have had floating around in my head for a few weeks. But until I get my current project done, nothing else will be worked on. I have to do one thing at a time. And 1,000 words at a time.
