Most mornings I find myself with one of those "Arg" moments. You know how it is when whatever you are doing is taking five times longer than it needs to or simple tasks require you to backtrack and start over at least three times
Come to think of it, I have those pretty often throughout the rest of the day too.
When I was setting up this blog I came up with a couple of titles that I liked, only to discover they were already in use. (I choose to believe that means they were decent ideas.) All I wanted to do was start writing my blog, but I couldn't because I needed a title first. Since all my ideas were taken I started to feel like I was the last person to start a blog. This is where I got the idea for "Last American Blogger." I seriously doubt I am, but whatever... I just want to get started.
Personally I prefer to write my titles after the text is complete. When I write, sometimes the words take me on a unexpected journey and I end up somewhere I didn't even know existed when I started. So, sure, I may fully intend to outline my proposal for the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution, but with any luck we will end up discovering something much more important along the way.
