Mine too.

I am a Writing Coach and editor-for-hire and I always tell my writing clients to just use a placeholder title until after they've actually finished writing.

There's no point in writing the title upfront because by the time you're done redrafting the piece several times it may well have strayed from your original intent.

The only exception to this rule is when you dream up an amazing title out of the blue-- and then write a story to suit it.
