I also have trouble coming up with titles. The worst part of writing next to query letters and synopses. :) As far as titles that stay with me, hmm. It has more to do with the book (as in how well I liked it) more so than the title.

Cool! Learning to type so you could write fiction was also a surprise. I'd been typing long, long, long before I thought to try my hand at a book.
