I'm no good with titles

Els títols mai han estat fàcils per mi. Sóc terrible resumint. Sempre penso que no tenen força, que no són prou adequats. 
I always struggled with titles. I was told puns were a good way to start, but I was never good with puns either. Prompts make for good titles. They make for good opening lines. Prompts are often a start. And they can be the best endings. 
L’Elisabeth sempre el·logiava les meves redaccions, els meus exàmens. Pensava que eren meravellosos, fins i tot quan no ho eren. But she got me here. She got me where I am today; she kept me writing and praised my insights. She is the reason I felt worth taking a chance on myself. She was what motivated me to pursue my own interests. 
L’Oliver va ser el primer en reconèixer les meves històries. Ell i el Pep em van introduir al món dels concursos de literatura. But I was never the winner. Titles are important, and mine were never particularly strong. El Pep perseguia els escriptors. He valued us as if we were golden children. He nurtured our creativity as much as he could. Però tant l’Oliver com el Pep només em van tenir durant dos cursos. Hi ha mals que no es poden desfer en tan sols dos anys. 
I was never good with titles. And I have not yet learnt to make them work. Però tot I així, encara sóc escriptora.
