Re:Article for critique (edit # ?) - 07/02/2007

That's okay.
But are you okay with "okay"?
Let me see some more titles that invoke curiosity. Something like:
Free Write: Pottery Clay to The Mind's Eye
Lame, I know. Just trying to get the idea across. When we get down to titling, the author is really the true authority. Titles are the author's opportunity to entice, enrage, enamor as well as outright teach a prospective reader.
A "Place to Start" certainly identifies the thrust. It's an essay. In advance, readers know that they are going to be learning something--not enjoying a story. See if you can invoke curiosity, is my two cents.
My Best,
