You had me at Hi, that is, A Troll Walks Into a Bar. Titles are very important, especially in this world of ebooks. Scrolling titles is so much quicker than browsing book stores, taking out a book, looking at the cover, reading the blurb.
Books need to be eye catching. I learned to disregard the cover art 60 years ago, and nowadays some authors seem to all use the same artists. All wizards seem to have dark hair and short beards, even if they are blond and clean shaven inside...
This title seemed like a no-brainer to me, since the story literally begins with a troll walking into a bar. It was inspired by a costume I made for a Halloween party. I wrapped some aluminum foil around the cardboard tube from the inside of a roll of paper towels. Then I bent it a little in the center and taped it to the front of my cap. I told everyone who asked that I was "The man who walked into a bar."
Some of our methods are similar. I also read what I wrote the day before to gather momentum for what comes next, and yes, I lose a little time tinkering with what's already there - editing as you go basically. I only read out loud in final draft though.

I can’t overstate how much it helps me to have my work read aloud to me.
It's very cool. Slightly intimidating... I think I'd want to melt in the wallpaper....
Not me—my ego is BOUNDLESS🤣
