For me, summaries are always the hardest. I put it down to "summary" being taught as the first part of the essays we had to write as tests in German class, so whatever I write ends up sounding like that - an incredibly boring and factual summary of what any given text is about. "The Old Man and the Sea is a story about an older fisherman down on his luck who catches a fish that is too big for him to haul home." (I mean, it took me four tries to get through the story, but it's not quite as boring as I manage to make it sound here.)

But titles are absolutely a close second. Sometimes, I have the perfect title before I start writing. But if I don't, well. I wish I could use the working titles I use in my folders and wiki to organise things. But "Absalom Lives AU" is somehow even more boring than "Web of Fate", and also not very descriptive because Absalom is a secondary character at best.
