You could start by thinking about the main theme or message of your story. Maybe a title that hints at that would work well.
The ways to name your story are diverse. You can consider the mood of the story. For a very mysterious story, a name like 'The Enigma' would fit. Naming it after an object that has great significance in the story is also an option. If there's a magical amulet that drives the plot, 'The Amulet's Tale' could be the name. Additionally, you can combine elements. For instance, if your story is about a boy's journey in a forest and he discovers a new friendship, 'The Boy's Forest Journey and Newfound Friendship' could be a possible name.
Surprise her with little gestures. It could be a simple note left on the fridge saying you love her or bringing home her favorite flowers. Also, plan regular date nights. It doesn't have to be something elaborate, just a time for the two of you to be together without distractions.
You can cook together. It's a great activity to do side by side, sharing stories and laughter while preparing a delicious meal.
Plan a weekend getaway without her knowing. Book a nice hotel in a place she loves or has always wanted to visit. Pack her bags secretly and on the day of departure, tell her to get ready for a surprise trip.
One way is to end with a resolution. For example, if it's a mystery story, the detective finally solves the case and all the loose ends are tied up. This gives the reader a sense of closure.
Another way is to take key words from the plot. Suppose the story is about a journey to find a hidden treasure. You might come up with 'JTFT' for 'Journey To Find Treasure' as the abbreveation, and then a name for it could be 'The Treasure Quest Abbreveation' which gives a sense of what the abbreveation represents in the context of the story.
One way could be improving yourself. Like if your ex said you were lazy, start working out and getting in shape. Show them you're not who they thought you were.
A great way to end on a positive note is to show a character achieving their goal. If your story is about a student studying hard for an exam, you can end it with 'She got the highest score in the class, and her hard work paid off. She was over the moon with joy.'
You could simply say, 'Honey, I have a story I really want to share with you.' Then gradually lead into the main part of the story.
Think about the overall tone of your novel. If it's humorous, you can come up with a funny title like 'The Hilarious Hijinks'. You can also combine two opposing concepts to create an interesting title. For example, if your story is about a world that is both beautiful and dangerous, 'The Beautiful Danger' could be a great choice. And don't forget to ask for feedback from friends or writing groups. They might come up with some great ideas.
