I've done that alot. It is more difficult, but sometimes ya just come up with the hook first and it happens to be the title!

I know it is foolish but I can't help it... Many words fit so the results are often surprising!!! I will stick around so I can learn more things...
Oh, I know the feeling! I get stuck on the word or words that I really want to use and I hammer them into my brain so I can try and make them stick. lol. I'm alot better off when I put them on a shelf and start thinking about the lines differently.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
