(insert title here)

There's something so tantalizing about a good title. It's the first thing that grabs your attention to pick up that book on the shelf and flip through some pages. Whenever I was done writing an essay for school or something, I would get heavily excited about adding the final touch that included the perfect title. It can never be too long and wearisome; the better it is when succinct but nonetheless powerful. I don't find that the weight of a great title is in its length or complicated vocabulary. Sometimes it's those one word titles that pique our interest immediately. I personally prefer titles with more than a single word, unless that word alone is enough to carry the voice of the literature in its entirety. I like titles that are mystifying but not so foreign sounding at the same time.
I don't think I'm any good as a writer but I love writing anyway. When I was a little girl, I thought I could write a novel in a few short days. Of course I never got more than a few amateur pages accomplished. And my only motivation to even get that far was the brilliant title I had prepared for an unwritten story. A phrase would become my inspiration to make my work come alive (instead of the other way around). But I was too young then, and my inspiration lasted only as long as my attention span in Mr. Brandenburgh's 4th grade class.
Even now though, I get secret jitters whenever I come across a mesmerizing title of another work or I conjure up my own. Simple things in life (like an excellent title) make me happy.
