"Checklist For Writing Like A Fangirl: #2 The Mega Title"

Mega titles are basically like this:

My New Best Friend Is WHO, And He's A WHAT? I'm Logan Lerman's New WEREWOLF MATE?!

(Poor Logan. No one deserves that. I'm sorry.)

Anyway! As you can see, you need a very, very long title. Use CAPITOL LETTERS, the first person narrative, at least one ?!, and always give off the impression that it is a very hyperactive teenaged girl screaming out her woes to the public.

Good? Good.

And you must be quirky.

Say things like, My Mom Got Married To A Vampire And His Sons Are One Direction! Oh, Brother!

Um...Why Did I Just See Justin Bieber Outside My Window?

Mom! Who Told American Idol They Can Film Inside Our Living Room?!

I have one thing to say about titles like this.

Not a book for preschoolers?

Then not. Cute.
