Ryan Maloney regrets his longer titles like "Gravity Loco" and wonders why he kept adding "The" to everything. Short titles are easier to remember and better for search, but "Everything Everywhere All at Once" proves a long title can work if the work is strong enough.

Chapters

I should have named this book differently. I could have called it Gravity Loco or Gravity Goes Loco. Would have been shorter, more memorable, better for search. And then I did it again, The Night. Why did I do that? Why was I going through this thing where I had to put like the day or the night before every title? Submarine Bed? Nah. I mean, there's exceptions. You don't have to have a short title or short brand name. Long things, you know, long like, what's that movie? Everywhere, Everywhere All at Once? Like Hard to say. Long title, and people still remember it because it's good.
