Honey I’m home! Did you miss me? Okay, I’ll just pretend you said yes and noticed I wasn’t here. I’ve been looking at different things, short stories mainly, tinkering and editing so I can come back to the main book fresh.
Main thinking today is starting to wonder what the eventual title might be. In tribute to the inspiration (Sexting in the year 2000 and the film Brief Encounter) the working title was Brf NCountr w a Nok 3310 but I’m not sure if that works to appeal to an audience or if it’s too clunky (though it does what it says it says on the tin). Another version was brEf Ncntr but again, not sure if it might be obvious to the potential audience what it meant. The cover might help of course, and I’m starting to imagine what I want for that (clunky old mobile phone in there somewhere). I like the idea of using the author name font as the same as The Raven Sound, for brand, but the title font should be reminiscent of a mobile phone, so not sure how that will work yet. Time to talk to the designer soon, but not until I have a clearer idea.
Other variation titles include a brEf F air <3 and also an added pun with tEXt me <3 but not totally convinced yet. Time to work on the pitch to give me a better idea. If any of the above look good/terrible to you, please do shout though, I’d value all thoughts!
Stay safe
