Okay guys, I need your help with something completely unrelated to Marjorie.
In just over a month I'm going to be a self-employed individual. It occurs to me that I need a business card, web site, whatever, in order to make this mid-life crisis thing look respectable.
To that end, I am wide open to suggestions for two things:
1. I need a perfect name for a "company" of one person that is dedicated to long form writing projects. Teri has come up with the best name so far "Bayberry Ink", but I'm rejecting it on the grounds that it's got more than a whiff of femininity about it. My company name doesn't necessarily have to be macho, but should be gender neutral at a minimum.
2. I need to give myself a title. President and CEO would work, but isn't very imaginative. I thought that "Chief Inkslinger" might work until I Googled the word "inkslinger" and discovered that lots of writers and tattoo artists are already all over that one.
So if you've got ideas for either the company name or the title for its sole employee, bring 'em.

I'm not very good at this but....What type of writing do you plan to do?
As for job titles, several came to mind. OEO (only executive officer) but then I kept seeing these flying monkeys in my head. MEO (ME Only) but then Me Oh MyO kept playing...
This is hard.....
Wow, that gave me an idea.
Have you heard of the infinite monkey theorem? The idea is that if you had an infinite number of monkeys banging on keyboards, they would eventually reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare.
So maybe the "Infinite Monkey Corporation" and my title could be "Head Ape". Just a thought.
Keep the ideas coming.
I'm liking the "Ink" portion of the title. How about something really obvious, "Henley Ink." Or, perhaps some other favorite term or saying of yours followed by "Ink."
I came up with "BYE Ink" for Best Year Ever, but saying bye before you start might be bad foreshadowing.
On the positive side, my best student designer-the one who won an internship at an agency in San Francisco this summer, wants to work on the design--and he is REALLY GOOD!
I am thinking that late-night drunken porch sitting at Jazz Fest this weekend might be a fertile ground for ideas. Cathleen and I will work on it this weekend too as we have a French wine and cheese tasting on Friday night and a little pre-shopping warmup.
