Cavanaugh Lee is a new client of mine whose book just came out last week. It's called Save as Draft: a novel written entirely in emails, texts, tweets, etc. Sound like fun? It totally is! And Cavanaugh is a total kick herself too.
The book is loosely based on real life events... She actually wrote the book in the aftermath of a broken engagement. The catalyst was when she went back and re-read all of her old emails to/from her ex-fiance. What she noticed from those emails was that her ex and she had spent the majority of their relationship on-line, not in-person, and that was what caused its demise. Because of work, responsibilities, and life in general, they didn’t spend any “real time” together and instead took the easy route – emailing, texting, twittering, and posting on each other’s Facebook walls. (Incredible!) Worse than that though, what she also noticed from her Gmail folder was how many emails were stuck in her Draft folder – emails that she never had the guts to send him....
You gotta read it!
