The newsletter name — a room for one change

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Decisions with a return path

The little shop had a notebook for problems too small for a meeting. Lina opened it and read: “A project name is chosen before the intended readers are clear.”

Below the complaint was room for one more sentence. Lina wrote: “Write the audience and promise before comparing names.” The next person did not need a speech; they needed that next move.

Nobody rang a bell when the little change worked. Somebody simply found what they needed and carried on.
