Update.......
I took into account some of the things you guys shared, bought the actual files and did a real mock-up in PS. Am I getting closer? I'm kind of not sure about center justifying the text now....
Thoughts? Not sure on the color of the author's name too.....

I'm at school during what SHOULD be a snow day. What better time to bust out the cover making. Disclaimers, I have yet to buy the art, I wanted to play first. I was using GIMP which is all my school laptop has (the real one will be done in PS). The shirt picked up the background color when I did a color fill, it's actually purple.
I like the idea of typewriter font since the story is about me writing the story and the confessions I have. But is it too plain? Should I have some sort of color block behind it to make it stand out more?
The idea cloud will be much better. It will have a heart w/ BFF in it, the word "SEX" (in hopes of adding a disclaimer about sex in the book), a jeep/suv, a tree, a cellphone, and a glass of wine.
The +7 I'm debating on. I was thinking of doing a chain, leading up to 7, with the other numbers struck out. Also I want the font to look handwritten (I might use my actual handwriting as I have a wacom for my photography biz). Does red work?
Does teal work for the background? And finally where do I put my name....since well, it's in the title.
