Creative Writing and Cover Design
I've been spending time with audiobooks and Photoshop.
Friends,
I just finished a great creative-writing audiobook from James Hynes. What a fantastic listen! Hynes touches on character development, dialogue, point-of-view, and plot development. He delivers wisdom, but also encouragement, sharing a mature perspective on a writer’s challenges, and what can be expected from the lifestyle. As I continue the work on Looking for Dei, his chapters on revision have proven particularly encouraging.
If you’ve ever wanted to take the fabulous journey of writing a book, Hynes has produced a guide that I highly recommended!
In other news, Looking for Dei is moving along quite nicely, and in the process of a professional revision. I have been working on art the last few days, and would love opinions on which cover is preferred.
Option 1: Existing cover with Nara/Kayna depicted - Mount Fi in the background.
OR
Option 2: Single rune with Mount Fi in the background.

Original Cover
This is the original cover as envisioned by the brilliant artist, Diana Buidoso.
New Cover Option
In case one prefers more mystery, this cover depicts a rune like those spoken of throughout the novel (we'll talk more about runes in a blog post next month).
