Alrighty @hannah-krynicki. I am SO sorry about the long wait again. I sincerely hope I didn’t hold up your writing process. Why don’t you send me all your questions, I’ll answer the ones I can, and send the rest to my British friends? That is, assuming you still need the questions answered. 😀 Again, I’m SO sorry about the wait.

Actually, wait…I just looked at the email you sent again @his-instrument. For some reason, I was thinking the Writer’s Gathering was on January 7. However, if it’s on the 21st, I might (just might) be able to make it. It’s about 1 hour and 30 minutes from where I live. Let me ask my mom and I’ll let you know. 😀

I’m SO sorry I haven’t responded to this until now @his-instrument! Ahh, I feel so bad. This past semester has been so crazy school-wise…It’s been insane. But that’s no excuse for not responding! I’m really sorry! Anyway, about the writing gathering…unfortunately, I don’t think I can make it. So sorry, and thanks so much for trying to…[Read more]

@Daeus *chokes* That is hilarious.

@Daeus oh dear. That’s awful. Try a little perspective next time. I hear it works wonders.

@Daeus WHAT YOU WERE SITTING HERE WORRYING ALL MORNING??? 😛 Loosen up a bit. XD

@Daeus sorry I’m late again… @Hope wasn’t kidding when she said I had mice in the wifi box. Seriously. Twelve of them. They were promptly ejected, but they did mess things up quite a bit… 😛
And that definitely sounds like it could work; your idea. I especially like the idea about the letter. One word of caution— I can tell you from personal…[Read more]

Oh yeah…heh. 😛 @daeus
Well, I kinda like the black and white idea, but I would be warned to make it readable. I don’t know what your thinking of, but what I have in my head is hard to read. And are you planning on keeping the guy in addition to the noose and the girl?? or would you loose one of them. All three of those would look cluttered. I…[Read more]

@daeus If he is struggling with something, he could be pouring over a book on a desk, his head in his hands.

@daeus Just a thing about that guy (who I’m assuming is Edwin Brooke)…at first glance it looks as if he is holding an axe, not a cane. (or is it even a cane) And I also am not sure about all the faded letters in his face.

Your graphic designer is going to hate me for that… 😛

@Daeus here I am! Returned from the dead!

*dives into critic-mode* Okay, I like it? First problem is it doesn’t fit the genre. Not sure it quite looks like a romance, but it doesn’t really fit the story. Some of that may be because of the boring brick wall but you said that’s going, so… yeah. For an action/adventure though it’s too calm and…[Read more]

I like that cover. Perhaps the red could be a bit bolder so it stands out more. My one thought was that if the man was in action and/or wore some red it would pop more. But I don’t know if that is possible. Also…what is he holding?

I don’t care for the background picture, though a locket by itself could work. The hand and locket could work, but…[Read more]

No… maybe I should just wait until the internet connection isn’t so spotty. That shouldn’t affect it, but maybe it does. And I’m about to lose signal anyway…

Huh… that is weird. I’m having internet troubles, maybe that’s it?

@Daeus it’s not showing up…

@Daeus That is cool. Those buildings! I love them.

I think your name would look better the same sort of color as the title, but darker; and also what Hope said—the fonts do look a little mismatched.
Though actually…I think it’ll be great once you change the name color, without changing the font.
And the stuff about the rain too.

The title…[Read more]

@Daeus oohhh, I really like it. I would say yes, probably better to get your name matching the title. Also, a bit more technical piece of criticism here… my inner graphic designer is screaming at me that there should be more motion in the picture. It’s a lovely dramatic picture (love the shadows of the houses and such) but a lot more could be…[Read more]

@Jess that’s kind of neat.

@Ethryndal Will do. 🙂

I agree with getting your name the same color as the title. And I think the fonts should match better. Your name isn’t going to be fancy like the title, but they just seem mismatched right now. It would be cool if the pattern thing could be a symbol from the book, but I’m not sure if there are any overt symbols in your book…

And one picky…[Read more]
