(Making a cover, that is. Although getting a WIP past draft stage would be good too.)<br /><br />The 'author name' font looks really YA to me, I don't know why. ;) Did you think so? I wonder why some things (like certain fonts) just seem to feel like a certain genre...<br /><br />(And I've seen some double exposure pictures on Pinterest of faces with smoke/rough ocean/pine forests which would be AMAZING for a cover. Now I REALLY want to do that!)<br /><br /><a href="https://jemjoneswriter.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jem Jones</a>Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217377843580701766.post-1441460586860504642017-04-03T19:45:37.441-04:002017-04-03T19:45:37.441-04:00Thank you, Rosalie!
