Tweaking is a technical term that refers to "making minor changes to a project."
I haven't done any writing the last two nights as I've been tweaking the cover for Foothold on Terra-Bravo. The current cover was a stop-gap measure to get one made for the e-book and get the e-book e-published. I used some available images from a web page I built to describe the old DC Comics Multiverse and slapped it together in Power Point.
The original cover idea I had for Foothold was taken from a scene in the book. I pulled some photos for my artist to use as references to help design the cover, but due to computer problems, the cover wasn't ready when I was ready to publish the story. So the last two days, I've created some "artwork" more in line with what I wanted the cover to look like. Now understand, I'm a writer, not an artist so it's really, really rough. I've colored it with pencils which I'm not pleased with so I may try it with water colors this weekend. (I kept a b/w digital copy to use as a template. I plan to further tweak the volcanic ash cloud, the hills, and the grassy area.
Like I said, I write...I don't draw!
I do plan to resume writing Chapter 4 of Crisis on Terra-Bravo tomorrow night. I promise!!!
Sales have stalled on Foothold, temporarily, I hope. Kyle and I would really like to see it take off and sell, sell, sell... Still haven't received any Customer Reviews good or bad.
Until then...let's be careful out there!
