Inspiration

According to Nanowrimo 60% of all the winners had a cover for their novel. So I thought to myself I'll give this a shot. I'm not surprising that I am fairly good at photoshop. It's not my first kick at the can editing a picture for a book. I actually have a little more time on my hands this time to play with the photo. I headed off to the local flea market and procured some old cheap coins from the vendor there. Truth be told I probably could have used a car wash token after all the photoshopping I did, but I wanted it to feel authentic somehow. Who knows I could have picked up my own magic coin in the process. It was literally my last stop. I had already purchased a Claddagh ring and a pride ring for ridiculously cheap. I think I'd probably die of old age before I got a claddagh ring from anyone else that I liked so I got one myself. I digress. My neighbour graciously allowed me to dry some clothing at her house (Nanny Anne I love you!) and also allowed me to use her as a hand model. So there we have it a cover for my unfinished novel. I still have a lot of typing to do this evening, my little side trips and distractions have cut down my typing time today. I'm still way ahead of the game, but as I said, I don't believe that 50 thousand words is going to be enough, and I really want to have this done before the end of the month. I also have rationalized that perhaps if I have a pretty enough cover the words inside won't be so important. I'm still terribly afraid that I have written some abomination of a story. But I'm not through yet. Go Pamela!
