It’s confusing. My suggestion is spend some time commenting on other people’s projects and they will follow you and then comment on yours!

Right now I am trying to figure out how these comments and forums work.  O_O

Haha, love the video and look forward to learning more! PM me if you would like any Inkshares tips. Welcome to the community and good luck!

Hi Gang!  Check out the new cover!  Diana did a FANTASTIC job - I don’t think I have ever had a designer that captured my entire idea so perfectly on the first go round.  You can talk to her about any designs you need here:  Diana Buidoso

I love that - and am bookmarking the site!

I used them for my first book a few years ago and the results were equally fantastic.  I highly recommend the site.  There are lots of good cover artists out there, but I have had such good luck with the contest.  The last guy I worked with was from Italy.  Fabulous at grasping the concept.  And this person is equally good.  From Bucharest.

WOW! That is amazing.  Bad ass indeed.  I might have to check out using that site.  

SO EXCITED!  I put Dragon Siege cover design concept out for a contest and look what the artist came up with.  Fantastic!  Contest closes tomorrow - but they are going to have to go a long way to beat this one.  Totally bad ass!  https://www.designcontest.com/book-cover-design/dragon-siege/entry/4/

So psyched - new cover coming up soon.  If I get enough "contestants" I may have everyone vite on which one they like best!

Hi Gang!  Thanks for all the interest, tweets, comments and general support.  What a week this has been.  I’ve been working on Drago Siege and Chapter 3 was really getting to be heavy going and I just couldn’t figure out why.  I was scratching my head over it and I ran across some advice by another author that said (basically) when things get impossibly hard - you’ve probably taken a wrong turn somewhere and it is more than likely in regards to lack of foundation or research.  Sure enough, once I thought about it I realized the characters had not been built out enough in my head - so they were all over the place.  Plus, this is my first fantasy full novel, and worldbuilding is going to take some, well, BUILDING.  So that’s what I have done.  Been taking notes on who the characters are (in my mind) and what the rules are in the world they live in.  And FYI - I don’t plan on doing any funding until late in the fall (when the 2nd draft is completed).  Right now I just want to start getting feedback from people  etc.  Thanks for all your input and keep it coming!
