AB, congrats on an almost finished novel!! Mine still has about 25 K to go, but it is getting there. I am having a blast writing about my characters!
MissP, Nice job! I hope you are finding this story as much fun as your last one to write. I know how much fun it is to develop a story. It brings peace to my very un-peaceful world!
BTW, I just started my third installment of the Alice and Jasper series, and so far it has been well received.

I can't believe they added the banging head one after I needed it! LOL
Does anyone know how the cover art for novels is decided? Does the author have any say in it?

I don't know much about the world of publishing, but I would hope the author would have final say over their cover art after all the hard work that goes into writing a novel! I think I remember reading somewhere about SM collaborating with someone on Twilight's cover art.

Usually, yes, the author has a great deal of say in it. International deals are less controllable.Amanda Beth wrote:I can't believe they added the banging head one after I needed it! LOL

Okay, I love the smiles that 24601 added for us. Have you seen this one yet?

Re: Writers Central
OOOOOOO!! I love our mascot!!
I plan on doing some of that this afternoon after a bite of lunch!
Ya'll have a happy Saturday!
Our snow is FINALLY melting! It's back to school on Monday!
Happy Sunday, Ya'll! Okay... so I'm just not in the mood to write these days! I just can't seem to make myself do it. So, I'm not going to until the mood strikes me.

Ha Ha! Me too! Finally, I think the great drought is over. I just spit out 2400 words for WDH in less than two hours. It's probably a mess, but it's out... who cares!!! PS- I love the Writer's Central mascot!! Thanks so much for that!!
PPS- The Shimmer Awards have a category for post-Breaking Dawn and canon stories. I may have nominated some of you ladies.
Check it out at: http://shimmerawards.blogspot.com/ The nomination process is a pain. There's no form so you have to cut and paste all the links into an email to them, but I always miss nominations and I know not many people read canon fics, so I took the time to nominate some.

Re: Writers Central
OMG!!! Has anyone else noticed what our little mascot does after about 30 seconds? Watch him!! Too funny!! He's PERFECT for me right now! Along with I hope this weekend finds me with a little time to sit down at the computer and finish the 1st chapter of Between Dusk and Dawn. Ginny~~ Congrats on your nomination! I VOTED!
GOSH!! It's Sunday evening and no one's been back in this thread for several days. Where are you guys?
I finally finished Chapter 1 of my new fic, Between Dusk and Dawn! I've decided to wait until I have several chapters written to post it on ffic.net. The second semester is always a wild and crazy one, and I just can't limit myself to a set update schedule at this point. Too much pressure.
