I get a few hours in after work each day, and the story is coming together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This cover was an interesting struggle simply because I started out the 'Super Hero' way, which is to just plaster a big picture of the main character for the cover, but I wasn't ecstatic about the results. I guess I feel that big character art only sells books where people know who the character is. This is a lot more mysterious, and I'm hoping it will draw people into picking up the book and flipping through it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37390624-933377107490787147?l=arlenart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arlenart.blogspot.com/feeds/933377107490787147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37390624&amp;postID=933377107490787147' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37390624/posts/default/933377107490787147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37390624/posts/default/933377107490787147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arlenart.blogspot.com/2009/02/wow-its-been-awhile-since-ive-posted.html' title=''/><author><name>Arlen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16485211659238962720</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZH4xkZ4WQIM/SYk-aKBKs4I/AAAAAAAAAEA/JfUnW7seK9A/s72-c/Neumo+Cover+copy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37390624.post-5748408529031560171</id><published>2008-02-05T02:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-05T02:10:38.892-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZH4xkZ4WQIM/R6g1_R912XI/AAAAAAAAACQ/HBi6J6m0DIs/s1600-h/stache+copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163436334051088754" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZH4xkZ4WQIM/R6g1_R912XI/AAAAAAAAACQ/HBi6J6m0DIs/s400/stache+copy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wagug!
