Geeky Writerly Moment


Okay, so this is probably a really stupid thing to post, but I'm excited about it. I finally have hardcopies of all of my books up until now printed on Lulu. I have a bunch of betas that prefer that, and it is sometimes easier to find typos in them that way. It's also silly and time-consuming that I like to do all my own covers for fun, but I'm silly and most of my life is time-consuming. Anyway, so here they all are... all my books. Yay! I have them all in my hands--like a tangible thing. The top ones are the Honor books. Then, the Company of Him series. Finally, the strays that are stand-alones.

Scorched is still my favorite cover, I think.

Oh, and I should mention that it is especially silly to spend so much time on the covers since other than my hard-copy betas and me--no one else can get these books as they're private on Lulu. Yeah, anyway, it's still fun to see your name on the copy of a book--even if you're just printing it out to mark for typos.

  2. Well, I think it looks very nice. And its so nice to have such a prize of talent to point to and say, "I did those."

    Congratulations!

  3. Wow! Wendy they all look very cool. I think it's a great idea that you've done this. Even if your never published you'll leave an incredible piece of you with your family.

  6. Whatever. That is so not geeky. I think it is fantastic.

    And you WILL be published!

  7. Of course you'll be published, that goes without saying :)

    And not geeky. Seeing your books line your bookshelf, the prelude to a dream. It's brilliant.

  8. I'm sorry if I implied that you may not get published. I'm sure you will be. This is something I tell myself as a possible reason to keep writing.

  9. I'm thinking about doing that with all of my short stories when the rights get reverted back to me, that way I can have them all in one place. Congrats on all those books!!!

  12. I think this is totally cool and I love Scorched the most too. Not geeky at all to design your own covers. I think it it one of the fun aspects of writing. Hmm...you've inspired me to design a cover for my new book.
