At this time, I'm leaning towards (B). Anyone have a leaning?

Goal is to emulate the style of the books that sandwich it.

(A) Conveys sense of drowning (this was the goal. She's drowning in the rules society expects of her)
Not fond of the backwards lettering. Would probably un-mirror it

(B) Lighter look
Lettering a bit difficult to read

(C) Some random idea I had 20 minutes ago

As a reader, I wouldn't be expecting both recipients of healing to experience the same stimuli

Not really; just seems that way. I've been working on this for months. And I couldn't have done it without you (and all the other reviewers). Hugs.
Yep. Fast. J3nna was 7 yrs

I'm in a similar bind. Since I have a long commute, I've trained myself into writing during transit. With no commute, I find it hard to maintain the discipline in what had become automatic. I was at about 750words per day and that's been lost for the past week or so.

Re: Project R (16 replies, posted in Close friends)
Interesting... that link is to the paper edition which is not available on Amazon (and is actually out of print. I only ever made about 20 copies).
When I clicked "all editions" and selected kindle, the link worked from there. Not sure how to fix
Goodness... the story's almost 10 yrs old. Where does the time go??

Re: Project R (16 replies, posted in Close friends)
Correct. I wrote project L up to chapter 26 (posted upto 11). At that point I started exploring the antagonist and realized I had a better story there. Will return to the original later tho.

Perfection is an interesting problem, and it much plagues Superman, though DC has been trying to write him flawed for the past 15 years.
It's hard to solve! For Laine, since this is technically book 7, there's not much I can do to keep her imperfect. I added that she's become a bit greedy from losing all her money. But that's now a flaw per se (given that they really took all her money). It's a reaction to stimulus, not a character flaw

Re: Project R (23 replies, posted in Fantasy/Magic & Sci-Fi)
Complicated.
Project L is a basic vampire werewolf story. Not much different from Twilight meets Underworld of any of the other million supernatural love stories before them. Reviewers here are clearly not reading Twilight so I'm getting reviews I can't use effectively.
Issues: . Laine is internally happy. She doesn't brood. She's not selfish or mean, and is coming from "low" to her magic and the millions in the bank locked away for all her life.
Makes sense to post a story I can get more mileage out of. Project R is more of Underworld meets Constantine. The MC is losing everything and will do anything to get it back. There is no formula of boy meets girl or even a hero win. No formula allows me more freedom to onboard suggestions. Better suited for this site.

Laura is shelved. Probably for 5-6 years.
Switching to an antagonist POV

Laura's story has been temporarily abandoned. Will return to it in 5-6 years.
Switching to an antagonist story soon

That's a very dense sentence. Lots of data packed in a short space. It's not "bad" per se because it gets all the actors on stage, but it catches my eye
