home_and_awaySteven Brust makes a rather pointed observation, and I find myself nodding agreement and wondering, "Yes, but how to change it?"
In other news, I'm coming to the conclusion that when I'm planning a cover, I need to take Ideas A and B and feed them to Idea C. Don't even bother working them out in realtime; build them mentally and poke them till they break, then feed the bits of them to the next idea. And maybe THEN I'll be able to get to the end of a book without a "Well....Damn." moment.
That, to say that I'm finally happy enough with Seamus's book to hand it to him in exchange for shiny gold rocks. But it's been a humdinger, getting there. Bloody Tudor roses.
