Hi all!
My week started on Wednesday. The rascals were off from work on Monday and Tuesday. A whirlwind of two days. Shopping, eating out, took the doggie to the vet, (and he lives to bark and bite another day.) But I survived the ordeal! That’s what counts.
In the short week I had to myself, I finished chapter 22 and send it to the editors. Even started chapter 23 and are about 2000 words in on it.
I also got the brain-fart to change “Star Of Assisi’s” cover-page form the generic one to a more fitting one. I had not posted it for a few minutes when I got an email that said, “Horrible Picture.”
Well, I myself was not totally happy with the picture, so with a few things like asking “Perchance AI Image generator” to paint me a photo-real picture of a sunset over Noordhoek beach, I got a background I could use. Then imported that into DAZ 3D and did a silhouette of Roy and Fiona on the beach looking at the sunset. It is after all a love story.
LibreOffice Draw came next and provided the script for the titles and all this came together in Paint.net. The final product I opened in IrfanView and sized it. Thus, dropping the file size from 5 mb to around 800 kb without sacrificing the quality. Uploaded and – no word yet on the cover page. Mission completed.
So, if you have anything to say about the new cover page – I am open to suggestions. I don’t bite. Sometimes I don’t express myself that well in English, but I don’t mean any harm. I appreciate each and every one of you. Even the “horrible picture” remark. It tells me that I need to go back to the drawing-board. It also tells me that you look at what I did and has the grid to tell me, “NO!”
One of my “consultants” told me that the title of the picture is too slanted and the fond of the “By Jody Daniel” is boring. After I explained that the “Star Wars” theme of the title depicts the elusiveness of the “Star,” he conceded that I had something, and it makes sense.
Here is chapter 20. Enjoy! Don’t forget to vote... It helps to motivate me. Especially the 10 votes! LOL!!! And the 10-votes outnumber the rest by far.
Those that voted 1, 5 and 6. There is only six of you in total. Even the 7-vote is far behind the 8, 9, and 10 votes! And the 10-votes are running away from the pack. LOL!
Wishing you all the best — until next week!
Bye 4 now!
