It was my idea. However there’s nothing I can do except rant here and to anyone else that will listen, of course. Yes, the primary focus on ‘the other one’ is the red (blood) writing. The main character IS a doctor. Still, IT’S MY COVER!
What’s even more discouraging is that once upon critique I was told that my cover was wrong and I needed change the title of the book. Well, ain’t that just a how-do-ya-do slap in the face. You can tell I didn’t listen. It took too much blood, sweat, and tears to get to where I was – already over six months on Amazon and blogging steadily for the same amount of time. Besides, I really liked my cover and the title. The woman who vocalized that opinion was the cousin of a friend of a friend that blah, blah, blah somewhere and just glanced at my website for a moment. Bitch.
I had it first, Mr. Herman Koch writer dude. Though Mr. Writer Dude probably had noting to do with the cover. It was that stupid publishing house that rejected me long ago AND stole my cover that had everything to do with it. Stupid publishing house place. Hell, I’m just angry. You see, this is the aspect of my life that isn’t supposed to make me angry. Remember I work retail pharmacy – I’m angry everyday. This, this writing stuff is supposed to bring me joy and help me escape from the anger. (Insert big sigh)
Oh, well, I need to be done for now and get on with My Life As A Retail Pharmacist. See even angry and depressed I can be funny.
Thank you for letting me rant. And to those I complain to in person – an even bigger thank you.
