Wow!! Fantastic!

I just bought your short story on my Nook, so Jimmy can read it. Not sure how long it has actually been available on the nook.

Thanks, Jess!

I struggle with picking a font... I loved the first one. It looked type-written. Unfortunately it didn't work anymore with the L. Looking around it seems it's standard to all-caps names, so I think that's best and maybe it is a very good thing I was pushed to make a change.

I loved Mindy's suggestion of increasing the size on the first letters.

I think I like the 2nd one the best, and the 4th one would be a close runner-up. They're both very similar, but the 4th one appears to be more embossed.

Since your name is all capitalized, I don't care for the first one too much anymore, and the outline on the 3rd feels like too much.

...or you could always try all caps with the W, L, and Y being a larger font (if you like the look). I'm anxious to see what you decide! How exciting!

Hey, Mindy!!

I have been writing the last couple of days and haven't played with it again. Will try to do that tomorrow and try your Upper/lower and size suggestion. I'm not happy with the all-caps either or I would have already posted it.

And yet there's a certain strength in all the letters being capitalized and a feeling of confidence to your name. Does that sound weird? I remember being told to use capitals and a slightly larger font for the first initials of the name on a resume. This exciting cover is a resume of sorts, don't you think? Since you use capitals on the "A Short Story" it seems like it could work. Have you drafted up any other possibilities?

Hope things are going well for you all!

2011-05-17T18:23:33.713-04:00

I wondered the same thing about lower case, and like the lower case better. I would try a different font. Not sure why I don't like the capital letters, but don't really.

2011-05-17T16:39:44.034-04:00

You really hit it there, Jess - I too love the lower case but the 'l' looks like the number one and completely interrupts the flow as it's the only 'tall' letter in lower case.....

Maybe a different font?

2011-05-17T16:00:04.599-04:00

I like the idea of putting a middle initial in to reduce confusion. As an observation, I liked the all-lowercase letters on your first cover, and I noticed you went with all capital letters for your name on the revision. Is this because L could be misinterpreted? I'm curious, as I preferred the lower case initials, but I'd understand going to capitals for the middle initial reason.

2011-05-17T14:01:55.155-04:00

I like the new design. I also agree it is good to show it is a short story, or novel. Especially in the E-reader world.

Disappointed your short story still has not gotten to the NOOK yet, as of yesterday.

I'm new to Bones so just catching up on things. I just read your script and LOVED IT! You are an excellent author. Every bit of dialog fit the characters...I could hear their voices as I read. Although I enjoyed the other person's script, I found yours more true-to-character and more engaging...and I loved the subtext! I wish I could see this script on the screen!

Wow, mine is 71. Almost as nerdy as you are Wendy, though I am a little late, I guess

Don't feel bad - it took me like two months to update my blog. And it took work boredom and Zack getting a girl pregnant to get me back on.

I want to see the novel. If everybody else can have a say I should also be able to.

No shelving! I'm still interested in that script. And the story, and the novel, for that matter...;-)

Getting yourself in the mood already? ;-)

She sent me a color fix. It's not exactly the same, but looks really close! Much better than the error :)

Looks fixed now.
