On Book Covers and Changes...

- Brief interim here. This isn't going to be about how I'm trying to find myself, or anything. This is just a topic that I've seen brought up a lot recently and one that really irritates me. Since this was created mainly to get things off my chest and have a good old complain about how much life sucks I'm going to write about it. And you're all just going to have to be OK with that! -


I don't know how many people out there can say the same, but I'm quite a perfectionist. And I'm pretty OCD with my perfectionism. If I'm making something, I have to make it perfectly otherwise it is just a bunch of rubbish at the end of it. If I'm writing a story then I won't let anyone see it unless I have checked it over beforehand to make sure it is alright for reading. The books on my shelves, absolutely have to be neat and orderly. For me, books have to be organised by author and within that chronological order if they're part of a series. Other than that my books are fine being wherever I put them. Unless... Unless those stupid publishers decide that they are going to change the cover art.

This is when all hell breaks loose.

Particularly if they do it in the middle of a series and the original cover designs are discontinued.

I mean, where is the necessity for them to do this to us?! You know what makes it even worse? When the original covers are the most exquisitely beautiful things ever and they change them into something horrible and lackluster! I mean, what gives book people!?

I swear, if I ever get a book series of my own published and they change the covers halfway through... People better start running.

Just saying...
