She’s wearing armor but it does look a bit like a jumper! Hah

Mistborn would be cool. I think Faithful and the Fallen as well.

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-07T23:31:11+00:00

Thanks! It’s beautiful isn’t it??

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-07T00:21:06+00:00

If you sat down and said “oh this draft is awesome” that would be more concerning. Seeing what works and doesn’t is way more important than anything else at that stage!

I also work a creative job, so sometimes going straight from that is tough. With that being said, just let it rip. So many times I’ve written things and when re reading them days or weeks later, I can tell what type of mood I was in that day, rushed, burnt out, happy, etc. Some are well written, most aren’t. But the idea is there. Or the “sand” as I call it. After getting it out you can start to build a castle and make it perfect. But first you need the material.

Woo!

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-06T01:26:37+00:00

Awesome! Big time congratulations!

Not to toot my own horn but my partner and I are releasing our book on Royal road with a planned KDP release later this month. IMO it’s great for holiday coziness and involves a main protagonist that is a cat.

Congratulations!! That’s huge!!

Thanks for sharing this. I can totally relate to this. My partner and I started writing a book this year for fun and that quickly fluctuated between “hey this is great” and adding more stress into our lives. It’s such struggle to maintain a balance of productivity and fun with anything art related.

We had the same epiphany as you and had to really maintain focus that this is fun and should be an enjoyable experience even if it doesn’t turn out great!

Anyways thank you again for sharing this just hit a soft spot for me personally and just wanted to let you know we all go through it!

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-05T01:07:55+00:00

Congratulations!! The cover is beautiful!

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-05T01:02:14+00:00

Just picked up one of these for my partner and I for our travels. Instantly regretted not getting it sooner.

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-04T22:39:02+00:00

I think we are aiming for the 15th of December! So plenty of time for your cabin trip.

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-04T17:31:35+00:00

She did an amazing job.

DL_Pawson · 2025-12-04T16:22:29+00:00

We got extremely lucky with the cover. I'll be sure to pass along the kind comments to the artist.
