So, I took a cool pic this morning

I was out having my morning smoke outside the hotel this morning and looked in front of me at the foggy path through the trees and thought, “This would make an excellent cover for my book.”

Took the photo myself and added the title and author name with the iPhone editing tools. Looking for any feedback you all might like to offer.

The book is a supernatural horror/thriller, kind of an old-fashioned ghost story with a modern twist.

Someone asked in another thread for me to post my pics here. It was a good show!

Any other late bloomers?

I’m working on the third draft of my first novel at the ripe old age of 51. Anyone else starting this hobby much later in life?

I finally worked up the willpower to stick it out and get it done; I’ve been thinking of writing a book since my 20s. If you’re starting late like me, what was the catalyst that got you going?

After so many years I don’t get many personal bests anymore! This one just fell into place.

After five months of evening and weekend work, my first draft is finished. It’s only 60k words and 170 pages, so my first revision will be to flesh it out some; the goal is 80k+. But I’m really pleased with my character development and the story arc. I’ll let it simmer for a few weeks before I dig in again.
