Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I don't have much of a writing process, which is probably why it takes me so long to finish projects. I follow my muse and I work with the time that I have available, which is scant.
I'm not a natural outliner, mostly because I'm so hungry to get into writing the story that has struck my interest. Despite that, I am slowly beginning to appreciate the benefits of outlining and I'm starting to do it more and more.
How do you approach cover design?
An Unproductive Woman was originally published through a vanity press. At that time, I designed the cover in conjunction with a design team. I knew what I wanted and I provided the pictures and guidelines and they gave me what I envisioned.
When I decided to redo the cover, I was going to do it myself, but soon realized I wasn't the best person to do it. I sought help in fellow independent author Starla Huchton, who beside writing also does voice acting and cover design. I supplied the picture and a general idea of what I was looking for and she brought that to life.
I recently purchased a couple of new pictures that I intend to use on the cover of my next book. Provided Starla will have me, I'll use her services again.

    What can I say? This didn't fail to impress me. This little story was more of the same goodness I've come to expect, respect, and love from Lindsay Buroker. Sircarius was in top form...Sheesh. I love these characters!
