And I am done - with the romance genre.

(Note to myself - simply choosing a background which is nice is stupid if the colour of the font is difficult to show)

The front cover:

And the back cover: (pretty pleased with myself for the book bar code😆😆😆):

And finally matching front cover and back covers in the sizes mentioned by IF - I know I can improve a lot more, but then I cease for now.

The front cover:

And the back cover:

Hey Nyna,
You can use 'Wattpad covers' for the proper sizes. I made my own covers in Wattpad. I can't post any pic in IF as it's almost impossible to post any pic from mobile. You can check the links for covers

1st one

2nd one

Last one

I'm not sure about the picture quality though. How will they look on computer screen I've no idea. I made and watched them using my phone.

Love,
Dyuti

Dear Dyuti,

I liked all the covers, and the second one - "Caged", why do you not post it in this forum? I am too lazy to wander across different platforms, too much of a cultural difference. It took me quite a while to become comfortable here, so I prefer IF.

Navigating the forum pages using the mobile is a pain - I hate it. I rarely use the mobile - I prefer the laptop and the ease of the keyboard (quite large when compared to the one on the mobile so it is comfortable for my nice chubby fingers😆😆😆).

When I mentioned that the cover size was wrong, it was because the IF contest rules mentioned that the size had to be 400*500 - so I had to redo both.

And now I have another idea - I should have simply used contagious sections of the widescreen wallpaper, it could be been similar to those hardcover jackets. Well, I do gain smartness in hindsight🤣)

But are the covers passable😳😳

love,

Nyna

And the final one - Air element - Laksh

Still some refining to be done - the edges should not be so sharp and well defined - this should do for a first cut.

ETA - February 16, 2017

The above one is too...dusty😆, so I have redone with a different background:

Nyna,
About "Caged" I posted the prologue on a whim, and it didn't get that response. ( It's difficult to get noticed there). Then my other stories are already tiring me. So decided to keep in on hiatus for a while. You're right about cultural differences, (Though I'm writing about India without being an Indian. Oneday I'll surely write a story about my culture, in my mother tongue).Also there are many seasoned writers so that can be intimidating.
Another thing I did was submitted my chapters for reviews. That helped a lot. Wattpad version therefore is more polished the IF version. I hope to post the edited parts on IF someday.

I'm too lazy to sit before PC. Hoping to get an Ipad for myself for that my fingers get some open space. What softwares do you use? Photoshop? Your edits are good, especially the ones those including faces.

Love,.
Dyuti

There's an mobile app named aviary. You can tone down the sharp edges by using spot bluring. Search the PC version if you have a difficulty with the edges.

Dear Nyna ..

I just finished reading your rambaling .. I find it useful and I felt at ease reading it ..

I loved reading it ..

Nyna you are Talented as a writer and at pictures editing .. you are an inspiration to me ..

I am able to connect myself in your writing and I felt we are similar at some parts ( ok I should stop saying this like a broken record 😆 ) ..

__________________________________________

I have a similar thing called [Scraps] in my mobile and my laptop .. which are so many ( maybe over 1000 if I count them ) .. at least I write 3 notes daily , but I am lacking courage in my writing so they never see the light and stay with the 4 wall of my notes or Word .. ( I took writing seriously last year as I believed I can write well , though I still questions my ability to do so )

I admire you as you are able to do something I can't do till now ..

This is something I say ..

" One day I will write an amazing story and I will become Fabulous ,,

But that day is not today .. " 😆

Which is a spin off a quote of one of my favourite writers says

" One day I will read all these books and I will become Fabulous ,,

But that day is not today .. "
