Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too! The rules are easy: post a pic somewhere of something you’ve made in the last week (ish; let’s say in the last month as the hard-and-fast) and tag it. Sit back and enjoy scrolling through all the beautiful things we’ve collectively created, and celebrate the fact that humans can be awesome! 🙂
Yes yes, exciting thing out of the way first: SANCTUARY 3, AKA WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, HAS A RELEASE DATE!! Look for it everywhere books are found online on August 23 :3 Preorders will be available in the next couple of weeks – WOO HOO!!! (Which also means there’ll be a cover release too – ARE YOU EXCITED?!! YOU SHOULD BE, because the cover is GORGEOUS and my designer Clare did an AMAZING job!!!)
Ahem. Okay. On to the Made It Monday.
I’ve mostly been focusing on catching up at work this week after being sick for a couple of weeks. I was behind with marking, but as of writing this post on the weekend, I’m just about up to date again, which is AMAZEMENT. It’s been a long week. So, I don’t have a huge number of ‘made it’ options. I forgot to take photos of the cake that went to my husband’s work last week, and the photos from the cake a few weeks ago that I keep forgetting about are on my phone, which is playing up and maybe probably dying, and I really NEED to get everything off it… and haven’t yet. So hopefully you’ll have those cake pics next week.
So today, you get a mock-up cover I made because I saw the stock image and was experimenting with Crello, a newish online design program kind of like Canva. (Where ‘kind of’ means ‘almost exactly’, except it’s connected to Deposit Photos so you can access all their stock through it for about $1 per picture, which is kind of useful I guess? It has possibilities, anyway.) The title I used is worth remembering, and that’s all I’m going to say for now (hint hint), but this is NOT the cover for THAT novel, because that novel doesn’t have guns. Spoiler: I’m yet to even plan a story with guns in it (real ones, anyway), because getting it wrong is scary and I’m super unknowledgeable about them. Ha.
But the stock art was cool and I think it’ll make a great cover someday, if I or someone whose covers I’m loosely responsible for should write a book that suits. :3
Happy Monday, and YAY SANCTUARY RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!
What have you made this week? (It doesn’t have to be fancy!!) Don’t forget to tag your contribution, or even better, leave a link in the comments!! I love seeing what inspiring things other people have made 🙂 🙂 🙂
