I have just learned to do something I find quite enjoyable: Photoshop. Really, alternating pictures to make a new picture is awesome! Already, I have made covers for my NaNoWriMo projects* and a few for other writers on Figment.com. I have to say, I have become quite the professional about it.
This is great because one of my ideas five years from now is possibly make my own independent publishing firm. If I can do that, I can make covers for those books and thereby, saving money. I mean, ultimately, I can make more money by not paying a designer to make my covers. Especially if I can do it myself. This is great! Also, it’s very fun. I can get about 3-5 done in 10 minutes, which is just like my bookmarks. It’s a great way to relieve stress, but keep the creativity going.
* I use stock photos for my stuff because they are free and I don’t have to pay royalties. Hence why it’s saving me money.
Here are some examples of what I’ve done!

My only issue is that the girl isn’t the same girl. I may have to redo them eventually, but right now I’m happy.


Good info, a lot of thanks to the author. It can be incomprehensible to me now, but in common, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and great luck! Gopro Cameras
Have you ever heard of a website called Protagonist.com? It’s a little bit more mature than Figment’s younger based writers.
No, I haven’t heard of that website. That is so cool! Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out when I can
