There’s that word again…
I am beginning to think that once I know what I think I am doing, I should just shrug my shoulders and accept that I don’t. Every new step forward seriously feels like it leads to one hundred steps back.
So, there I am and I think I’ve got my book cover all figured out. It took me forever, but I finally know what I want. I am really happy with my plan and I’ve narrowed my choices down to a few artists. Then the other shoe drops and I come to learn (!) that I what I want will be prohibitively expensive.
And I understand, boy do I. An artist has to make a living and pouring your heart and soul into something and getting little back for it is tough.
Now, most of this is due to my lack of knowledge. This means more reading of Copyright Laws, Limited Use Agreements. And I’m sure as soon as I dive down that rabbit hole; there will be even more that I barely have a clue about. So it’s back to research what can be done and come up with a new game plan.
But you know what? At least I know what I want now. And that is worth quite a lot on its own.
