Personally I like the last one (Cover 2014 04 26b) the best. I think the sketch is too dark, because the title starts to blend into the background too much. I also think the title works better with the smaller letters in the last cover, then the slightly bigger in the first one.

I totally agree that assuming multiple identities to give oneself a lot of glowing reviews is dishonest It's an advertising scam, or something along those lines.

But I'm curious Ubiquitous, do you think that what I did, write a little bit about what I was thinking when writing my story and posting it in the review section with no star rating, and with no reference to how good my story was, could result in a negative backlash?

I haven't been here long enough to be able to tell you if reviewing ones own work is helpful or not, but I can tell you what I did. I wrote a review about a short story collection I've got a story in, but it wasn't a review. I just talked about what inspiration lay behind my story and left it at that. I didn't put a star rating on it, because even though I feel my work and the collection it is in deserves a whole lot of stars, I felt a little funny about putting them there myself. I still don't know if writing this is helpful or not, but I think I may continue to do it anyway because it is one way to talk to potential readers.

Thanks for an informative blog post. I've read your blog before and I think I always learn something from it, so yes it is helpful.

I try to write something everyday, but I rarely get 8 hours straight. That would be great. Robert, dividing the time 3/3/2 seems like a very good plan.
