I try to make a powerful description of the story with the title, and the cover is supposed to complete that description and hopefully create an interesting invite to the reader.
Patience is the most difficult part of my process. As much as I want to just splash all my creative stories onto a page in seconds, it takes time for me to be able to stitch it together. At times, I can also be my own worst critic, which can also take time to finish a piece.
I just kept thinking of an original idea and it nagged me until I put it on paper. It feels like an accomplishment and a relief to the brain, lol. Now the brain can nag me about another one!
