Chore Day, Sep 22, 2020: Laundry and Cover Page Revisited, Yet Again

I usually don’t work on my books on chore day, but this weekend I’m working on the cover page. My deadline for publication is the 30th and I’m pressed for time. This has been a hard page for me. I’ve spent almost two weeks on the title page image and this front/back cover page. I’m slow because I don’t know what I’m doing — I’m learning as I go, which is okay, but there are weeks when I take a detour to learn a basic skill. This is one of those weeks, and the basic skill is creating a composition that represents the central idea of the book.

Once I complete the cover image I have to write the back cover blurb.
