Compressed lips for maximum impact

To wield words as pixel brushstrokes to lash meaning, feeling, pulse. There is some wild satisfaction in that plus added convenience of touch (plus) speed (minus) carpal pain of dragging sore wrist through scratchy scraggy lead and pulp and mixed fibrous mesh.

Fine balance sobre finer bounds.

Needle-sewn lips.

Up, down, up. Zig zagging through. Like the pain of swallowing nettles, once I get through it's through.

WoT covers that aren't actually hideous??!?

Not saying that these agree spot-on with how I visualize the characters or manage to avoid the cheese factor altogether, but they at least marginally depict scenes that really even happens in the books. Versus, you know, depicting completely made up crap that doubles as a deterrent for potential new readers and a major embarrassment factor for actual readers. Too bad they will likely be limited to ebooks forevar.

Combined with the attractor of not having to carry around 5-pound bricks, I think it's officially time to give these a reread again. E-readers are a godsend tailored specifically for WoT.

Most inspiring ever. Will post endproduct(s) once I gain the urge to edit.
