Wasn't very happy with a lot of the work posted last thread: a lot of menial exaggerated and purple prose. Meanwhile I've just finished the first draft of my novel and I'm wondering if anyone has input before I start sending to publishers.

Great cover!

Can I make a suggestion? The font you used for the title and your "written by..." part doesn't quite fit. The rest of the cover is awesome, how do you plan to do the spine and the back?

Change the font and I think you have a winner!

We need to make our own culture since the current culture is too manufactured and fake to be real

Unfortunately I think a lot of people are going to feel that way when the quality of living continues to plummet.

What happens when the police no longer want to work at all?

People keep telling me they want a copy, I just can't deliver it yet because I'm still waiting on the glue, and I need to practice a bit more to get the process just right and the quality consistent enough.

Here's the one I made myself, I still have to tweak it a little bit to make it fit juuuuust right.

I guarantee you have never self-expressed.

My character is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek hero. I'd say the best way to write about how insane modern life has become is to make a somewhat-believable parody of real life. That's kind of what I've done, and I'm taking it to another level with my 3rd book. Homeless crackhead tribal drugmaxxers building coyote-powered chariots made from repurposed dumpsters and welded together bicycle wheels. In a distant mad-max like Vancouver, it could be possible...

Mild-mannered, blue pilled cuck gets his bike stolen. Tries to move on in life. He goes through a series of unfortunate events and decides enough is enough. He strikes back against the bike thieves while recording it on his phone and uploads the video. His actions kick off a series of copycats and he soon finds himself caught up in a web of blackmail and a national terrorist hunt.

I'm super fucking happy that I control the whole process. I still have to learn to use the hot glue perfect binder machine better, the fucking thing is a little clunky.
