Possibly because we’ve been doing God’s work here lo these many years, there aren’t as many bad covers out there — or at least, there aren’t as many that, like low-hanging fruit, are as easily collected. You may have been noticing a growing number of covers from Smashwords; that’s because Smashwords allows me to sort by “most recent,” rather than by any popularity metric, and thus find the bad covers without having to wade through all the stuff that normal people understandably gravitate toward.
That means, however, that I have to spend more and more hours to fill the hopper each week.
So instead of increasing that time allotment, I’m going to go on a more reduced publishing schedule: What I find is what I post. I’ll make sure there’s at least one cover per day, but pickings might be slim after that.
Now I know what the Old West sheriff feels like after he “sure cleans up that town” and has to resort to nabbing jaywalkers to make himself feel useful.
Somehow, I doubt the field’s that bare. However, considering that each page on this site can only hold five posts at a time, I think we all might appreciate an easier pace of posting here.
Quality (or lack thereof) over quantity.
I’m happy to submit ‘em as I find ‘em. I would send in more but so many lousy covers are lousy in the same old boring ways we’ve seen before. I’m fine with a more limited roster of only “special” lousy covers.
Damn, this is a bear! Not sure I can live without my daily dose of LBC.
Relax, there will at least be a daily dose; it just may not be a thrice-daily dose.
Yes, dear boy, I can actually read. (ahem).
You’ll just have longer to appreciate each individual cover for the triumph of lousiness that it is.
What you have posted here has amused me over the years. thanks for all you do.
