Description

Powers of Balance.

Not long ago, that was the name of a crappy little nanowrimo story that I basically disowned. But the title was great, so I took that with me.

Now it's going to be the name of a very important story for me, a story that has very little in common with the old Powers of Balance.

Some of you might have noticed that my spiral- my personal symbol, MY spiral -is right there in the center of the image. There is a reason for that; this story is different.
I wish to stress how much this story means to me compared to the others I have written or planned: if I could only write one story in my lifetime, only one story in my entire life, this would be the one.

And don't you worry about why that is.

It will probably be quite a bit of time before I can even think about starting this story. So much planning to do, so much to learn before I'll be good enough to really take this on. I HAVE to get this one right, at least right enough to perfect it in later revisions. This is not a just-for-fun story, which is why I have started planning it now, when I don't expect to begin writing it properly for a long time.

As for the image, the format of this design I've created here is meant to allow me to switch out that second line of text with whatever I want. This story would ideally have multiple books, each with their own subtitle there. Right now it says Encyclopedia of Meran because that's what I'm calling the collection of pseudo-articles I'm writing as a form of brainstorming.

If you want to see those, by the way, I'm keeping them in my scraps. They might be a bit dry, since I did more-or-less write them as if they were encyclopedia articles, but they'll at least give you some hints about the nature of this story. I'm not done with them either, there could be dozens or more by the time I'm finished. I haven't even begun to write about the characters, you know.
Also, any comments or thoughts you have on what I put there are great too. If anything isn't quite right, I need to fix it.

finally an image! something i can feel smart about ahaha
i feel like the second line looks too important when it is just a second line, and for an encyclopedia cover this looks great, but i think a story needs something with more too it.
i do however enjoy the play on words Balance of powers <--> powers of Balance
