0 Distracted Much? (An IWSG Post)

It's the first Wednesday of the month (it is, right?) which means it's time for another installment of Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group (click on the graphic to find more information and a complete list of participants).

I'm pretty sure everyone stopping by today will be familiar with the IWSG, but in case you're not, here's its purpose:

To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

And who couldn't use that, right?

So today I'm a little late getting my post up and out into the world.  Last night I couldn't think of a topic that didn't make me sound like a broken record and was half heartedly considering skipping this month's post all together but then this morning, I checked my email and found attached to one message a sneak preview of Effigy's cover art.

That's right.  Effigy has cover art.  My book has cover art.  My book has cover art.  That doesn't involve stick figures.

Please note: this is NOT the cover art...

And holy hell, I can't stop looking at it.

I'm pretty sure this means I shall accomplish nothing the rest of the day that doesn't involve staring at my cover art and talking to it in a high pitched voice that suggests maybe I need to lay off the nitrous oxide. 

Who's a pretty book cover?  You're a pretty book cover!

Unless that's super weird.  Then I won't be doing that.  Again.

Rusty Webb, you genius, we here at My Pet Blog salute you.  Or at least we would if we weren't so busy staring lovingly at our new cover art.

But at some point, I really will need to stop gazing adoringly at this beautiful, beautiful thing because I really do need to get that back-of-the-book blurb done because now there's an actual back of the book waiting for a blurb.

Such a great problem to have.

Happy writing, all!
