First Draft Promotion Extravaganza Day 9!

I've had a few ideas for book covers but never thought much about it because I assumed I'd never get to the point where I'd need one. But now I need one, so I tried going out today and taking a cover picture but long story short: it didn't work.

So I'm back to the proverbial drawing board. If you know anyone who's loves to draw and wants to draw testicles, let me know. They don't have to be my testicles. I doubt many readers will look at the cover and say, "Hey, wait a second, those don't look like Cyrus's testes."

I suppose I'd have to decide whether to include the scrotum in the drawing for realism, or somehow have the testicles out.


Ok, Official Working Title of the Day:

Mother's Milk


Self explanatory.

This one has spent a lot of time near the top of the list, but not necessarily at the very top. It's a clean, safe, honest fallback option. Straightforward. Short. And it kind-of applies to how I feel about the content of the book. 

One drawback is that there's a novel out there called Mother's Milk: A Novel.

But maybe the guy who wrote it included the ": A Novel" in case some asshole like me wanted to write a non-novel called Mother's Milk.
