I don't know, but it's a very nicely designed cover, even fonts are perfect.

so funny

So I have a problem with making my wording too sterile (at least I think I have that problem.) and by that I mean when I write I feel as if my writing is too dickless and devoid of any humanity.

This is evened out because my co-writer is really good at that kind of thing and he tends to inject what I feel is very necessary flowery language in.

This is so fucking hard to explain because I am not saying I want to pad the wordcount or make my story longer for no reason or whatever else, I am concerned my writing seems too robotic or cold, does anybody have suggestions for that kind of thing? Or am I just overthinking things?

Should I be taking the time to explain the surroundings of a scene perhaps, I could do that but sometimes it feels like it dips a little too far into me sneaking exposition in.

I could post a snip of some of my writing to give you and example if need be.

So imagine you have a simple plot where the protagonist sniffs out some kind of conspiracy and a deal into the story the conspirators basically just go "You could be a good asset" and attempt to recruit the protagonist.

Would it be contrived for the protagonist to hear the reasoning behind the conspirators and then decide he or she supports the conspired plot they're planning and join, and plot then unfolding from a new perspective as the protagonist now part of the conspirators.

This doesn't have to be limited to conspiracies of course this could be like, the protagonist switching sides in some conflict or something, assuming of course you set up the fact the protagonist would have no issues with "switching sides" like this would this be a no-no from a story-writing point of view? I feel as if it wouldn't but at the same time I'm basically asking "Why wouldn't you just have the protagonist start off as part of the conspiracy, why have him be tempted over." Can anybody think of established examples of his in novels or shortstories already? I guess Dune would be right?

Pic unrelated.
