My inner perfectionist always has a hard time settling on a font, too, so I know how frustrating that can be. Best of luck finding one that works with your cover!Heather R.

I much prefer writing dark, violent/action scenes, but I am determined to push myself in my current WIP and write some romance scenes too. I feel like your post summed up what it's like to be a writer - everything takes approx 100 years longer than it should! Don't worry, you'll find something you love soon :).
