Years ago, I wrote a story for a contest called "Friends In Paradise," and it wasn't until this past month that someone mentioned what a terrible title that is. I was unable to come up with something better in 2011, and you know, that's how it'll have to stay for today.
But I didn't ever publish it in text form (at least not that I have a cover for), so when I got it out and dusted it off to include in my collection "Female Protagonist," I started thinking about what I would want as a cover for it.
Basically, a little girl smiling at or playing with a bunch of bugs, preferably on a Hawaiian beach. And the program gave me images like this one:
There was a more horrible one it gave me, but I'll save it for a night when I'd rather not get any sleep.

| I like this one: the girl is prettier than necessary, but the wasps look like wasps, she looks happy . . . except for what is she holding? |
Anyway, after a lot of tug o'war, I got a cover that I liked, and Big made it look professional(ish).
If you haven't read the story, grab it RIGHT HERE. Bzzzzz.
