Fiverr is the worst! follow-up and impending ACX

So, I ended up having to ask for a refund on that cover on Fiverr. The thing that seemed really stupid to me is that Fiverr apparently charges a dollar to upload funds to their site. I told them that it was dumb and they refunded me my dollar along with referencing their Terms of Service (Which means almost nothing FYI).

The first time that I used their site to get a cover made for Nanowrimo 2014 there was no charge like that. About a year later, I paid someone for editing services and there was a fifty cent charge and now it's apparently up to a dollar.

Whatever.

I ended up giving them that dollar back though. I really wanted a cover for the novelette that I'm trying to release. So I bought another gig, received that product, and asked for a single revision. I feel bad asking for revisions at all given my previous experience and the fact that I'm only paying these people five dollars.

I think that I'm going to purchase a ten dollar gig next time. I found someone who provides the source file with the ten dollar gig. I'm not totally sure what that means but it seems like a good thing.

I will update here when I get an official cover.

I haven't posted in over a week because my life has been thrown for a bit of a loop, in a good way, but I'm just trying to adjust.

Meanwhile, I approved the audio book version of  Played by the Pumpkin Spice Man. I'll post when it's available and describe how that process worked. I'll also let you know if I make any money on that front.

Okay. Thanks for reading.
