Concise Oxford Dictionary (1911 rev. 1929 corr. 1931)

Since the above is my reference, as a writer, does that mean I’m out of date? Using old words? Or, at least, old meanings? For instance, I’ve been wanting to use the word “sensible,” as in can be sensed, but I’m afraid of confusing people. Maybe I should just do the sensible thing and forget about it. But my Concise Oxford has “Perceptible by the senses” as its first definition of “sensible.” I guess I could go for it. But it’s a mistake to do anything that might cause your readers to stumble. That’s like Basic Writing Rules for Beginners, isn’t it?

This concludes the work on Sunward and the whole Plainsrunner trilogy. I’m fully immersed in the next novel now. Whether it will be singular or part of a series is something we will all find out later. For now, I’m just writing.

I can see from the resounding silence that no one cares for the cityscape images as potential book covers. It looks like I’ll be going with Dead End City for now. Thank you for your participation.

Above is the original image that is the basis for the street scene image I’m favouring for the cover on my current work-in-progress novel. Below are four candidates based on cityscape images. Please let me know which of the four you prefer. Please also consider whether it might replace the street scene.

I’m still thinking of a man in a city at night.

Thank you for your help.
