the value of iteration

I occasionally talk about the value of iterations, of improving a little with every attempt, and I thought I would share a concrete example.

GHOST ARIA was the first short story I wrote to give away for free to my newsletter, and I’ve redesigned the cover six times. There’s not much difference between, say, the 2012 version and the 2014 version, but there is a big difference between the 2012 version and the 2020 version. A little progress definitely adds up over the long term!
