		<description><![CDATA[Just when I&#8217;m wrestling with a question, the answer presents itself in the Internet before I really begin searching. I have books about query letters. I have clippings and other odd bits of bookmarks tagged for research, study, and deliberation.  That doesn&#8217;t mean that I know what I&#8217;m doing, however. I love days like this.

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s my excuse and I&#8217;m sticking to it. Some batteries just need a quick charge and they&#8217;re good for a few hours. Some batteries you need to charge overnight and they still drain quickly. With writers, the batteries need a variable charge at a constant rate, otherwise output suffers and performance is unpredictable.  This is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjpontz.com&amp;blog=9550346&amp;post=43&amp;subd=pencilplace&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[let's face it, the urban fiction angles have been about played out haven't they?  Why not think about your vampire story as set on a space station or planetary outpost.  Or better yet, how would Neanderthal tribes have dealt with vampires?  Would they have figured it out or would they just be free food? <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjpontz.com&amp;blog=9550346&amp;post=39&amp;subd=pencilplace&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve always been glad that I have never had that tendency. I dream often, vividly, in color, and I remember my dreams. Today it paid off. I dreamed up a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjpontz.com&amp;blog=9550346&amp;post=37&amp;subd=pencilplace&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I knew I would need to find more outlets for my eBook.&#160; I knew this would mean reformatting to meet the various requirements of the proprietary eBook vendors (Kindle, Sony, PDF, and etc.).&#160; When I found Smashwords&#160;it seemed like a quick fix for all of that. &#160; I&#39;ve hit some snags, but they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjpontz.com&amp;blog=9550346&amp;post=10&amp;subd=pencilplace&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

For book publishing, not so much. Let&#39;s assume we&#39;re trying to publish the same 6&#34;x9&#34;, 250 pages, black [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjpontz.com&amp;blog=9550346&amp;post=11&amp;subd=pencilplace&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
