I really like Smashwords for purely eBook production. I don’t think there’s a paperback printer that really gives the author a good deal unless you’re buying thousands or something.

I would have to encourage you to just do your research, check their web sites, and search for critiques or reviews of their services to be sure you’re comfortable with your choice.

]]> Comment on The verb I don’t use by T J Pontious http://tjpontz.com/2010/02/25/the-verb-i-dont-use/#comment-24 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:24:49 +0000 http://tjpontz.com/?p=70#comment-24 The other point to make is that using “said” as a natural part of the dialog is perfectly fine. I was talking with Jenny after the show, and she said that the lighting technician was goofing off with laser lights between sets to the point where the band was distracted! It must have been hilarious!

Clearly a case where replied, retorted, et al just do not apply.

I completely agree with this. I have been trying to figure out what was needed to spice up my dialog between characters and once again, your insight has widened mine.

Cheers!

T J,
Looks like I got more than enough material to sink my eyes into! Saying I am eager is an understatement; being able to throw my fertile mind at some creative literature is something that I rarely have the opportunity to do… :)

By fertile I mean, young and inexperienced. Many a time has gone by where I wanted to write a very inspirational piece. Never have I finished one however due to my uncomforatable writers block, but you have helped remove that somewhat and for that I thank you!

I will be bouncing an email to you in the next day or so with a summary of a story and a general plot, also, I am going to look at thereadingdesk.com and see what it has to offer.

With best regards,
TPR

As far as collaboration, I’m not in a real ‘fiction mode’ at the moment, but I’ll leave that door open a crack for whatever lies down the road. I have updated this page to include links to some of my unpublished stuff. That should keep you out of mischief for awhile, but your results may vary. My main project for now is over on thereadingdesk.com, which should occupy me fairly solid for the next few weeks. That’s one reason why my posts here are fairly sparse over the past couple of months. If you’d like to bounce some emails around, I’m up for it. I will certainly review anything you’re cooking up, and throw in my thoughts as well.

It was a very pleasent surprise to see you being in the same field that I am am interested in. I would love to collab a short story! Maybe bounce a few emails back and forth or something?
