And your attitude is just great - in that you wanted to talk about your writing and came up with your own author interview. It was lovely knowing more about you, and I'm so glad that Smashwords etc is bringing you so much pleasure! Your writing process is also an inspiration. :-)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-56578782393493226262013-09-17T07:34:24.016-04:002013-09-17T07:34:24.016-04:00Interesting.

It gets you to more vendors than just the mighty zon. and yeah, interviews...<br /><br />Maria -- Without a doubt Amazon sends me more money, but I like the idea of being everywhere. I'm not crazy about Select or its limitations of 90 days. And Smaswords allows us to give pre-orders and free all the time. It may not be the biggest book retailer but it's getting better all the time.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-53471849841334519632013-09-16T11:10:44.737-04:002013-09-16T11:10:44.737-04:00Smashwords is okay, but Amazon sends me more money...Smashwords is okay, but Amazon sends me more money. :)Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-72727688300584915832013-09-16T10:04:56.357-04:002013-09-16T10:04:56.357-04:00It's nice to see someone praise Smashwords for...It's nice to see someone praise Smashwords for a change. If I go the self-pub route (and that may happen more likely than not), it's who I plan on using. I want my book to show up everywhere it possibly can!<br /><br />Cool stuff about the interviews, too.

This is more like a general overview. They have basic questions you can answer and they allow you to write your own so it's pretty nifty. <br /><br />With the new volunteer job I'm in for school, my days got cut from 5 to 2, so I'm having to rearrange that schedule. A lot. So, thinking Richard's story is going to be out by Thanksgiving is a long shot.

Loading directly, you have to own a Mac (which I don't and can't afford).<br /><br />I kind of like the idea of interviewing myself. So many book bloggers have asked me weird questions that don't tell you much about me or my work; it would be nice to have some control over what's asked. <br /><br />Like you, I don't read as much in the genre I'm writing like I did before I published. At this point I do actually worry I'll be influenced by others' style. Before I was more concerned with learning what's out there. Interesting! <br /><br />And it was fun to get to know you better! I wish I had as many hours a day to write as you do. You're very lucky!Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-61780765476004859102013-09-16T06:57:32.877-04:002013-09-16T06:57:32.877-04:00I avoided SW because of the meat grinder...I wante...I avoided SW because of the meat grinder...I wanted control over how my MS looked...but will probably try it out just to get to control the giveaway of my work...oh the ironyAuthor R.
