Without being able to look at specific examples, I'm not sure. I do think D2D's print books are somewhat more expensive than Amazon's just because Amazon does more volume over all. I think the time is about the same as far as when you get your books. The quality is about the same.

FWIW I've had good results with Draft2Digital/Books2Read, which supports alternative formats.

I hate to listen to his whiny voice, but it can be entertaining to look at the faces of people behind him while he talks.

Tell the kitty it can be the star of the book if it lets go your hand?

Yes! In fact, I started writing for children. What you read influences what you write, and I was reading a lot of children's books.
Plus, for the tired among us, children's lit is generally very short. You can do a four-line poem during naps.
You can do a four-line poem ABOUT naps!

Well the "deport a million" isn't exactly working out, so they have to try another way.

I can't seem to sign up for the sale through Smashwords' site. Any suggestions? #fantasywuthor

Tucker Carlson should write a book about him.

I keep them all, because I might switch back to an older plot event, and there's no reason to re-write it when I can copy and paste from the earlier draft.
I number them sequentially, ie: "storyname_1," and that way they are sequential when I look at the file directory.

I would write on my WIP.

I'm so sorry you got dunked on. 💔 That "talk" is bull. Writing is full of gate keepers and know-it-alls. There's nothing worse than a self-proclaimed expert.
Don't listen to it. Nobody knows how to write your story but you. Taking a break is fine (even to text rp) but don't let them kill your joy.

Tough choice between B and C. Bronwyn Hawke felt it harder but Taliset Trevelyan had more opportunities in-game.

I would love the glitter to make my students a glitter bottle!

A - I went to change clothes when there was a significant plot development (if in romance, or about to go to major battle). I also like to go up there at the end of sessions, figuring my Inquisitor would be unwinding between emergencies.

I wrote a YA duology (Cleodora) with no kings/queens, knights OR police. Money existed but was highly suspect. It was a fun exercise and I still use some elements in other projects.

Yes, both. The only time I didn't was when I was trying to be an evil warden so I left them both to the darkspawn.
(I didn't finish that run.)

Yes! To an extent, I expect my readers to keep up with me.

Yes, that's been a regular protest I do, 3 to 5 pm on Saturdays. It got thin after Hands Off in April but I hope it jumps up again now.

I made sure to grab flyers and cards from all the candidates who showed up in person. Fall will come up on us before we know it.

Friends I am uncomfortable with this thread. We're tar and feathering someone on the Internet. Please stop and wait for the investigation.

No guide, I'm probably doing everything wrong! I cut the sprigs and took off the best leaves, put them to dry in a sieve and every so often fluff them. When they are completely dry, I will measure them and keep in a bag. Should get a couple of cuttings before fall. Doing similar with rose petals.

I always grow mint but this year I am trying to make tea with it. Something new to try.

Hi, native Angelino here. The geography is not in favor of an armed occupation. Yes, there are major highways, but the population itself is incredibly dispersed. There are ranges of hills across the county. You can't "hold high ground" in LA without major damage to very expensive real estate.
