About Me

On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

a community of writers. A way to connect with people from my past that isn't MySpace.

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

This is now the Book Section---Currently reading: The Abhorsen by Garth Nix, final in the trilogy and the A Handful of Men series by Dave Duncan. Finished Fitcher's Wives: very weird fairytale remake, didn't like the ending.
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

Oh, too many! See my favorite authors, and then take 98% + of their work., Jim Butcher, Jacqueline Carey, Tamora Pierce, Dawn Cook, Deborah Chester, Diana Gabaldon, Robin McKinley, Dave Duncan
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

New Releases: Knocked Up, Mr. Brooks, Stardust, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Becoming Jane, Dedication
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

Heroes, Firefly, The Office, Life, The Big Bang Theory, October Road, House, The Closer, Supernatural, My Name is Earl, Ugly Betty, Naruto: Shippuuden, and PBS/History Channel documentaries
Favorite Places:

This is now the Latest Movie section---Theater: Wall-E--Pixar's done it again! Despite the beepy dialogue some people found unappealing, I loved every moment of this movie. Rental: I'm Not There--not knowing much about Dylan's life, it was a little hard to follow, and a bit too metaphorical, but the Mr. Jones sequence and the acting were excellent!
Interests and Activities:

Reading, 'Riting, not 'Rithmatic. Drawing and Design. Making logos and book covers.
Wish List:

Wacom Cintiq, MacBook Pro with Adobe Creative Suite, a lightbox
Movies I am looking forward to:

Definitely Maybe, The Great Debators, Vantage Point, 21, Run Fat Boy Run, The Bank Job, Prince Caspian, Horton Hears a Who, Penelope, Leatherheads, Batman:The Dark Knight, Hancock, Kung Fu Panda, You Don't Mess With the Zohan, Rocker, Step Brothers, Swing Vote. Get Smart, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Enterprise

I've been stuck here for a bit too long, methinks, but hopefully I'll be back to creativity soonish, been doing some plan work with various peeps for ideas and the like, so that's helped buoy my creativeness above water...barely, hehe.
Good luck on it though, hope you made it, it's good money at least (that's what keeps me doing it :P )

Yoza! I know it's been a while...I've just been a corporate worker slaving away, trying to maintain some level of creative thought while it sucks my soul away...how's things been on your side?

Hi Krystal, thank you for the friendship. I was hoping to acquire valuable advice from you about this amazing site. I am impatient and should just read the available instructions, but my skills are limited when it comes to the maze. I have enjoyed your hooks and was jerked immediately into responsive quoting dredged from my quiet interior, which has not been so fun lately as it was this morning. I would like to participate and need a quick 1 2 3 of the skinny.
Thanks again,
Mary

Krystal,

I have heard good things about Lulu too. I use Xlibris, and am really pleased with them. It costs a whole $300 a book to publish with them (if you buy a 2-book pack), and their process drives out the typos and encourages you to do some editing. At 200 pages, the books cost about $10 each for me to buy + shipping.

If you want a lot of books printed (i.e. 100+) it is worth wrapping up your book in a .pdf and taking it to a digital printer who specialises in printing books. That should prove cheaper overall.

Tim.
