Words… words… words?

You'll often find me with my eyes closed, head tilted up as if listening to the heavens, just waiting for the right word to drop out of the air so that I can push it into the right spot in the sentence I'm writing.

Embarrassed, abashed, flustered, ashamed, disconcerted - they all mean approximately the same thing, but look at these sentences:

Jon was embarrassed about his feelings for Tom - this brings to mind a bit of toe shuffling, pink-cheeked kind of behaviour from Jon. Approximately the same with flustered, or abashed.

Jon was ashamed of his feelings for Tom - now we have a bit of inner conflict and, unlike embarrassed, the word really makes it seem like a negative thing, no?

Jon was disconcerted by his feelings for Tom - this one has Jon running through a checklist of probably causes in his head and coming up empty.  Or doing a slow mental double-take.

Words. I love words.

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
