Cheap Book Self-Publishing: Wordclay

I know that I and many of you have always wanted to publish your thoughts in a book, for the entire world to read. Now you can do just that with Wordclay, for under $20.00.
So the story goes like this: I was really excited about a book idea I had and googled "free online self-publishing". I came up with a few sites and went to take a look at them. I obviously didn't find one that was free but did find Wordclay, the cheapest solution.
Then I decided I would really dig into this site. Well first of all, Wordclay's design looked highly professional and contained no coding errors. This is one of the first things I will do to evaluate a site and is one of the most reliable factors. As well, there was even a live chat service (yes, it was human) that answered several of my questions.
Next, I was quite doubtful but so I glanced at the the "How It Works" section and was really enlightened on how simple the process was. All I had to do was select a few size and type aspects, upload a text file, make a cover, select a price and enter a bit of marketing information and my book would be done.
But I was still quite curious so I went to the "Service Store" tab and found that Wordclay provided a quick and easy pathway to copyright registration, an ISBN number, professional editing, press releases and even marketing packs to really give your book a boost.
With all this I made an account and started creating a book. I am in the process of writing it right now but from the looks of it, I know Wordclay will make my book shine when it's ready.

New Innovation in Writing: The Papermate Syncro

These days with the ever-expanding horizon of technology, the petty little pencil has been forgotten. But here is one of the reasons to use that old pencil again. The Papermate Syncro.
I know it sounds kind of stupid for me to be raving on about a pencil but I'll show you how pencils are actually advancing just as much as computers.
To begin with, the Syncro has a comfortable grip with a clicker right on it to advance the graphite easily. As well, this pencil features a large eraser that fits right into the pencil and is twisted out. You may not be able to see it easily, but inside there is even a shock absorbing spring that makes writing a lot more comfortable. Finally, the sleek modern look of this mechanical pencil makes anybody look professional and trendy.
So for innovation in writing, try the Papermate Syncro, even though it may be a little yesterday.
