Biography

I'm just your average writer trying to make it by, I don't really take things that personally.

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I write short stories. For my short stories, I usually sit down and write in a day; everything, or I spread it out in parts over a couple of days. There's no point outputting that much and stressing your self; the quality of work suffers if you don't give developmental time to hash things out. After the story's done, I turn to editing and proofreading, and let me tell you, they are integral to writing just as breathing is to living. I look for mistyped words, words out of order, misspelling, and grammar structuring. When all is settled and done, it's set for publishing.
What are your favorite books?
That's easy. Animal Farm by George Orwell and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I have a soft spot for talking animals in stories. I like Animal Farm because it deals with perilous political change within a farm, and I like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for its witty characters, content, and writing style.

Smashwords book reviews by Neil Smith

  • Point of Origin on Feb. 08, 2017

    I liked it. I kinda felt it was leading into more. You have great description even in the small.
  • The Bergmann Protocol on Feb. 10, 2017

    A chunky piece of writing, I liked it. I liked that it had an ending. If there was one line that needed editing, it would be: "For the first time since the crash, the captain aloud himself a slight smile." You probably meant to say "allowed" himself a slight smile. "For the first time since the crash, the captain allowed himself a slight smile." Grammarly speaking, you might want to lowercase the "Said"s' after character speaking. it's a personal choice if you want to capitalize after speaking: "I know this sentence." said him I'm guilty of releasing with incorrections, it's okay. We don't have editors. Keep writing. I was able to understand the science fiction. I enjoyed that I "got it", and was able to follow along with the time travel-verse.
  • Time of Extinction on Feb. 27, 2017

    Read it. Liked it. Really like the science fiction universe you've created. Would be cool if another alien race got involved or have the humans surprise fight back or be diplomatically engaging with the observant aliens to keep the story going.
  • Shattered on March 31, 2017

    Great writing. A nice value of suspense.
  • An Uninvited Guest on March 31, 2017

    I enjoyed the turnaround. It was a dash of wit.
  • Elimination Round on April 11, 2017

    Very cool. A ton of great reading on display. Maybe there could be a part two? It's that good.
  • Meet the Sasakis on May 07, 2017

    Quite humorous. Enjoyed it. I liked the nice character descriptions and the well-written fight scenes.
  • Saving Amy on June 02, 2017

    It was great fantasy that went by at a perfect pace. Would like to see a sequel.
  • Prestige on Aug. 13, 2017

    Wonderful science fiction action. I would recommend this.
  • Monstrous Planet on Aug. 13, 2017

    The survival adventure here is pristine and well rounded in detail. It doesn't fail to deliver.
  • Dead Archives on Aug. 13, 2017

    Lots and lots of description. It makes it nice for quick reading. I enjoyed the story and the tension that was created.
  • Colony Lines on Aug. 14, 2017

    A well-dialogued story that completes itself without any lingering.
  • F*ck Dolphins on Nov. 04, 2017

    If you're looking for an egomaniac with a superiority complex without seeking one out, then read this. It's written without holding back. I know some of the other opinions will disparage it or completely ignore it without leaving a review, but if you take it as outrageous nonsensical personal insight into one person's life, then you'll have a short roller coaster trip into fun time. You can also take it straight for what it is, and say it's crookedly bad; going on and on about how “smart” the writer is making themselves out to be and how you should follow their advisement for everything. It's for the reader to decide if this book is a tasty apple or a rotten one, really. I never felt like my time was wasted. You won't find anything else like it. I didn't have this problem, but there are a lot of modern references that an unaware reader will have to catch up on, especially for the internet things. Extra credit to the writer if this was actually plucked from podcasts, the adaptation was well done and made it seem like it belonged on text.
