So It's Wednesday

Good Morning All!

It's Wednesday, which means the week is half over. Yesterday was interesting. My husband had off, but I didn't see him much during the day because he and my son went out to the Arboretum to have some guy time. I saw them around 3 p.m. (they left around noon). After that, took a shower, and off we went to one of the Libraries. Then to the grocery store, and home again for dinner and to sit down and watch "Wolverine And The X-Men" (the cartoon). My husband and I are both "X-Men" fans. Wolverine has made it on my husband's list of "scoundrels" (included on that is Han Solo, Duncan McLeod--"Highlander TV Show", Indiana Jones and I think a couple of others).

Today my husband is back at work, so my son and I have to entertain ourselves. LOL. It's also exercise day, so I'll have to turn on my exercise DVD and workout. (uncoordinated and all!)

Yesterday I managed to do some editing on the first chapter of Conjure A Man; so that's a good thing. (I don't know how strong a chapter it is, but I think it's fun because it's got Delaney's best friend, vampire Caruso in it). It's about 13 pages long. I also did a little writing, but I think I have to change it. But that's part of writing--writing, rewriting, writing, rewriting, etc...,

I had a weird dream. I dreamt that people who were hungry for or craved spaghetti meant that that person had Swine Flu (even if the person who ate it didn't have Swine Flu people would think they did). Very odd. But dreams can be that way. What's a weird dream you've had?

I hope everyone has a good day!

Have a Wacky Wednesday!

HA! Spaghetti. I'll try to stay away from the stuff just in case you're psychic.

Glad you're getting some writing done even on a day when your hubby is around. I don't know if I could have done that. I would have been tempted to go to the arboretum.

Stephanie,

There was no temptation at all to accompany them. It was 95 degrees out and I'm sensitive to the heat (very much so. One time I got so dizzy after just being out for like 5 minutes). I also get cold easily (I know, Texas is the wrong state to be temperature sensitive, but it's home).

Now, if they were going to the bookstore (Barnes & Noble) then I would've been more tempted. Bookstores are my "toy stores".

I was being held hostage and was shot in a dream once. When I heard the gun fire, I woke feeling like I ran a race. It was frightening...So real...

J.J.--

That does sound scary/spooky. Glad it wasn't real! Sounds like you could turn that into a suspense/thriller novel if you wanted to.

It's Worth A Fortune

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

By
Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
