Saturday In My World

Good Afternoon All,

Last night I took a trip into my female main character, Delaney's world. I'm doing some editing on the pages I already have written and contemplating what's happening next. Got to meet her family all over again (the patronizing cousin, the disapproving mother, the suspicious cousin-in-law, et cetera).

This morning I was doing some reading (The Host by Stephenie Meyer is quite long--over 1,000 pages and I have other books I need to read, too, so I'm multi-tasking). Sci-fi isn't my usual fare, but I was curious about the story. It's a little eerie contemplating the idea of an alien body taking over human bodies. Like I said, not things I normally read. But, not a bad idea to expand one's horizons.

I've also gotten started on reading Secret Life Of A Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks. I've just barely started it, but so far it's fun.

Anybody watching the new CW show, The Vampire Diaries based off of L.J. Smith's books? Sometimes that show gives me the shivers. LOL. I haven't read the books, so I don't know how closely the show is portraying the actual story. In any case, I bet it's exciting to see one's characters come alive.

So what are you plans today? Reading, writing, hanging out with family/friends? Relaxing? Catching up on movie watching?

Either way...

Have A Supremely Super Saturday!

I'm not much into vampires so I've read none of these! We had my boyfriend's daughter last night so now I'm recovering and resting!

I love a good vampire story but I haven't checked out that show yet even though I mean to.

Regina,

LOL I have trouble watching some parts of it. But I don't know...I guess I'm just interested in what angle the show takes.

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I&
