Saturday In My World

Image
By
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.

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...
