Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Etc...,

Morning All,

Yesterday I didn't have time to blog because I had to head out of the house to get to my parents' house to go get my hair done. When we [my mom & I] got back my younger brother and his fiancee had arrived [they also brought their little dog with them] so my son and I stayed over there for several hours. When we got back I had to eat dinner, then we headed out for the rest of the evening. Didn't get back until after 10 p.m. I was pretty tired last night.

Today I'm planning on baking gingerbread (yum yum). Possibly do some muffins (although from a box, not from scratch. When I was at the grocery store I couldn't remember what I'd need for my from-scratch cinnamon muffins, so I bought box mixes).

Because the story from Friday didn't get further than Janice staring out the window at the snow I decided to nix that idea for now. Maybe I'll save it for the New Year.

I'm not sure what's on my plate for the rest of the week, but I think I'll let myself take some time off to spend with family and friends near me. (Maybe even get some writing in!)

But I do hope whatever holiday you're celebrating that you have a wonderful, safe and blessed one. Have a happy, safe and blessed New Year, as well, if I don't get on to post before then.

Have A Wonderful Week, Weekend & Happy Holidays!

It's Worth A Fortune

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

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

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...
