When Life Interferes

Image
By
Afternoon Everyone,

Well, it seems my son is suffering from the same congestion I have. It's miserable for everyone involved. Hard to sleep when that's going on. Luckily he took a nap, but he's still unhappy (which I can understand).

So what happens when life interferes with your writing? What then?

Well, I haven't really been doing much writing (other than the blog), but at least I've been reading up a storm, which keeps ideas going through my head.

Bottom line...you have to find a balance and do the best you can. Put in the time you can. Hopefully you can make up the time you miss.

Keep the ideas alive. Make sure you're not running into the proverbial brick wall.

In any case, best wishes to all!

Have A Wonderful Wednesday!

I hope he feels better! If I'm reading, I'm not writing and vice versa. We only have so many hours in the day!

You're right - balance is key. Sounds like your son needs you - you're doing what you need to. Enjoy your reading time! :)

Marsha,

We're working on getting my son to feeling better. He has medication--he's got a sinus infection and we're trying to keep him as comfortable as possible.

Shannon,

Thank you. My son has a sinus infection and we got his perscription yesterday and he started on it last night. He slept better with the meds and the motrin for the fever/pain.

Emma,

Thank you very much! We're trying to feel & get better. Slow going, but at least it's not as bad as some people who are ill. I try to keep perspective.

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...
