When Life Interferes

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.

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&
