Head Spinning

Hello Everyone,

No, this isn't some take-off on The Exorcist, rather, this is me going "Yikes! I can't even be away from email for ONE day?"

I had 28 emails in one email account. This includes junk mail. After I deleted the stuff I didn't need, it took time to answer a family email, then email back and forth with a friend about her Baby Shower this Saturday (that I was going to email the hostess about today), then I had to email the hostess of the shower to RSVP.

Then I went to my writing email account. 12 emails, most of it spam, so I deleted the spam took a look at the ones that WEREN'T spam and then came here.

You can't take a day off from email people, it doesn't work LOL. But it's okay. I don't mind really, I just was a bit surprised (even if most of it was junk).

Today is my son's birthday, so I sang Happy Birthday to him and hoping his present is here (gotta check the mailbox). He took it with good humor, but acted a bit embarrassed. It was funny.

Yesterday I was reading the 4th Jennifer Scales Novel called Seraph Of Sorrow. It was interesting and definitely has a good lead in for another book (not yet out) so I'm curious to see what's going to happen next. Just when I think I have a handle on what's going on with all the arachnids, dragons and beaststalkers something else happens and I have to rethink what I thought. But that's a mark of a good series...when it catches you off guard.

This Saturday is a chapter meeting of RWA. Because of all the things I have going on, I have to leave early, but I'm glad I'll get to get out and see everyone and hear the updates on the business side of the meeting, but I have to leave before the guest speaker because I have 2 other things that day, so it's a crazy day. But I'm thinking it will be a good day.

Anyway, what's going on in your world? Is it as crazy as my world?

Have A Thrilling Tuesday!

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...
