I Don't Do Pink Polka Dots

Happy Tuesday Folks,

Those of us who have been through the wedding planning process know how weird things can get. The dreams, the anxiety. Do these things ever make into novels?

I suppose even Paranormal has it's paranormal limits. I mean I had a dream that the sleeve of my wedding dress was torn a few months before my wedding. That was a bit creepy. And why I was wearing my wedding dress just to walk around the house in my dream still escapes my comprehension.

Not to mention the fact that a friend of mine had a dream that her dress was like pink with purple polka dots or vice versa. She was not happy...but she was relieved that it was just a dream and not real. Although, I suggested maybe that would've been funny...she wasn't amused. Go figure...I found out later when I was a bride (11 months later) why those kinds of things are not amusing to brides.

So...I wonder...has anyone put those wedding dreams into a story? Because so far, in all the books I've read I've never seen it.

I wonder if those dreams would go into a horror novel or if that would fit paranormal?

Your thoughts?

By the way, I'm happy to report that my dress had no tears in it on my wedding day and my wedding day was wonderful and I was married to my wonderful husband looking like a princess, just as I meant to. This May 8th will mark 6 years of me being married to the love of my life and as far as I know my wedding dress still doesn't have any rips in it. :-)

Have A Thrilling Tuesday!

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...
