Plans, News, Et Cetera

Happy Thursday Everyone,

Today I'm spending time with my parents (they don't live far from me) and so that will be fun. My son likes seeing them and so do I.

I did some editing last night and for some reason the early chapters are reasonably easy to edit, which is good. It means things get done a bit faster, more smoothly and I am in a good place mentally. Always nice when writing and editing.

I also am delighted to say I've got 3 authors lined up for email interviews. One interview is a wife-and-husband team (yes, both wife and husband are writers, so 2 authors in one interview) and they already have the questions, the other one is someone I've heard speak on writing and brainstorming and good. I'm sending that other author the questions by Friday, already have most of them written, so I'm happy.

The Lone Star Contest is definitely in full swing, at least as far as I've heard. There's STILL time to get the early-entry discount (May 23rd ends the discount, but you enter all the way until June 6, 2010). So, even if you don't get the early-entry discount, you still have until June 6th to enter the Lone Star. Please click here for details.

Also, I recently have looked at the Silk And Shadows blog...it looks really good. If you're into Paranormal I recommend having a peek.

So what's your news?

Have A Talented Thursday!

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&
