Super Hero Writer To The Rescue!

Happy Monday All,

Do you like super-heroes? I do. I've liked watching their shows and some of their movies. It's fun to imagine "what if" I could do that? Or what if I knew someone who could?

So, I propose we authors have a superhero of our own. But that super-hero needs a name, a costume and powers.

I'm thinking super-sonic editing skills (edit an entire book in 3 seconds flat! It's all set and ready to go out to agents and publishers, who adore it)

What about super-strength to break through writer's block?

You all tell me what powers, costume, and name a super hero writer would have. Cape or no cape?

I'm thinking the super hero should be able to fly to the rescue of authors everywhere.

Have A Marvelous Monday!

Captain Quill to the rescue with the power to defeat writer's block! By using his brute strength he can smash through the Writer's Block of Doom with ease! Can smash through blocks with his Quill of Justice in one swing.

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...
