Wild Summer!

Happy Tuesday All,

Well, I know it's been a long time since I posted. There's some good reasons for that:

1. Working on Lone Star Contest

2.  My younger brother's wedding (was June 19th and the week before had family get togethers)

3. Working on Lone Star Contest some more

My younger brother (the "baby" of the family) is now a married man. It's hard to believe, but it's true. I like the woman he married, she's very nice and is very good for him. The wedding was lovely and I cried in my brother's hotel room the night before. The best man was kind enough to give me tissues LOL. My brother gave me a big hug before I left for my own hotel room.

The trip was awesome, I was in Seguine/San Antonio for the week and saw several family members and friends that I hadn't seen in awhile (a bunch of them I hadn't seen in over a year!)

Myself and 2 of my sisters gave the The Princess Bride toast at the Rehearsal Dinner (Family tradition...we quote the "Impressive Bishop's" speech...if you don't know what I'm referring to, watch the movie...and even if you do know what I'm referring to, watch the movie again! LOL it's a good movie).

I'm back home, now, and helping out with the Lone Star Contest and getting settled back into my usual rountine. Some family is still in town so I visit with them a bit, as well.

What's your summer been like so far?

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...
