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!

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

By
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...
