Merry And Bright

Happy Monday All,

Traditionally speaking, Christmas goes on for 8-12 days (depending on which tradition you're looking at). As a Catholic, I get to enjoy the Christmas Season for more than one day...although, most things have gone back to normal on my end.

I hope you all had a great Christmas Day. Mine was very relaxing. We had gone to Mass the night before and so we enjoyed the morning opening family gifts and just hanging out. My husband and offspring got me a Barnes & Noble Nook and I'm looking forward to getting a couple of books on it. I also got the entire series by Shanna Swendson (Enchanted, Inc.; Once Upon Stilettos; Damsel Under Stress; Don't Hex With Texas) so I've been reading those and enjoying them all over again. My sister (I come from a large family and we get assigned names of a sibling or spouse --not our own spouse--to get Christmas gifts for) she got me one of the Shanna Swendson books and my mother and father got the other 2 for me. My sister also got me two books my Lynne Hinton (I haven't read her work before) called Friendship Cake and Christmas Cake. So I have a lot of reading to do!

I worked a little on one of my manuscripts that's in the process of being written, so that's good. Got some other ideas playing around in my head for it.

2011 is right around the corner and I can hardly believe it. Life seems to go faster when you're an adult. I remember when it seemed to take forever to get to Christmas, now it whizzes by.

So, how was your Christmas Eve/Day? Do you celebrate the Christmas Season for more than one day? Are you looking forward to 2011? What did you get for Christmas? Feel free to share in the comment section!

Hope you have a great week :-)

Have A Marvelously Merry Monday!

Is it still Christmas? It feels like it's over, sadly, especially since I have to go back to work tomorrow. :-(

Stephanie,

You've heard of the 12 days of Christmas right? There's definitely an octave of Christmas. So no, not quite over. Plus there's always New Year's. :-)

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...
