Hint, Hint, Hint

Happy Monday Folks,

I'm going to drop another hint or two about this year...

I got big plans for a contest to celebrate 25 plus followers on this blog. I can't give out much details at this point, but it would behoove you (another great word, "behoove") to check up here often...for I may be running the contest this week or next week or the week after or we'll-see-when (but it'll be soon)...you just never know. I'm "hammering" out the details at the moment. But trust me, when I say soon, I mean very soon.

I have a date set in February for an author interview (not telling who it is or when, you'll just have to come back and find out *grins*) This author wants to run a contest in conjunction with the interview, so the day of, you'll want to be on here to comment so you might be able to win the prize the author is offering.

I'm working on finishing up a book for a book review (can't tell you who or what, yet). And I was told by another author I should be receiving their book soon to review (can't tell you who or what on that one, yet, either). So I've got a lot of reading to do.

Today I want to kick off the week by talking about heroes. What's one of your favorite heroes (from a book you read) and why? What do you look for in a hero? (please say which book your hero comes from).

Make sure check back here often. As you can see, BIG plans are in process :-)

Have A Monumental Monday!

Forgot about my hero... duh!

My favorite heros are people/characters that are real. (They have faults, have struggles, have determination, and want to make a differance.) I can't say that I have one that rates higher than another. It's like saying which child do you love more? I love them all for different reasons...

I get what you're saying...every character is different.

Hope you're doing well and thank you for dropping by :-)

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&
