Guess What!

Happy Friday All,

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. At night I've been going to bed instead of posting. Last night I had some sort of allergy reaction to something (not sure WHAT triggered it, yet) and I had shortness of breath. I'm doing better today (thank you humidifier and Tylenol--and a very helpful doc whom was on call last night and called me back almost right away--I love my doctors' office, they are so awesome and I am NOT a fan of going to the doctor).

Anyway, it looks like next week (unless I'm told otherwise) will be the next Write By Bethany giveaway event. Yep, this is a big event...this time I'm giving away jewelry, made by someone I know (who I'll reveal her name and company next week--but it's really awesome and beautiful work).

Yours truly (meaning me) is sponsoring a necklace and earrings set representative of something one of my heroes would give one of my heroines. No, I'm not published yet, but this is how much I love this person's work, that I'm willing to sponsor a piece to giveaway. I've got some published authors who are sponsoring pieces and I'll be featuring a different one each day (I'll reveal which authors on their giveaway day).

This is quality jewelry, folks. It's all made by hand. This person puts in their love, time, and talent into each piece and it shows by how lovely it is. One most awesome thing about having this next week is that it's just before Mothers' Day, which is on May 8th (my wedding anniversary!)

Anyway, so far the plan is to have this give away next week. I'll be giving more details then.

For now, have a great weekend and...

Have A Fantastical Friday!

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...
