Conference Time!

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

There's a lot of people gearing up for Conferences. Romance Writers Of America (RWA)--the writers' group I'm a member of, is hosting it's annual conference in New York City this year. Unfortunately, I will have to miss it, but I know several people from my chapter are going, many of the authors I've mentioned here (I don't know all who are going, I don't have the final count, but several of them are).

My friend and fabulous author, Jane Heller was talking about on her blog, Mainly Jane about a conference she's attending, the Santa Barbara Writers Conference.

In the Fall, I plan to attend the annual NWHRWA Lone Star Conference (October 15, 2011).

So are you attending a writer's conference? If so, which one?

No writer's conference but a quick trip to North Carolina has turned into a real family reunion with a two coming in from other states to see me and my sister (and her daughter).One, I have never met in person; the others, we have not seen in many many years...(longer than you have been on Earth, Bethany!)Our last aunt will be there.Then , we will visit our cousin from my mother's side.We were close as kids, but we have not seen her in a long time.I only know her husband and children from phone conversations. So if you don't hear from me until next week, you'll know why...I have a good reason.
"See" you when I get back!

Tonette,

I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. I used to love family reunions. When I was a kid, we'd go up north (to Michigan) every year and hang out with both sides of the family. One of my Dad's sisters (and her husband) own a lake house that used to belong to my grandfather so they'd host family get-togethers, buffet-style dinners and swimming and boat rides out there (still do it, but we don't get up there every year).

Hey now, I haven't given my actual age on here, and I'm not sure I told you what my age is so don't go assuming LOL

Perhaps in the Fall you can come on down for the Lone Star Conference, that would be cool. We always have a blast. Thank you for dropping by and have a safe and good trip :-)

I'm attending both the National RWA conference and the NWHRWA Lone Star Conference and plan to host the Wine, Cheese and Chocolate party at each of them. So look for me around the conference and I'll give you the details

Wish I was going to Nationals, but it just didn't pan out this year. Looking forward to the Lone Star Conference in Oct! :)

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...

It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire. You don't know Kerrelyn Spa...
