Plan For The Lone Star State October 2013!

Happy Tuesday All,

It's voting day here in the US of A, so all of those who are eligible have a civic duty to exercise our right to vote. Which, is something I will (or depending on when you, my readers read this post and when I get to my designated voting area) or have done.

Today Laura Childs' Stake & Eggs is released, which I reviewed yesterday.

This past NWHRWA meeting I've learned some pretty awesome things about next year's Lone Star Conference. We are fortunate to be able to have Donald Maass of the Donald Maass Literary Agency come and be our keynote speaker. We're also going to have an agent from Larsen Pomada Literary Agents, and Marisal Lyon Literary Agency and who knows what other awesome things will be in store by the time the date of the conference rolls around. The date of the conference is on October 5, 2013--so you can start planning now.

It's apple cider season (Fall)! I've been enjoying the tasty treat. I'll be glad when it gets cooler/colder down here. I love colder weather--just not snow. I agree it's pretty at first, but then after awhile it fades. But I do like colder weather. I like warm, cozy blankets, hot tea, warm clothes, and pants. Plus the Fall Holidays are awesome.

What's your favorite thing about Fall?

Have A Thrill-Filled Tuesday!

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&
