A Little Humor...

Happy Friday All,

I hope your week has been awesome. Yes, as I said, Jason and Laney (from my Immortal Dreams Trilogy) are still playing around in my head. "Awesome" is one of Jason's favorite words. If you asked him, he'd tell you HE'S awesome. And, in some ways, he was subconsciously modeled after my husband (I never intentionally model any of my characters after anyone I know). Here's proof (this is from a conversation we had a while back):

Me:  I think I subconsciously modeled Jason after you.

Husband (grinning): That's why he's such an awesome character.

Me (in a dry tone): I shouldn't have told you that the first time I told you.

Husband just continued to grin and laugh. Go figure, right?

But I can't deny my husband has some pretty awesome qualities. He's a really good Dad, and pretty considerate of me. He'll take the Offspring somewhere just so I can write. He goes on walks and things so I can nap (whenever he's got a day off from work). So let's say, yeah, he's pretty darn awesome. But he also has the poke-fun qualities Jason possesses. So, yeah, in some ways, Jason is a bit like my Husband. Main differences? Husband is not an Immortal, and he's not considered 18 (he's actually quite a bit older than that, but I'm younger than him--HA!) Yes, we have a very playful marriage, and I guess that playfulness seeped into my novels. Not that I mind. I love incorporating humor into my work. It makes it more fun.

What sort of things do you like to find in novels?

Have A Fabulously Fun Friday!

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...
