Monday, Monday, Monday

Morning Folks,

Well it's a little after 11 a.m. on Monday...not quite as catchy as the Billy Joel song, Piano Man; but more of the truth rather than Billy Joel's lyrics LOL. Just got finished instant messaging with my older brother. He lives on the East Coast. Very busy man, but one of the best brothers a girl could have. (Of course all my brothers are the best brothers a girl could have--this includes my brothers-in-law, of course).

Shoulder update: doing much better. Seems to be getting better every day. I'll continue to stretch it and move it around to loosen it up the rest of the way. I pulled my pelvis last night trying to get comfy in the bed. Fortunately it's much better. I'm thinking I need to get back to working with the exercise DVD.

Okay...those of you who are interested in Surreal based on Sunday's Post please send me your comments in an email.

Last night I did some work on Conjure A Man and it's coming along. Which, is nice since I have about 3 projects in the works.

I've got a companion novel to Conjure A Man started. It focuses on Delaney's best friend, Caruso Valetti (yes, the vampire). I've got some basic ideas going, but I'll probably have some major changes to work on once Conjure A Man is finished. So, this one's on hold for a bit.



Hope Everyone Has A Marvelous Monday!

Glad your shoulder is better!

I would love to some of Surreal. I sent you an e-mail at the correct address this time (I hope). I tried gmail first, silly me. I got a huge rejection e-mail from google for that.

correction: "I would love to see some of Surreal"

Sorry, I got a little type happy and skipped a word.

Stephanie Meyer: Update from the workshop. Someone said her new series is with mermaids...Just an FYI. They say mermaids are the new "vampires".

Regina,

Thank you. I'm glad it's better, too. Especially since I have to drive my son to the doc to see if he's got an ear infection. I don't have a google email, so yeah, best to use the link I provided LOL

I've sent you a reply, if you haven't seen it already.

J.J.--Mermaids? Interesting. I used to like mermaids, but for some reason never got as hugely into them as I did Princesses. Although, I do remember pretending to be a mermaid when I'd go to my Aunt and Uncle's lake house in the summer--but that was years and years ago. LOL I haven't been a mermaid for a long time.

P.S. J.J.--I plan to read your workshop account, but right now I have to pull myself together to get ready for the appointment at the doc's office. And wake my son up...aaahhhh...not fun.

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!

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...

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...
