All Write By Me

Evenin' All,


Well, I have to say I'm thrilled and honored. J.J. Gave me a gift--a blog award!

See...




So thank you so much J.J.! Too sweet. Well according to the rules I have to say 7 things about me y'all don't know...if I accidently mention something I've already said, then I'm sorry:


1. For something cliche: my favorite colors are purple and green...every now and again I like blue, pink or red (but I have to be in the right mood).


2. I used to take horseback riding lessons (like when I was 12-16ish). I learned how to ride bareback, English and Western. I did some jumping. I never did Drassage, but one of my sisters did.


3. I'm allergic to turkey--no really I am (weird, I know, but eating it makes me sick).


4. My husband and I were once a part of the same singles' site (before we were dating), but that's not how we met.


5. I was a note passer in high school. But I refused to cheat.


6. When my younger brother said "Fa-shizzle" for the first time when he was in college I had no idea what it meant. (He's in Grad school now and he very nicely translated for me).


7. I love the song "We're Not Gonna Take It" although I can never remember who sings it.


Now...the other part of the rules said to award the award to 7 bloggers...


Okay...


Marsha of Marsha's Musings. She's got some great thoughts on writing and I loved her Flashback Friday post saying her husband looks like Kevin Costner. That rocks!


To author Ciara Gold of Ciara Gold's Treasures for giving us a "peek" at a published writer's life. Awesome :-)


To Regina of Regina Rhythm for all her help and for having some great advice for writers and other artists on her blog.


To Anubis of Bane of Bane's Blogging Blues for offerring me something outside my usual perusals online. (Particuarly his title from yesterday's post LOL).


For Monica (who's blog I won't link since I'm not sure whether or not she'd want me to) But, I love the stories of my nieces and nephew! (yes, she's one of my sisters, but cut me some slack I don't follow a ton of blogs!)


Also to Babz, another one of my sisters. She doesn't get on her blog much, but it's still good to keep up with everything.


And to Rob, my brother. He has 2 blogs, so either one of them works to have the award.


Unfortunately I don't follow a lot of blogs (And I don't think Nathan Bransford has time to view too many blogs AND the same deal with Bookends LLC).


I'd give it to Stephanie, but she's already got this award. LOL :-)


So to those who got the award, you do the same thing:


Copy and paste the picture on your blog.


Thank the person who gave it to you.


Share 7 things people don't know about you.


Give the award to 7 people who don't have it already


Notify those 7 people.


Let's share the love, folks!


Have A Meldious Monday Night!

Bane,

you're welcome, of course! I had a horse once take off with me at a gallop and another time another horse take off with me at a canter. They're interesting animals. Have a great day!

Marsha,

You're welcome :-)

Hey Bethany, thanks so much. I'm on my laptop so I can't pass out or paste it tonight but I'm thrilled and I'll do my blog magic this weekend.

Loved reading the seven things about you. Too fun.

Thanks again for thinking of me. LOL

Ciara,

Not a problem! You're a sweetheart and I'm keeping hope alive that I'll meet you in December! I still have to turn in my RWA application but it's all ready. Then in January I'll join NWHRWA :-) I'm excited.

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...

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

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...

Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart .
