The Call Of The Pen (er, computer)

Howdy All,

14 followers! Wow. I'm pretty excited. It means a lot to me that you all want to follow my blog, I appreciate the encouragement and support. (I do go and look up followers' blogs, too, especially the new ones so I can get to know you better as you get to know me).

My son has a sinus infection (thank you for your kind words in respect to his illness and me). Last night was a little better. He got restless about 4 times (all before I was asleep, so that's good) and this morning my husband got up with him (at 4 AM! Yes, I woke up, I can't help it, but I managed to get back to sleep). Then this morning my son woke me up at around 8ish and then ended up taking a nap. I got up first and he followed about a 1/2 hour later.

Last night I finally got back to writing. I didn't get a lot in, but it was something at least. I got started on chapter 3 of my dragon story and I'm looking forward to putting in some ideas I got last night (as I was trying to fall asleep, no less LOL).

Reading is going good. About 1/2 way through MaryJanice Davidson's Fish Out Of Water (her last mermaid book. Apparently it was only to be a trilogy. Too bad). Looking forward to reading the other 2 Royal books.

Last night I checked out from Blockbuster Post Grad. I haven't watched it, yet, but I've been wanting to see it (no, I did forget to put it on my list of movies I wanted to see, LOL, sometimes my brain decides to take a vacation).

Anyway, I knew I couldn't put the story calling me on hold for long (even if there was illness). Eventually I'd find a way to sit down and do some writing, no matter if I was congested. LOL

Oh, by the way, do any of you all like the show, Castle on ABC on Monday nights? I LOVE that show. I don't miss an episode. I think it's really cool and I'm hoping they bring a whole Castle-Beckett romance in soon (yes, yes, I am a romantic, I can't help it). Oh and I do watch The Bachelor but I'm not following it as closely as Castle. Castle is my favorite show right now.

I watched Ugly Betty last night. I thought it was sad. Goodbyes are often tough.

In any case, I wish you all happy writing, reading and a good day.

Have A Terrific Thursday!

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...

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
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...
