It's Worth A Fortune

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!

Interesting,Bethany...I would pay off and fix up my house, buy my sons houses and get a new car.I have had one new car, a compact, in my life. But I could not bring myself to get something extravagantly expensive.I know how many people need cars or repairs just to get to work...i would feel guilty so, yes,I would indeed give to charity, where I knew it would go straight to help people.Also, I have a dear friend whodirects the Washington Animal Rescue League; they recue animals from natural disasters, animal horders and abuse,(she personally worked with some Michael Vick survivors).She would get a chunk, along with the local humane society spay/neuter clinics.
I would try to get some travel in, too, again, nothing overly extravagant.I have several people in the family who would LOVE to go to The Wizarding World...me, too!
I may invest a buck on a lottery ticket this week!
Have a great day.

Tonette,

LOL good to "see" you. Last night I was watching "The King's Speech" and I was having a hard time coming up with a topic and this one finally came to mind. Looks like you have some great ideas on what to do with a million dollars :-)

I would love to say I would go and travel but I dont think I would be able to enjoy myself know that while I am traveling with the "cash" out there is someone who could use the money for blankes,food,water,housing or even just warm clothes so I would invest some of it for my future and donate the rest.

Have a nice day

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...
