Ten Things I Hate About Your Writing Pseudonym - Paperback Writer

Gotta make it home to show Mom.

Panzer made a quick trip to Lynn Viehl's blog Paperback Writer today. Our big bad kitty fell off the pilot's seat in the Panzermobile he was laughing so hard. He was barely able to make it home.

Ms. Viehl's post is about ten no-no's for your pen name.

Entry Fee Free SF/F Writing Contest

Panzer needed a break from his editing duties today, so he made an unscheduled trip into the Catosphere. Our adventurous kitty stopped in at Lynn Viehl's Paperback Writer site.

According to the post, the National Fantasy Fan Federation's Annual Short Story Contest is now open for entries. Stories must be science fiction or fantasy based and you must be an "amateur" writer. The complete contest rules are included at the PB site.

Panzer says, "Best of all the contest has no entry fee."

Water, Water Everywhere Plus A Freeware Program

Help! Water is everywhere.

Panzer here. I'm posting for Mom today. I'm very slow at keying because, as you know, cats don't have thumbs.

We have a little house problem today. A hose broke on the washing machine. A river runs from the laundry room across the kitchen and into Mom's office. It's not a pretty site for a cat whose paws are wet up to his belly. Unfortunately, I was napping on Mom's lap when she jumped up to see where the water was coming from. Nuff said about that!

I did make a short trip into the Catosphere this morning. I took a trip over to author Lynn Viehl's Paperback Writer site.

Lynn's post is about the Hott Notes freeware program. She says the program has a notebook feature that a writer can use to organize your manuscript.

I say, "You should bookmark Lynn's site. She's the author of 54 books in genres including steampunk, fantasy, science fiction, romance, young adult, christian adult, and nonfiction. Whew! I have a hard time just keying the genres; I don't know how she can write all those books!"

(I'm not sure if there will be a post tomorrow. Depends on the water level!)
