Tooting My Horn Tuesday on Bylines Calendar 2010!

Wow! I had a bit of a book bonanza when I went to the mailbox today! But too much tooting’s not very nice, so…Um, that didn’t come out quite right. Er, neither did that. Let’s just move on, shall we?

I found my Bylines 2010 Writer’s Desk Calendar and there I was, right across from Christmas week, sounding off on some writerly thing. But that’s not all I found in this splendiferous desk calendar. There’s a page for you to list (and check off!) writing goals, as well as monthly Writer To Do pages. You’ll find a submission tracker, pages for conference notes, an expenses sheet, a mileage sheet, web sources, and probably a lot more writing stuff I’m leaving out. Obviously, you need this desk calendar. But you can’t have mine. You can order your own from the Bylines website.

And you know what else I found? I saw a lot of writers I recognized. Check out the Submission guidelines here. ‘Cause next year, I want to find you in the Bylines Calendar 2011!

Congratulations, Cathy! Hmm, since you don't want to give away yours, maybe you should raffle off some autographed copies… 🙂

You make me laugh!And, congratulations! Wow, you're just being published left and right! I'll check out those submission guidelines!

Thanks, y'all!And Madeline, if you buy one, I'll be happy to autograph it :-)(The editor needs 52 short essays for the next year. 52! Give it a try-you get a really swell desk calendar!)

I wish I were published so I could submit. Oh well, maybe 2012???

Cathy, Congratulations!!! How Awesome!! I will definitely buy one and have you autograph it!! I've looked at Bylines quite a few times, but never got around to submitting anything.

Congratulations! You're kicking a** and it's only January!

Gail, you write. You can submit! And that goes for all you guys ;-)Um, gals.Lisa, I submitted to this market waaay back in February. Any day now, those months I played the grasshopper will catch up with me!(But thanks!)

Hi Cathy,Congatulations! That is great news.Donna

This is a really great calendar, and if the same woman is the editor, Sylvia Forbes, then she is a member of the Missouri Writers Guild, and so am I. Is that too much tooting or name throwing or whatever you want to call it?Congrats! Margo

Margo, I completely agree! Goodness, there's lots of talent in that Missouri Writer's Guild! Y'all must be tooting all the time! (Um, oops. I've got to come up with a different metaphor :-)And thanks, Donna!

Congratulations, Cath — that quite an honor and you can toot all you want and any way you want!

I have an electronic calendar on my fancy phone/camera/toaster/nail clippers/internet thingy. I have ICal on my Mac desktop. I have a church calendar on the wall in my kitchen (never miss another saint's feast day!) but I'm a sucker for nice desk calendars. This one is especially nice because you are right there "sounding off". Keep up the good work!

Aw, Anita, thanks! You say the nicest things :-)And Oh. My. Gosh. I thought I was the only one who had a phone/camera/toaster/nail clippers/internet thingie electronic calendar!It IS a small world, after all.
