You know that old saying about March roaring in like a lion?
So, yeah, there’s been some crazy roaring over here, but I did have a moment–with a lot of help from a pair of writing buddies–to share tips on getting your story in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book over at the Muffin. I call it, “How To Get Your Story in a Chicken Soup for the Soul Book.”
Catchy, right? But seriously, Sioux and Linda had some great advice, and why not? They’re experts in this genre of writing. You only need to follow their blogs to get a glimpse into their style and voice (but I’d pick up a couple of their Chicken Soup books if you want to really see how pros do it. Um…write, that is.)
Everybody has a Chicken Soup story in them but not everyone gets their story published. The competition is fierce! But if you keep at it–and especially, if you follow these great tips–you will succeed. And I hope you’ll let me know when you do succeed.
As for me, I’m fixin’ to roar off to our regional SCBWI Conference and a wedding and an authors’ reception and…whew. When’s that March lamb thing supposed to kick in?
Thanks, Cathy C. I’m heading over there now….and BTW, I JUST wrote on my blog about CS the other day and all their newest call-outs! Did you happen to read it? Have a great day!
Cathy–Thanks again. There are several CS Queens here in St. Louis. I’m merely a princess, but am learning lots from Linda, the other WWWPs and other writer friends.
You know the song. “I get by with a little (a lot of) help from my friends.”
