Get me outta here!

Tooting My Horn Tuesday for Baseball Beauties

March 10, 2010 by Cathy C. Hall

Ever have one of those days where it was just one thing after another? Yesterday was mine. So I’m calling a do-over. Which explains why on Wednesday, we’re having Tuesday Tootin’ at the Hall of Fame.

Now, I know we’ve shared our writing woes and woohoo’s here at the Hall, but there are other areas in Cathy C. Hall’s life that have remained (and really, you should thank me for this) on the down low.

However, to truly understand how crazy excited I am to be writing over at Baseball Beauties, you need to know about The Secret Life of Sports lurking below my oh-so-classy exterior. Namely, that I am what other folks might refer to as a “fanatic.” Which frankly, has a connotation I find a bit disrespectful.

The Beneficent Mr. Hall has learned over the years not to stand (or sit) too close to me while watching a sporting event. Because I am not what you would call a passive viewer. I’m more what you might call an “interactive” viewer. It’s entirely possible that I will yell, scream, shout, throw objects, jump up and down, do fist pumps, chest bumps, and yes, accidentally slap someone who might be in close proximity during said sporting event.

Being a fan is all well and good if one is actually at The Ted, watching the home team. But if one is at home, say, watching the Braves on the big screen, then watching the game safely becomes sort of a sport in and of itself.

But, and here’s a big but (mine withstanding), now my sports fanaticism is paying off. I get to write funny baseball stuff over at Baseball Beauties! You can read my first baseball bit here. I think you can leave a comment, too. (It’s a new site, so bugs and such are getting worked out every day.)

Oh, and just so you know. I’m not one of those baseball beauties you’ll see um, posing on the site. And since we’re sharing down low info, I’ll just admit here and now that even in my best days ever, I couldn’t pull off the baseball beauty look. But I have gotten my share of looks while I’ve been at baseball games.

Finding Something Friday: Flashlight Memories at Silver Boomer Books

March 6, 2010 by Cathy C. Hall

When I was looking for the Market of the Month, I came across a note I’d made about Flashlight Memories. But alas (and alack, even), submissions are due by March 15th! Technically, that would be a Market for the Half-Month.

But why should I let a few days keep you from submitting to a delightful anthology? Especially one by my friends over at Silver Boomer Books? And most especially for an anthology that’s so dear to my heart.

Flashlight Memories will features poems and prose re: childhood reading. Oh, it makes me smile, just thinking about “A Pickle for a Nickel.” Or the Just So Stories. Or reading in my secret hideout with- you guessed it- a flashlight. In fact, I have so many childhood memories about reading, it’ll be hard to choose just one to write.

So, I have to run. By the time I decide what to write, the month will be half over!
