Tooting My Horn Tuesday About Alalit

by

Yeah, I know Alalit sounds funny…like somehow a martini should be involved. And for all I know, martinis were flowing at the Alabama Writers Conclave get-together this summer when awards were presented. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the festivities.

So, I had to wait all these weeks to find out how my story, “The Chocolate Cake Bait,” fared in the competition. And now, doot-doot-doo-doot-do-do-doooo: Second Prize in Juvenile Fiction!

The doot-doo’s are supposed to be horn-tooting, in case you were wondering. And Alalit is the magazine where you can find my story, in case you were wondering about that, too. You can click here to read, but you’ll have to do some searching before you get to “The Chocolate Cake Bait.”But go ahead and read a few of the other winners’ stuff on your way.

Lots of fine writing in Alalit, even if it does sound a little funny. And they also sent a sweet check. (Nothing funny about that! Um, I hope.)

Finding Something Friday: A Cathy C. Hall Website

by

That’s right. I found that it takes ALL DAY LONG to build a website. Especially if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing and have to go back about a gazillion times to fix things.

So if you go to my website here, and find a few things that don’t make sense, well, there’s a good chance that it won’t be there tomorrow. The things that don’t make sense, that is. Not the website.

Though that’s entirely possible, too.
