Contest | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Never let it be said that Cathy C. Hall can’t admit when she’s wrong. Thank goodness, I’m never wrong. But it’s a possibilty that I was wrong. So I will issue the possibility of an apology.

Let’s say that I lambasted (you heard me, LAMBASTED) a contest site for being “fishy” or not on the up-and-up or as an out and out scam. Then, only a few days later, let’s say I heard from this very same contest site, apologizing for not responding to my email FOUR months ago. Something about an accident, which as the saying goes, do happen.

I was assured that the contest would get back on track as soon as possible. But so far, nothing. Perhaps the contest really will get back on track. And then my previous WNTDW post won’t be nearly as effective.

Thank goodness, I didn’t mention the contest by name. On the other hand, I’m not holding my breath waiting for good news. (The possibilities are endless.)

Oh, I know it’s usually Finding Something Friday here on Cathy C. ‘s Hall of Fame but when I went out today and saw a package on my porch, I had to share the Fortune I found!

“I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.” That’s me singing like a Pointer Sister, doing the happy dance all the way from the porch to the kitchen table where I ripped into the box and found the following gifts from WOW-Women-on-writing.com!

As it happens, my writers’ group is sponsoring a writing competition in a few months and I know some lucky young lady will be thrilled to get a WOW! baseball cap. Of course, she’ll ask about WOW! and the website on her cap and Voila! Walking, wearable advertising. I’m afraid that The Renegade Writer’s Query Letters that Rock won’t be going anywhere. I can’t wait to soak up those tips. And I’ll happily share a few with you.

Wouldn’t you like to win great gifts, too? There’s always something fun going on over at WOW! Check out their website here. Or join Premium Green for great market tips (I won the swag in a PG contest). Right now, my new champagne timer’s about to go off, telling me it’s time to get up and give my back a break.

But dang! I really am excited! (You WOW! ladies rock!)
