Fame and Fortune | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Okay, okay. Fortune may be a bit of an over-statement. But hypothetically speaking, the Fame and Fortune are there for the taking, if you know how at ehow.

I just couldn’t resist trying ehow. Or rather, I couldn’t resist experimenting with this how-to website. So I pulled on my scientist lab coat and produced an article. Click on “How To Trick Out Your Bike Ride with Paint“and let me know what you think. Because frankly, I don’t get paid if you don’t click. And what’s the good of an hypothesis if I can’t prove it?

I’ll see how the clicks go this week while I’m on vacation. Come to think of it, I’m taking a few how-to books with me, to catch up on my reading. My how-to children’s books are packed, as well as my how-to make big bucks as a freelancer book. And of course, my notebook’s packed because I have a few ideas I want to jot down. And a story I want to finish writing.

Hmmm. That sounds like a lot of work going along on vacation. But can you really call it work when it’s something you love? How Fortune-ate can you get?

Looking to unleash your writing? If you’re into romance, I found an interesting way for you to unleash your story and help a good cause while you’re at it!

Take a look at this site to find out how you can participate in a fundraiser marathon, whether you’re a writer, reader or just interested supporter. These romance writers are getting together this September to raise money for cystic fibrosis. But you can pick up your pen wherever you are and raise money, too.

And after you’ve done your good deed for the day, pick up your pen and raise money for your own cause. I found that I just couldn’t resist the call of ehow one day longer, so I signed up! I haven’t actually submitted any articles yet; I want to attract a particular market, so I’m still in the seriously-thinking-of-ideas stage.

But when I think of something, I’ll let you know. I’ll be unleashing some serious how-to writing!
