Fame and Fortune | Cathy C. Hall Writes

I feel lucky, oh so lucky. I feel lucky, and plucky and bright!

I’m a singing, dancing fool when I win, so thanks to “West Side Story” for inspring me today. And a BIG thanks to Elizabeth Guy over at The Verb for her Sentence Soiree Party. Remember when I told you to write a brilliant sentence and send it in? You could have been the one to be plucked from the straw hat. But instead it was me!

That’s right. Cathy C. Hall won an opinion (a $300 value!) when her name was chosen out of all the daily winners. How’s that for a Fortune? Check it out here for the horn-tootin’ details. I know just the manuscript I’ll send. Technically, it’s the only manuscript I can send. But hey, that just makes the choice easy.

Kind of like the way I won that contest. I feel lucky, oh so lucky! Think I’ll go buy a lottery ticket.

I’m on the top of the world, looking down on creation, and the only explanation I can find is er, (I’m just gonna make up something here) ’cause I found a little Fame and Fortune on my Road to Publication!

I really try to keep my horn tooting to Tuesdays, and my finding something to Fridays, but I’m just too excited. When I opened my Inbox, I found the May/June issue of Wow! Women on Writing e-zine which just happened to be the Humor issue. And guess who just happened to have an article in it? Ta-daa! It’s called “Almost Everything I Know about Humor Writing I Learned for Free” and you’ll find it in the Freelancer’s Corner. Go directly there now and you can learn a few tips, too.

But don’t just read my article. Read the whole issue. Because it’s packed with great stuff about humor writing. And many of these writing tips apply to genres across the board. I’m sure you’ll find something you can use.

Like a new contest or market. You’ll find plenty of opportunities in the Women on Writing e-zine. Consider that your Finding Something Friday, one day early. ‘Cause Cathy C. Hall will be gone for the weekend, soaking up a few rays and celebrating Fame and Fortune.

Oh, and singing…I’m on the top of the world, looking…say, was that Karen Carpenter? Or the Cowsills? Dang. Now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
