Finding Something Friday… An Oldie but a Goldie

Bright and early this morning I opened my Inbox to find an email from my old buddy, Bill. And by old, I mean “not really that old, but older than me.”

Bill and I worked together years ago, finding Fame and Fortune on the radio. Technically, I didn’t find either, but Bill enjoyed a successful career and now is working as a successful freelance voice guy. I guess in some strange and wacky way, he misses those radio days because he does a two-minute podcast every day where he plays stuff from the years and years he spent as a very entertaining personality jock.

Which is where the email came in. He sent me some commercials that I’d written and that he’d produced. We’d done a take-off on “Dallas” (I was Sue Melon)…and a Dragnet spoof that was HI-larious…

Absolutely made my day. I mean, we were BRILLIANT! If I were still that brilliant, I might be able to figure out how to add those commercials here. But for now, I’ll just add Bill’s podcast to Cathy C.’s Hall of Fame. So check it out here or over at DETOURS. I guarantee you’ll find something to smile about. And you may even find the voice of Cathy C. Hall.

Finding Something …WOW!

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!)
