Just For Fun | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Looking for something fun and funky this Friday? And maybe just a tad sixties-ish to get you feeling younger than you are? I thought so.

Get on over here and Madmen yourself. That’s Cathy C. Hall, looking stylish and oh, so sleek. Pretty much an exact pic of me (how do they do that?) And thanks to Krysten H. for bringing this find to my attention!

And now for something completely different:

I sent something to HCI Books for the Ultimate Pastor and I received an email today saying one or two things you might find interesting. I suppose an email talking would be interesting enough in itself, but wait. There’s more.

The title of that book in the Ultimate series has changed to The Ultimate Christian Living: Uplifting Stories and Profound Advice about Faith and Fellowship. And the new submission deadline is October 19th.

Well, that’s one of those good news, bad news things, isn’t it? The good news is that I have time to write another story or two and submit to this wonderful market (they accept stories and photos, and their books are beautifully produced. They pay well, too). The bad news is that my pastor story doesn’t seem to quite fit the guidelines now. I mean, it’s Christian and all, but it’s not exactly profound.

Anyway, you can check out what HCI is looking for at their website.

And I’ll go Madmen the beneficent Mr. Hall. (Wow. Now, if that’s not the spitting image of Mr. Hall, I don’t know what is. Right down to the donut.)

Last Friday started with a golf trip. And the week just got crazier and crazier after that. But I did have time to find a contest along the crazy way.

It’s the Women Who Write Contest, sponsored by the members of (what else?) The Women Who Write group in Louisville, Kentucky. I guess you can send just about anything you want, as long as it’s not over ten double-spaced pages of poetry or prose writing. You’ll have to send an entry fee ($10.00) and get it polished up and sent by May 31st. Check out the details here if you’re a woman who writes. Sorry, guys, that’s just the way the contest cookie crumbles.

Oh, I almost forgot! I found the latest issue of Modern Senior Living in the mail this week. My column happened to be about golf. And in that column, I mentioned Junior Hall, who just happened to be playing in the golf tournament from which I’ve just returned. Are you following all that? Anyway, I’d sent a photo of Junior Hall playing golf, just so the editor would know I don’t make up the crazy stuff that winds up in my HI-larious columns. The editor added the photo and my “I don’t make this stuff up” comment to the column. So, Junior Hall is kinda famous in the publishing world now. At least, along the senior set in North Georgia.

Here’s Junior Hall’s kinda famous pic. I’ll be adding my columns to my website any day now, so you’ll be able to read “Golf Lessons.” And see for yourself the sorta true, kinda crazy world of Cathy C. Hall.
