WOW-women on writing | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Just for the record, I did not start out as a cheapskate. It took years of molding by the beneficent Mr. Hall before I achieved that goal. But all I can say is that when I perused the latest issue of Wow!, it made my penny-pinching days worth it!

My article, “The Cheap Writer’s Guide to Conferences,” was a feature! Now, here’s the funny thing. As I eyed the list of articles, I thought, Hmmmm, didn’t I submit something about conferences? Then I saw the title of an article, “The Cheap Writer’s Guide–” and I thought, Hold on a minute! That’s the title of the article I wrote! Someone stole my title! Then I started reading the blurb about the article and thought, Dang! I had the EXACT SAME IDEA! Seriously, someone stole my title AND idea! Then I saw my name and thought what an idiot.

But not such an idiot that I didn’t write a darn good article about how to save money and attend writer’s conferences. So check it out here. A little Fame for me. A small Fortune in savings for you. Just another day on the Road to Publication.

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.
