Tooting My Horn Tuesday: A Premium Green Update

I don’t always spend my writing budget wisely. Or any of my budget, for that matter. But that’s a somewhat unpleasant story, best left to Mr. Hall to tell. Today, my story is about a time I did spend the green well. And for that, I’m tooting my horn.

It’s been three months now since I joined Premium Green, an on-line writer’s guide developed by those hard-working folks over at WOW! Women-on-writing. Every month I receive an e-book stuffed with markets, writing articles, tips and advice…all for just two bucks a month.

I know what you’re thinking. I could get any market guide with similar information, for about the same price. That’s nothing to toot about. But hold on. There’s more to PG than just a great marketing tool for freelancers. It’s a wonderful writing community, too.

In my PG group, I can pick the brain of fiction writers or non-fiction writers…women who successfully run their own freelance businesses…or women just starting to call themselves writers. You can’t really put a price on that kind of generous support and knowledge.

Check out PG here to find out more. C’mon, you know two bucks a month for all that writerly brilliance is a bargain. And for that kind of bargain, I’ll toot my horn any day!

Tooting My Horn Tuesday: Okay, It’s an Invoice

See that? It’s a Cathy C. Hall official invoice. Notice the sleek lines, the colors cleverly matching my blog’s hues, the bold, Copperplate script.

Okay, it’s just an invoice. Which may not seem very horn-tootable. But where there’s an invoice, there’s someone making a Fortune.

Okay, maybe not a Fortune. But it is a bill, requesting payment for services rendered. And today I’m sending out my very first bill. And when my invoice is marked paid in full, and I’ve got a check in my hand, guess what I’m gonna do?

Oh yeah…I’ll be blowing that horn, baby, all the way to the bank.
