Timely Reminder(s)

by

ImageOver at the Muffin today, I opined about a timely reminder, courtesy of my stars. 

The LIbran stars, that is. Every once in a while, I’ll read my horoscope and think, “Wow. That’s pretty sage advice.” And then I wonder who actually writes the horoscopes and if I could get that job.

Anyway, now that I’ve piqued your interest, you know you’re sitting there, wanting to find out the sage advice. So go and read the Muffin and feel better about yourself and your writing. But then come back here if you haven’t commented on the Sneaky Art giveaway. 

Well, technically you’ll have to comment here if you want to be entered into the drawing. Remember that there are two giveaways, so you have a swell chance of winning either the book or a fun rainy day pack. You have till Fun Friday to enter!

And now I shall leave you with yesterday’s Libra horoscope (which is also pretty darn good advice, especially for the writer type):

“It’s one of those rare times when it’s actually positive to dwell on the past. You’ll learn something. There’s a bit you missed, and when you look back, it will click into place.”

(Seriously. Who writes those things? It’s like a sparkly gem of Zen writer wisdom.)

Survey Results

by

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAfter carefully considering your thoughtful survey comments (and thank you!)–I made a decision.

Um…I know it sounds a bit narcissistic, but I missed seeing my name up there on the blog title. So after all that head-scratching thinking, it’s back to Cathy C. Hall in the header.

And as much as I liked coming up with tag lines–and your input–I decided that I just needed to say I was a writer. But “Cathy C. Hall, Writer” lacked a certain…oh, what’s the dang word? Which made me immediately think of the dictionary! So I zipped right to it and there it was, the perfectly jazzed-up version of writer (and a fairly good description of …well, me):

(n.) a person engaged in writing books, articles, stories, etc., especially as an occupation.

But I couldn’t just leave all that fishy thinking, floating about. And a wee bit of humor is always a fun hook. So if you’ll take a look over in the sidebar, you’ll see where it landed.

(And P.S. the now older and wiser Cathy C. Hall is trying out Carbonite as a way of storing her files. I’ll let you know how that goes. Also, I’m getting ready to take a shower. So…um, yeah. The blog could look totally different later. But the office aroma will definitely improve.)
