Friday’s Fun Find | Cathy C. Hall Writes

If you’re new here, you might not have noticed that I’m a regular contributor over at The Muffin. That’s the blog all about writing at WOW!Women-on-writing (also a WONDERFUL resource for writers, no matter what you write!).

Just yesterday, I blogged about a moment a few weeks ago, when I tried on a coat and it didn’t fit. That moment led to a sort of writing moment and…well. You can read all about it here. You’ll feel better about your writing after reading it, I promise.

Know what else can make you feel better about your writing? Writing.

Seems simple, I know, but many of us talk about writing and never quite get any writing finished. And so I’m going to direct you to today’s post at The Muffin wherein we’re looking for YOU to contribute. The Friday Speak Out posts aren’t paying gigs, but they are good writing practice, especially for those of you who need to work on seeing your writing through.

And for those of you who simply have a lot to share when it comes to writing, here’s a way to get out there and connect with a whole new bunch of readers. Or maybe you’d like a nice writing credit. Perhaps it’ll lead to a gig as a paying contributor to a blog.

I mean, how do you think I got the job at The Muffin?

Happy New Year, y’all!

I’d just like to say that 2014 is going to be bigger, brighter, and better than ever!

I’d like to say that, but honestly, it’s only January 3rd and I’m flat wore out. Thank goodness I found these nifty 2014 planning tools over at Literautus, and thank double goodness that they’re free.

Admittedly, I’ve always printed out calendar pages in the beginning of the year and posted markets, deadlines, and events. But I really like the set-up of Literautus’ monthly planner with its resolutions for the month and weekly planning. It’s an easy way for me to look up from the desk and see where I stand on any given day of the month.

Still, I’m not sure that all the organization tools in the world would make a difference when a ball of boundless energy shows up on Christmas morning.
