It's March-ing time

The first two months of the year are over and I've got two really good publications in my Clips Bag : Christian Science Monitor and Writing-world.com (okay, article yet to be published, but I've been paid already).

It's a wonderfully vicious circle - this writing and publishing. Getting published (and paid) is a huge motivator and keeps the ideas flowing. I'm so glad I signed up for KK's Query Challenge. Six is not a bad number here; frankly, its a lot more than I would have done otherwise!

The March issue of Newbie writers newsletter has FOUR mentions of yours truly. No, I didn't bribe Dawn, the editor. I just happen to love that forum and am a very (over)active member. Because I come across a lot of job listings and calls, not all of which I can use, I post them to the NW forum. I hope that some of the other writers there may be able to use them someday.

If you're looking for systematic, easy to read, free calls for submissions, hop over to www.newbie-writers.com/forum. If there's a kind of market that you're looking for and not having much luck finding, let me know. I'll keep an eye out for you.

Work wise, I've just compiled and edited a 15 page newsletter that went out last week to over 600 people. I'm hoping to work with any other charity helping them with their newsletter/magazine. If you know of any charity who could use such a service, tell them about me!
