Just Received a New Feather For My Cap

I have to tell you my good news. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, I applied to join the Cat Writer's Association, a national organization with members who have either written a book about a cat or had a cat blog for over a year.

Their requirements are a bit stiff, but I thought I had a good chance to get in, as I published my book about my Carlos before I even started the blog.

Today I finally got my reply -- and am stoked because I was accepted. In the letter, the secretary informed me of several ways the organization can help. She also asked for a list and a link for the other books I've published, as they will go on their list of books by members.

To me, this acceptance appears to be the start of a whole new list of connections in my niche, and a great place to find guests to post and ideas for my own articles. Am I pleased? Well, yes, I am very pleased!

a big congrats goes to you. Its amazing what doors can open for us if we just stick with it.

I cant wait to hear how things move forward for you now.

Dale

Oh, you WAers will be the first to hear.

Congratulations Fran, that is indeed a great achievement.

Thanks. I believe it will be helpful.

Fran,

That is such wonderful news. I'm very happy for you.

Congrats!
Mickey

Thank you, Mickey. I'm very happy my own self.

Yay!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Fran! That is so exciting. I am so happy for you.

Jessica

Your turn next.

Thanks Fran!!

I just checked it out. I don't qualify yet as they make it very clear that a website much have new content published weekly for 6 months (and site must have existed for a year) in order to quality.

I guess I would have to make sure to add a post every week for 6 months in order to qualify. I have not been doing that lately and especially since I am trying to work on my second site as well.

Hopefully someday I can join you there.

Well, I would not have made it if it weren't for the book. The blog just adds a bit of extra sauce. So glad I was accepted.

Congrats, Fran, that's fabulous. Do you know Swangirl? She has a cat website and has been blogging about cats for over a year. This might be a good resource for her as well.

Yes, I know Swangirl, and already suggested she join as well. She will eventually, I think, but right now she's too bogged down in all the repairs they are doing.

Yes, I know she has her hands full. Thought you two cat people probably knew each other. I'm a cat people, too, but catless now since my move.

Unfortunately, I, too, am catless at present. Can't bring myself to find a Carlos replacement yet. It might be time when I get back from California.

I know what you mean. It usually takes me a couple years to be ready to give my heart to another furkid, but sometimes they fine me instead! Sorry about your Carlos.

Waiting for a new one to find me.

It will happen when the time is right.

Yes, that is awesome news, I congratulate your achievement :)

Thank you!

Congrats! That does sound like a fantastic way to make niche connections.

I think it will be!

Oh My Gosh Fran, Exactly what you are looking for. If I had known you applied I would have said absolutely they would accept you.

Your writing is right up there with the top authors. Topnotch my dear. You are very very good. Everyone should read your posts.

Keep us updated on all your new connections. I for one would love to hear.

Laura

Laura, I would like you and Vicki to be my promoters...maybe Zed, too. I appreciate your encouraging comments a great deal.

What is a promoter?

Well done Fran proud of all you have accomplished not just here but elsewhere.

Great news, certainly will give you a happy feeling while you head off to California.

Andre

It certainly will! I can hardly wait to dig into the CWA's resources.

Guess today is a day full of smiles for you. Enjoy

Fran,

Happy dance in the chair, of course, LOL

Congratulations great great news you go girl!!!!!

Susie ::)) (E-Hugs)

Well, I might even stand up and dance. Want to dance with me, or are you immobile at present?

Fran,
No, Maxine and I always say dance from the chair, because we
do not want to jump up and down and fall down LOL!

Just our way of celebrating good things that happen with each
other - so figured you would like it for a celebration dance ::))

You are doing so great you need to be very proud of such an
accomplishment shout it out!!!
Susie
