THIS & THAT FOR THE MONTH OF MAY

Just for fun. Facts about the month of May. May is Creative Beginnings Month. That certainly relates to writing. We all need a great beginning, a hook that will reel in editors, agents, and readers. May is National Salsa Month. Salsa is spicy and delicious--just like romance novels. A scrumptious opening hook whets our taste buds for the rest of the story. May is Sweet Vidalia Onion Month. Vidalia onions sweeten a salsa recipe. Sweet, tasty Vidalia onions enhance any recipe much as a passionate and sweet love story enhances any romance novel. May 27 is Cellophane Tape Day. Cellophane tape holds things together. Good writing, good characterization, and believable conflict will hold any story together, be it sweet or spicy, or a dash of both. May 30 is Hug Your Cat Day. I love cats. Most writers own cats. Every day should be Hug Your Cat Day. I’ll end on that note as I go off in search of my cat Killer to give her a big hug.
