Markets and Jobs for Writers - The Practicing Writer
Panzer stopped in at The Practicing Writer site where he found a post about opportunities for writers
The post by Erika Dreifus lists markets and jobs which don't charge any fees for submissions or applications. The list includes markets for short fiction and poetry and competitions, fellowships and jobs for writers. Some do have submission restrictions.
Check submission end dates too.
Panzer says, "Always read the rules before you submit."
Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links included in the post, you'll need to decide what to bring to eat and drink while you read.

Kensington CozyClub Mini-Con October 2022 - Criminal Element
Panzer made a quick trip to the Criminal Element site today. With a little digging in the posts our illustrious kitty boy found one about publisher Kensington's October cozy author mini-con.
They did speed dating?
Doreen Sheridon's post includes information about the authors who attended the mini-con and all the activities there. One of the activities was called Speed Dating. Only Kensington cozy mystery authors participated. Photos of the authors are included.
Panzer says, "This little kitty is happy to see the writing conventions are starting again."
Note: Because of all the photos included this is a long post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading.

The Sunday Jigsaw Puzzle Late
Mom got so wrapped up in Thanksgiving during the weekend she forgot to do the Sunday jigsaw puzzle. So, it's a little late, but here it is.
A Hint.
This puzzle is a hard one. I know it looks like me, but it's not. Know how you can tell? He has one green eye and one yellow one. Sneaky, huh?
Remember, if you click the square in the lower left corner at the puzzle site, you'll see what the finished puzzle looks like.
