Just got an email from the nice lady at Backwoods Home magazine. I submitted an article there at her request – a long one with photos, which ought to pay pretty well – more than two months ago and never heard a word back, and took that to mean they didn’t like it. So I wrote it off as another exercise in rejection.
And then out of the blue she writes back, apologizes for the delay, and wants to buy it. Just now re-read it – when it’s been overcast for two days and I shouldn’t be using the ‘pooter so long, but what the hell – and it’s actually pretty darned good in my exalted opinion. Don’t know why I didn’t badger her.
So watch for “Confessions of a Desert Rat: Life in the Boondocks on $30 a Week.” Coming to a print publication near you!
Hey, cool! Congrats! 🙂
Cool beans! Congratulations. 🙂
Yahoo, money! Congrats, looking forward to reading it.
You used to claim $25 per week. Inflation or luxury living?
Nice work! I’m looking forward to it.
Ben: Pretty much both. 🙂
Joel congratulations! This reminded me of what Heinlein said after receiving a $70 US check for his first published story “How long has this racket been going on?” I’m looking forward to reading it.
