If they don't want me, then I don't want them.
At least that was how I felt for a brief moment when an email appeared telling me that my subscription to Brain, Child magazine was going to expire. Then my rational side kicked in and I remembered how much I enjoy the magazine.
So I will renew my subscription. And I will continue to write and submit essays to them in the hopes that eventually they will want me as much as I want them.
Perfectly valid feeling, but I'm glad you decided to renew. I'm reading Jennifer Niesslein's book - Practically Perfect in Every Way: My Misadventures through the World of Self-Help and Back. And I do believe that she was probably genuinely sorry to have to turn your essay down. :^)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say, it made me think that maybe one day WE could start our OWN magazine. :^)
