Thanks so much for your words of wisdom....Hi Wendy<br /><br />Thanks so much for your words of wisdom. I'm sure your talent is a large part of your success, and I do hope you didn't think that I implied otherwise. What I meant was that you can be the most talented writer in the world but it won't make any difference to being published if your stories remain in your head or on your pc.<br /><br />Many apolgies if my post sounded otherwise.<br /><br />Linda<br /><br />wannabe a writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692361757891220849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287254861041709729.post-19567503358302159242013-03-04T05:35:25.762-08:002013-03-04T05:35:25.762-08:00Wow!

Most importantly, although I would hope that a bit of an ability to write stories comes into play here, I do write a lot - a aim for four stories a month if possible. I also try to ignore rejections and either rework and resubmit elsewhere or write another. Also, even though studying the magazines is very important, it is equally important to write in a style that is comfortable for you - I learnt early on that it never works to write in someone else's style (because you think this is what the magazine wants) as the story will not ring true. Finally, Don't worry too much about the title - the magazine will often give your story their own title anyway. Good luck with your writing.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.com
