Over a month since my last post - I'm ashamed!
But we are now half way through the summer holidays which is always a period of juggling!
I've been trying to fit in the odd bursts of writing whenever I get a few spare minutes - usually in Sainsbury's cafe when I'm between taxi journeys - not the cheapest way to write.
I've also been looking for a new job, but despite getting the interviews the job always seems to be just out of my grasp.
But after a long period of rejection, I'm delighted to say that today I received a phonecall from a lovely lady at Prima magazine, to tell me that they are going to publish a story I sent them recently.
It really made my day and gave me a real boost when I needed it most. Thank you Prima!
They accept 800 word stories, so the wordcount is pretty tight, but with the ever decreasing outlets for Womag stories, its definitely worth a try.
Now I'm going to have a very large glass of wine to celebrate!

ReplyDeleteHi Keith Thank you, might be worth another try? They seem to like twist endings.

ReplyDeleteWell done! It feels great doesn't it? And suddenly all those past rejections simply don't matter any more. Here's hoping your job-hunting luck will change soon as well. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa - thank you - no where near your success but its a start!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, it does feel great, and has given me the push I needed to start sending out more stories - you've got to be in it to win it as they say
