Why Your Article Pitch Was Rejected
http://www.makealivingwriting.com/why-your-article-pitch-was-rejected
Darr; Skip to Main Content. Why Your Article Pitch Was Rejected. There are five stages to pitching a story idea to an editor:. You get an article idea. You write the idea up, in a query letter or letter of introduction. You send the pitch letter in, usually via email. You wait, frequently in vain, for a response. You begin the second-guessing game, and start wondering why your article pitch didn’t get you an assignment. The reason you fear. In other words, you think the reason you were rejected is all ab...

Letting Go.To Grasp What Really Matters. Video & Press. The Glass Jar Every Human Being Needs to Hold. July 28, 2015. If I don’t say this now I will surely break. As I’m leaving the one I want to take. The Fray. Is there a chance something could happen? She asked. You know with the surgery. I knew what my eight-year-old daughter was asking. Although it had just dawned on her that something could go terribly wrong, the thought had plagued me for weeks. If I could bottle up my love I would. It was a writin...

Carry On, Warrior. Bring G to You. Carry On, Warrior. Bring G to You. Get G in Your Inbox! Cool Ashes Can’t Burn Us. January 30, 2015. I believe that life starts when we stop running from pain and instead surrender to it. We can’t remain on the lam from pain forever. The running and deflecting and numbing. I posted it and your responses. How can I help you through the trauma? Yes I see this. This is real. We don’t need a magician to take it all away – we just need a witness.”. And Amy said, “I thin...

The Good Ol’ Pricks Debate | Speaker7
https://speaker7.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/the-good-ol-pricks-debate
Speaks to the masses of people not reading this blog. Fifty Shades of Grey. The Good Ol’ Pricks Debate. I watched the entire GOP debate last night and while my stomach muscles are still strained from all the dry-heaving, I felt compelled to actually write a post to share the highlights. It’s really hard to pick a favorite moment, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. Or the moment Trump said his solution to immigration was to build a wall and that he asked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to do it:. And then o...

Fill Your Own Glass. A realistic approach to an optimistic life. Sunday Smiles- It Isn’t the Things. August 9, 2015. It’s the feel of the soft, purring vibration of a cat napping on your lap. It’s the sound of your nephew’s laughter as he plays in the surf on a beach day. It’s the ring of laughter as friends come together to celebrate a milestone birthday. It’s the inhalation of crisp, clean air on a mountain hike. It’s dancing around the living room with abandon to a favorite 80s tune. No, it isn’t the ...

Trigger Warning: I Get It - Rubber Shoes in Hell - Sticking my fingers in my ears and going LALALALA since 1972
http://www.rubbershoesinhell.com/trigger-warning-i-get-it
Sticking my fingers in my ears and going LALALALA since 1972. On June 29, 2015. Trigger Warning: I Get It. We went to the grocery at an ungodly hour yesterday morning. Because that is what we do on Sunday mornings. Randy, a rat bastard morning person, is more persistent than I am sleepy. I always threaten to not go with him, but then I figure, I’m awake anyway. I had an epiphany yesterday, you guys. Randy put a CD in the player just as Aerosmith’s cover of. Am I forgetting something? From there, my anxie...

Lea Sylvestro: Swamp Song
http://leasylvestro.blogspot.com/2015/04/swamp-song.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. An exuberant racket rises, croaks, and clatters from the swamp. While doves nuzzle on overhanging limbs, offering a chorus of coos, their soft voices are bellowed to the background by the wood frogs’ song of seduction. It is raucous and joyful, and in my relief and gratitude at the demise of this hard winter, I wish I, too, had an annual spring welcome to add to this swelling orchestra of Nature’s voices. Or Come Play with Me. By Marie Hall Ets. 8220;Where is the owl? Dave, howev...

Lea Sylvestro: Not in the News
http://leasylvestro.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-in-news.html
Thursday, June 11, 2015. Not in the News. Every time I read “The Week,” I wonder if staying informed is really so important. We dropped our subscription to the Connecticut Post and stopped watching the news years ago. So far, I can handle The Courier, but even local news has been discouraging lately. Still, it’s the bigger picture that is hard to face, the atrocities by ISIS, the oppression of women, and racial and ethnic hatreds unleashed. What is our problem? Would you be willing to contribute? I scann...
