Unbeknownst to her, however, her family takes the liberty to publish her e-mails in their small-town newspaper as a column. :)<br /><br />Have you thought about turning your life into a witty newspaper column? Perhaps you should explore newspaper journalism.<br /><br />And also, have you considered that the "rejections" you're getting are actually God's way of directing you somewhere else ... like writing that book? Just wondering. :)<br /><br />Also, if you need some extra money, you could be doing some child care out of your home (gasp!...sounds scary), tutoring, substitute teaching/teaching. Do you have your teaching certificate?<br /><br />Oh girl, social work. Counseling. Children's/Youth ministry...I can envision you doing a million things! You must be so flexible. Or maybe I just see you as so layed back and amazing that I can picture you doing just about ANYTHING and being successful. :)✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152766234203760736.post-29335458753785014312011-02-12T08:33:51.409-08:002011-02-12T08:33:51.409-08:00We need to chat girl!

They are based in Philadelphia but asked for true life stories from" city life."<br /><br />It may be that when they say "city" they only mean their city. I live near San Francisco and when we say "the city" everyone knows we are talking about SF.<br /><br />I have plenty of other options and don't really feel like a "a reject", just thought that would make an eye catching title. Ha! Thanx for your kind words.Brenda Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842228644349167297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152766234203760736.post-14858673578714579042011-02-05T08:33:40.136-08:002011-02-05T08:33:40.136-08:00I'm dealing with the same type thing.

In fact, it proves quite the opposite. Just means you need to know more about publications before you try to write for them. Another of life's learning experiences. <br /><br />Keep writing!Miss Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569594607534260565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152766234203760736.post-62385626700939826732011-02-04T17:56:26.399-08:002011-02-04T17:56:26.399-08:00Good for you.
