I hate it when people string me along ("I'm sure you'll get your check very soon"or "we'll have to see if there's space in the next issue" when it's an online publication so space is not an issue).I hate it when they expect perfection but don't even bother to spell check their emails.I hate it when they create a false sense of urgency. I scramble to finish an article in under two weeks, then the editor sits on it for like a month before requesting multiple rewrites.Actually, why am I ranting? Today was a good day. I sold Personal Essay #2 and a good friend from college is in town, so make that a very good day. Cheers!
