My first article was in Take a Break. They wanted romance in the workplace, so I sent a few photos and a couple of pages. It was fab when the editor rang. I ran round the house jumping onto the settee. It's true to life stories that editors seem to like best from me. Thing is, this can have drawbacks. When I wanted to take a picture of my mother in law's neighbour in her garden recently, she hid her face and ran into the house shouting, "No, no, I haven't brushed my hair yet." My daughter said, 'that's because they know you as the lady who writes to magazines.' She probably thought she'd end up in Woman's Weekly. It had crossed my mind, so I can't blame her. Nice to know they have such faith in me!!
I love it - the neighbour running away from you :-)
ReplyDeleteI know Teresa, there is an upside to this, she's incredibly nosey, and asks too many questions, so all I have to do now is get my camera out:)))
DeleteLovely donkeys. I used to find articles a bit easier to publish - good luck with them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary, I think I'm apt to be a bit too airy fairy with fiction, I need to be a bit more down to earth.
DeleteAaaaw, love the donkeys!
ReplyDeletePeople worry I'm going to put them in my writing - some are right to be worried ;-)
Definately Patsy, I write about anything and anyone, changing names sometimes of course though. Great fun isn't it?;))
DeleteThe donkeys are so cute! Love the picture.
