Pacing, and moving forward.

I haven't heard anything from the e-zine since I sent my article. No "It's great" or "change this" or anything. So of course I'm starting to worry. Like, didn't anyone read it yet? What if they didn't get it? Should I email and verify that it has been received? And if it wasn't, I sent a bill!! What if they think I'm so overconfident in my work that I deserve to get paid rather than have EARNED to get paid-- and sent a bill like I'm already "big"!!!?? I'm so humble its not even funny. So why am I stressing this? I was super honest and sincere with the editor, she totally related to me, and I felt we actually had some sort of connection over email. So why isn't she answering me?? She HAS to know how it feels to send something and wait for the response!!

*Paces, cries..*

**Stops Crying**

So I'm on to the next gig. I've been devouring my subscription to media bistro.com (since it cost me 59 American pesos, which is an entire tank of gas nowadays) so I'm making good use of it. It has a ton of great articles with lots of candid toddler-questions that you'd love to ask like "Hey mister, how'd you get that job, or What do you DO anyway?" Looove it!! One in particular that I read was about a mag that I'd loooove to pitch. Gave me inside scoops, who to pitch for what topics and how. Yeah? Yeah. So I'm working on my pitch for that. I want it to be easy like my first article was. But I'm thinking about coming up with a new, fresh idea. And for some reason, that's proving to be a bit harder.
