How to negate a writing career
It's always nice to be remembered, but it'd be nicer if it was for current projects. For instance, I just sent back a story with a cover letter that started "I just looked at your web site, and think this story will be perfect for Artemis Magazine." Well, that's very nice. But the last issue of Artemis Magazine was in 2003, and there's no active web site for it that I know about. Ah well: another clueless writer.
