*headdesk*
I finally finished that cult article. Complete with Ricky Rodriguez story, interview with an Xmember of the family, and "happy words!" for about a page near the end. Complete and shipped off to Today's Teen and another magazine called Skeptic Magazine which I caught a sniff of from watching Dateline (they had a segment and showed an article from it) I sent a query to the editor who said he was looking for cult articles so I sent mine right along. All 2753 words of it.
So I'm all set for Today's Teen September Issue I've got five book reviews, an interview and the cult article.
Now I've got to set up for the next issue. I'm thinking (and this is just a though, not an actual decision) that I'll save the I Don't Want to Be Crazy review for a while because I want to have a whole layout on mental disorders review spread sometime in the near future. I'm getting some books in now about anxiety disorders...I've got to see what else I can incorporate into that spread.
I definatley want to go ahead and get the reviews out for A) Saint Iggy B) Beth Killian's new novels C)(mabye) Edward Tulane. The Miaraculous Journey of Edward Tulane which is a book my mother's been pushing on me for a few days. If she loved it then I will too, I think.
And then for actual articles I've been hanging on the idea of something like.."Humanizing the Employee: Minumum Wage Won't Cover Therapy Bills" Sort of an inside look at teen jobs and how we treat waiters, and busboys, and basically any working store/resturant people under the age of 20. Because we really aren't kind.
Then I start the new section of the other paper on August 19th, but I think they assign articles. Which is fine...I can take assignments. Hopefully though they'll let me do a lot of book reviews..
My book is coming along. I'm on page 16. Which is like nothing, but at least I'm making something like a dent in the manuscript.
