And you still haven’t “broken into” New York.
Your initial elation at having “finally published” drops rapidly into the psychological gutter, and you find yourself back to “square one”. You’re almost worse off now than if you had never published in the first place. Other editors may shy away from you because you are not writing “salable” material.
Before you raise a disdainful eyebrow at this scenario, let me assure you. This has indeed happened to more than one writer.

You all know what I am referring to and I'm sure you are as fed up as I am with all the parsing of common words to misrepresent something, someone or both. The parsing of commonly held words is stupid and will not be tolerated by the masses any longer! If an advertiser wants us to dance a jig or jump through hoops to receive their low cost, almost worth nothing, free or freebie item all they must do is simply say so. Rather than parsing of words to mean almost free or free if you are new to our service, or free for the taking but it will exclude you from future almost free or freebies items, just simply say so.

Many writers truly believe that there are no such things as perfect marketing articles?I disagree, perhaps because my own idea of what constitutes a perfect marketing article is very simple.
