DAY 77 - AUGUST 19, 2009
I was going to write a query today, but I couldn't bring myself to do it-I haven't even read most of the prospective markets I have. (The ones I have read...eh, I was probably just lacking in courage.) Nonetheless, I need to read up on them, so I have to look into finding more free magazines besides the ones I already have.
So instead, I applied to more stuff today. Decided to spread out a bit and see what editing jobs I could pick up, but I completely boned one application when I forgot to send any writing samples >_< So, yeah, I kinda felt like a twit. Beyond that, I also wrote up some lines for Reader's Digest and sent them in. Here's to hoping one goes through!
Actually, since I have one gig lined up and potentially more by announcing that I was available to do edits on Facebook, I can anticipate some starter cash in which to invest in magazines. (At least, the cheapest ones I can find :V) So I'm not too concerned about that.
Tomorrow I'm going to try and figure out how to get to some of the local events in my area so I can socialize and stuff, among with the typical other stuff.
