If I Get Asked To Do One More Of These
Yes, I am incredibly excited when I receive any form of correspondence from an editor, stylist, publisher or even a sweatshop employee, but the number of writing tests I have taken is absurd.
They are frustrating because I get really involved in these “sample stories” knowing they aren’t for print but just for the editors to get a feel for my writing style. But more than anything, I am excited about the opportunity and that I have grabbed the attention of an editor. Whenever I lose motivation to work on these not-for-print stories I remind myself that making my bed and buying Swifter wipes to clean Ben’s apartment were the highlight of my day.
Writing test #5 here we go….
I have a lot in the works right now, a lot of things brewing. Hopefully I will get some definitive answers soon.
