Yes I believe my personal stories are helpful to show the readers that I've done and they can do it too. Each of us have amazing opportunities if we keep looking for them and are open to new options. Persistence and finding the right place is a critical part of the process to finding these unexpected places.<br /><br />TerryTerry Whalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422274807883053266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-88726475001568115682020-10-23T19:41:46.831-04:002020-10-23T19:41:46.831-04:00Terry, I love how you often (always?) share your o...Terry, I love how you often (always?) share your own story associated with whatever topic you are covering. You have probably read Nina Amir's Wired for Story. Between my interest in writing and anthropology, I devoured it! <br /><br />By the way, over the years I have found great opportunities hiding in unexpected places, too! <br /><br />Hugs,<br />CarolynCarolyn Howard-Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041591136206289558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-16025105213944288122020-10-23T14:48:01.783-04:002020-10-23T14:48:01.783-04:00Linda,

Most of us give up too early. the reality is it takes work to find the right place to publish our work--and it might not happen on the first or tenth submission. If you believe the piece should e published--and I hope you do because you wrote it in the first place--then you need to keep looking for that right place toTerry Whalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422274807883053266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-44680753007311509462020-10-23T13:31:37.031-04:002020-10-23T13:31:37.031-04:00Terry, your article gives hope to writers who migh...Terry, your article gives hope to writers who might not keep trying on an article or story that is rejected, and as you point out, even numerous times. A similar truth is in submitting short stories. As long as the writer is careful to follow each publication's specific guidelines, a well-crafted story can find a home. The writer just needs to keep submitting.

I love the experience you had with an article that was rejected, but eventually your old query was found by a new editor looking for stories. Even rejections can turn into work.
