Hmm, quite a few of your guidelines seem to revolve around your ego. Is that really what an editor should be making their decision on?

The truth is, a lot of the best writers are um, not the most delightful social butterfly diplomats. Well, ok, jerks.

It seems an editor should be focused on finding those articles that best serve their readers, and look to friends and family for those cuddly feelings we all need.

Hi Mary,

Now that I read the post I know that not long time ago I acted like John. This is one of of those mistakes that help me grow big. With this in mind thank you for writing this comprehensive post. It helped me realize how important is not to assume and take consideration of all emotional aspects of a relationship.

Thank you.

Mary-

You as a person intrigue me. I shall now go devour everything you’ve written and skew your traffic stats. :)

I am also a psychotherapist, interested in alternative methods and have a “babybloglet” wherein I hope to combine the eco craze and holistic wellness with many different methods.

I will write, write, write in an attempt to summarize the trends + my voice without vampirization.

Thank you in advance for any interest I may have piqued!

What a great post! Thank you for this. I never even considered the possibility of pitching article ideas to the blog-world. I’m wondering — is this a good way to get a mini-portfolio going that I could then market to agents in the future? I know many agents like to see writing samples. I only accidentally stumbled across this blog, but I’ve bookmarked it and will definitely come back. Thanks again!

I love the advice! I am going to try and write some guest posts, but I haven’t decided which blog to write for yet. I am also going to try out Scribd to see if I can get noticed in the writing community. Thanks for the post and I will definitely be back to read more.
