The Writing Business is A Tough Business

The writing business is by no means an easy business to work in.  I’m trying to keep track of everything I submit yearly, but they don’t always get back to you easily.  I get published on Vocal Media a lot, so I have some more visibility besides this blog. You have to be into submitting stories to magazines still in business in order to get anywhere at all.  Submitting a story is easy, but hearing back takes patience.  You have to wait around, but you have to write a pitch compelling enough to make them want to respond to you.  I’m doing my best to keep my head above water financially.
