I
am somewhat of a slow burner, I think it is because I try to do so much
I end up running around like a headless chicken. For years I have said
to myself I should try & get into magazines but I never quite got
round to it. I would put it of till I had more time in January (&
because I don't like rejection) & every year the month would come
& go without me doing all the little jobs I had stored in my head.
But
this year I actually got round to it. I send off emails & pictures
to about five different home magazines & to my surprise I actually
got a reply from Period Homes & Interiors. They said they would put
me in the May or June issue. So I got on with life, then in May I went
to the newsagent to see if we were in, & we were not. So I waited
till June & made the trip to the shop all excited thinking it is
going to be in this time, but it was not! I ended up ringing the
magazine to see what had happened, their reply was that I had appeared
in the May issue, which of course had come out in April so I had missed
it! Typical I missed out on telling all the mums at the school gate
& hovering about in the newsagents so I could exclaim loudly to
everyone who would listen that I had some of my work in a magazine. Oh
well there is always the doctors or dentists surgery, it is bound to
turn up in some of the old magazines piles somewhere. So next time you
have an appointment keep an eye out!
