I made a submission

It’s a Texan , magazine called The Red Pub. I got there via recommendation of nightwind292, thanks Nightwind .

Prior to this, I had never considered submitting to publications, only to my own blog. They wanted a conservative author and Nightwind nudged me over there.  I wrote an article, about 1,200 words, over the course of two days. I submitted it yesterday. Now to see if they accept it. If they don’t, I can always post it here

The main thing is that they are definitely a Houston rag and their main thing is Houston and Texas. I know Houston fairly well as my second wife (~10 years)  is a Texas Cajun from Nederland, Texas. I also have a nephew in Austin, TX. I am not a reporter and I think that the article that I submitted will make that clear. It is an Op-Ed piece.

Oh well, if they accept it it’ll be all good. I had never planned on taking the Slamlander to print before so this is a new horizon of possibilities. Frankly, I could use the experience. I have never really had to Feed the Beast before, writing to a schedule. Well, I’ve always set internal schedules, you have to if you ever want to finish a novel and I can easily drop 2,000 words per day and print articles are usually 1,000-1,500 words. However, that isn’t the same thing as meeting publication deadlines. I hope that they will take me on

Note: If this shows up twice it means that I still cannot edit and resubmit articles to LJ.

Note2: It looks like edits are once more possible When did I fix that? *sigh* I’m feeling OLD.
