Hello. Are yo [sic] the same Suzanne Reisman who wrote the column in today's Metro? If so, nice job! And may I ask you a few questions about it, please? I'm asking first so that I don't send a bunch of dirty words to someone who won't appreciate them. Thanks.No, don't send me a bunch of dirty words. I promise that I will not appreciate them, either. (Note to family and friends: I am not worried about being stalked. Yet.) I am looking forward to seeing if anyone sends any letter to the editor at Metro about my column.
On the downside, I had two rejections for other articles. One was a rejection by neglect from the New York Times for an op-ed that I carefully crafted about fixing the child care system. They say if you don't hear from them in a week, you can move on. Well, it's been about a week (I sent it last Friday at 3 pm or so) and no word. Feh.
The other is another rejection on what I consider my comedy of errors masterpiece about my breast reduction surgery. So it goes.
On the plus side, I am making very good progress on another article. If all goes well, that will appear online at the end of November. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also, my mom left a comment on a previous post that is busting me up. I will have to use the phrase "whim-wham" from now on. Brilliant. Like mother, like daughter.
Congrats on the new article. can i send you dirty words?

ReplyDeleteThat's the name of your new action tv show.
Suzanne takes New York by storm!
ReplyDelete"dirty words to someone who won't appreciate them." That's your problem, Suzanne. You just don't appreciate nice things like porn from creepy strangers.
I L-O-V-E-D your article! It was so interesting and I think the fact that it was written by a woman, makes it that much more powerful, because lets face it...if a man wrote it, how many people would be saying sarcastically, "A guy is advocating for more porn? How interesting..." You know what I'm saying? So to see that its not just guys that are interested in porn, but that its a type of media that can be enjoyed by all is really interesting. My only problem with the article itself is that it's too small! LOL...still, keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeletei don't know... whim-wham... is it the front or the back?
ReplyDeleteTo Minnie: Whim-wham is the front. I just made it up in my excitement when Suz told me about her fantastic discovery.
ReplyDeleteI just like that they assumed if you were who they thought you were, that you would just love to have a bunch of dirty words sent to you. Nice!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot-did the creepy, dirty-word stranger at least call you Suzanne?
