Incredibly unprofessional by The Bridge (Chicago) & editor Michael Workman, who accepted a story I had submitted last year, ghosted me without follow-up, and then rejected the piece AFTER I had withdrawn it from other journals - wasting time, effort, and resources. (See reply)
It’s amazing to me that anyone in sports media gets paid. I have never cared about a single thing anyone on espn had to say during or after games. Just let the athletes play. The talking heads are just noise.
Sold out before I was even half-way through the queue.😭
Zada was my first deck I built myself, and Barge is my fav artist, and I was so excited for this...
Now I'm gonna be at the mercy of scalpers... kinda heartbroken ngl.
Wizards please do print on demand, I beg.
One thing I’ve learned from selling TCG that sports card people would be wise to consider is that there are many kinds of buyers. Stuff will sell at market to collectors and even if selling at market reduces volume, the increase in margin might mean profits are the same.
If a journal sends you a personal rejection (names work they were considering) for your first submission and then waits 8 months to respond to your second submission (listing their response time as 3 months) only to send a stock rejection, how are you feeling?
Studying craft is simultaneously empowering and alienating. You learn how to make your writing sturdier, more capable of reaching others, but you also realize you have to remove accidence from the work, the private sphere that, when we draft, feels so potent.
It finally happened yesterday. We were all playing with a baby and then came then “When are you two going to get busyyy and pop one out?!” and I firmly said, “When we quit losing them.” and the crowd fell silent. Don’t ask questions in which you aren’t prepared for the answer!
