It's been echoing in my head like a mantra since I read it yesterday. Good for you for holding your ground (and your tongue - I'm the same way! :) Please do let us know how it goes!

I was too angry and annoyed to speak, and life has taught me it's wise for me to hold my tongue when I'm ripping mad. Piper, I didn’t say anything at the moment.

Maybe a GOOD assignment will result. Either way, good for you - feels SO right to turn that stuff around! Did you also remind the editor that you no longer take that kind of work?

They can't do the project the way I envisioned it -- I also didn't give them everything they needed to pull it off. ;-) Does that make any sense?

I mean, isn't that kinda crappy that YOU brought the initial magazine the idea, and they, in essence, took it from you to develop the way THEY wanted? Shouldn't you get some compensation for coming up with the brilliant idea? That said, if you think you can make more and being happier developing the idea elsewhere, I guess you can't ask for $$ for magazine #1, and then make MORE money off the same idea?
