Hello,

Sorry for the two pennies-worth on what’s probably a closed thread by now, but I’m catching up on my blog reading… felt pretty compelled to comment (though, sorry, it’ll be a rather ‘nod-and-agree-with-most-people’ exercise).

I’ve been pretty phone-phobic, so I understand the really unecessary fear you can feel. But I’m amazed that even though this writer didn’t want to/didn’t have the courage to ring the pub itself, he still found the nerve to email someone he didn’t know and ask them for such info? Wow.

Anyway, total Karma …said dude didn’t get the information he wanted in the end, much less a valuable assignment.

Also, he really *should* have said thank you. Common decency, and all that.

Karen, I’m glad you told her how to find ME before you got all hard-assed on her! ;-> Too funny.

Funny this topic should pop up on this website. I recently made a comment on Linked In following a query from a group about “what are you going to do in 2010 for your writing career?”. I mentioned that I would be participating in L.F.’s Writing for Magazines class, as well as her tele-classes, and that I would be taking two classes at UCLA extension, and so on. I received a note in my LI mailbox from “Jane” – how do I find Linda Formichelli? I sent her the link to Linda’s website. Then she wrote me again asking how could she find UCLA extension? I wrote her again suggesting that she Google UCLA. I wanted to say what my mother used to tell me – “look it up!”. Or what I really felt like saying was “how about I write the articles for you too?”

Eric, good luck with your query.

Thanks, Mary…sometimes I AM too nice.
