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. 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 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?" :) Funny this topic should pop up on this website.

I think it's far more noble to gain your own contacts. If I knew the writer well and had earned her trust in the past, I may ask for some assistance, but probably not the actual contacts. You're too nice, Linda! :) Wow, that really takes some nerve to ask for a writer’s contacts. I think it’s far more noble to gain your own contacts.

I feel very dumb and my cheeks are red. Thanks for this post--it was much needed in my case. I'm off to make an apology! PS Carol, I liked your post about this on your blog.
