AC had a front page showcase article right up on the top: 10 Things You Should Never Lick. Even before reading it, the eye-catching title begged for an article on 10 Things You Should Always Lick. I read the article, which was rather gross or little boy type of humor. As I started listing my 10 things (lollipops...) my mind took the rebuttal article in a totally different direction. I thought it was a great article and I submitted it for pay~hoping to get equal time, showcased. There was just a small voice in the back of my mind reminding me not to get too hopeful~the AC editors might reject it. But I knew it was a good one.
Imagine my surprise when I got rejected the same day I submitted it. There is usually a two week wait time from submission to offer or rejection, making me doubly disappointed. I published without pay and have had some decent comments about it. I no longer beg family and friends to read my articles, helping to earn me some spare change. I begged on this one, hoping to get so many pageviews the AC editor that rejected might take notice of the article and realize even a lousy $3.00 (lowest pay offered for articles) payout would have been a good investment.
Still beggin' for page views, will you please read it and leave a comment. Pretty please with ice cream on top. Thank you.
