I dreamed last night I was in an argument with a faceless someone who was mad I wouldn’t print their article and pulled their ad because of it.  I’ve never had anything like that happen, it was just a quick vignette in a dream.   Today an advertiser called to downsize her ad and let me know a popular publication used an article of hers that I had previously rejected for word count.  No argument, tho, yay!  Life is such a hoot.  I’m not worried, my client mantra is – for every one I lose, a dozen more will come.

A note on word count:  Mark Twain told a publisher asking for a 300 word essay in 3 days, “In 3 days I can give you a 3000 word essay…to produce 300 words, I shall need 30 days!”
