struggling

I'll admit it, I'm struggling. I want to go to NE India and write about the experience. That bit's easy. What's a bit more, no what's a lot more difficult, is getting someone who is willing to publish my scribbles.

I recently completed a freelance journalism course. Damned good course it was too. They even showed me how to pitch ideas at prospective publishers. So, I think I'm doing things right. But want to know what irritates me more than anything? What really gets on my wick? No bugger replies. I send in a quite professional pitch, all complying with their submissions guidelines and wait. It's a good job I don't hold my breath, I'd be dead three times over now. What would it cost them to say "thanks but no thanks"? I'll tell you what, nowt!
