Too bad you're a lady. I once got a kiss off rejection from the new managing editor of the Virginian Pilot, whom I'd written a nice welcoming letter and pitch for an interview. A few days after getting his printed rejection slip I had a few too many, then took his letter and wrote in felt pen across the page, Kiss My Ass! I mailed it to him. I was never again seriously considered for a job there, altho friends who worked there told me my letter had become something of a legend. Made me feel a little better.

ReplyDeleteMy ultimate (and inevitable) success will drive them all crazy. Moreover, it'll make them look small-time (which they are!)
