Reason #495 Why I'll Never Make A Living Writing

So, the other night, in lieu of having a social life, I decided to work on my next column for Derby Gal Magazine*. I finished what I thought was a marginally decent column and submitted it to my editrix. She wrote back that she liked it, but she wanted me to add an additional 200 words so that it would fill a whole page.


My first thought was "Couldn't you just use a bigger font?"

My second thought was "I wonder if she'd notice if I slipped in a couple hundred 'really, really, really, really's..."


*If you haven't subscribed already, you should, the first issue is out already and, aside from the fact that it's chock full of derby goodness, you can read my first column
