Hi all,
So, my wife and I became proud citizens of this fair country (the Vegemite one) at the weekend, and in honour I put together 500 words for the local rag on our struggles, journey and successes so far.
They have been in touch and would like to run a piece on us using 'a few of your words' to quote the journalist. We'll catch up, have a chat and stick my mug in the paper along with the story.
The purpose of setting pen to paper was primarily to enjoy it, but... as a complete amateur I'd like to see my whole piece published as I intended it t be read.
My questions are:
Should I go with the flow, and give her permission to do what she likes, and just enjoy the experience?
Try to negotiate publishing my piece as is, with a short hello from us?
Confess that I'm a closet scribbler trying get some exposure?
.... or something else?
Thanks for any thoughts or experiences.
