Rant about Activate. Three days late.

I'm annoyed. With myself. For my ridiculous and completely unfounded inability to stop sending articles to Activate and MOVE ON.

As explained to Sim: they seem to be making the most ridiculous editorial decisions about what is worth publishing. And its not that I'm annoyed because they didn't print my story....its the fact that I continue sending stories to the kind of newspaper that doesn't print that kind of story. Subtle, but crucial difference.
They were completely justified. They didn't have space, and needed stories with pictures. And its the kind of newspaper that they are. So I'm not blaming them. I'm blaming myself.

Why doesn't someone teach us about marketing. I am so very, very bad at it.

My sympathies, Luke. As I SMSed to you earlier, I'll happily put your story on the Activate website, as long as it's still valid. Hasn't the registrar pulled all exams off June 16?
