I would have to say this is an awfully informative post that needs mentioning elsewhere. This is for 2 types of people:current writers who are considering a new craft,and people trying to decide to become a writer. I really enjoyed this!

One a month would be a lot for me at this point. Right now I'm focused only on Highlights, since I'm writing pieces targeted specifically for sections they run. Wow Sharon, that’s a great goal!

I have fond memories of Highlights. I feel I should pick up a copy again and see what they're up to. Great place to submit to. I keep a nice stack of rejection letters in my drawer, for some reason it doesn't discourage me, it reminds me and motivates me to keep trying. Good luck with your new submission.

Here's a visit back, with a note that in the first writing class I ever took, the teacher told us all to just go out and submit something to the New Yorker right away. "You know you're a writer if you've got a rejection letter from the New Yorker, so you might as well get it now," she said. Kind of liked that idea, of just getting it over with!! I think you did a great job with your resolutions this year, keeping it to things you can really control. Good luck! Madelyn ;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Kara,
