@Meg,

I've never done a multiple submit for op-ed either, and like you, I've wound up putting work on Huff Po because of the timeliness factor. Would love to know how others deal with this.

Thanks Anna! I think editing is the most mysterious and surprising part of the process for green writers. Inspiration and creation are only half the story, in my experience. Editing is the other half.

Julija, I liked your post on editing. I find taking editorial responses seriously is important, even if you don't sway with every comment. I'm revising an essay for anthology because the editors want it to start further in and end up 1000 words shorter and because I can see how tightening it up might work.

I wrote a piece about my feelings regarding a certain F-word, memories of my Grandpa--the breaking wind type noises he'd make at the table, comforting me during lightning storms, sneaking donuts, his death, and how he taught me to fight. Like a big black bear.

 

It's an essay about life, love, strength, and fear: In My Life.

Ah, editing! If your ego gets too big, here's the thing to nip it in the bud. A new blog post on the editing process and humility: http://julijasukys.com/

Yes, you can -- and sometimes should -- say, "NO!" to your mother. Read "Baseball Granny, You're Out." http://ning.it/j6NuXu

A question on pitching for op-ed pages: Do you multiple submit? So many of them say not to, and yet some of the oped-type stuff I write becomes untimely very quickly... I've been following the no-multiple submit edict ... with the end result that I end up throwing things up on the Huffington Post at the last minute because it's getting to be untimely.

 

And if you do submit to Op Ed pages, where do you have success?
