Idea Stealers
Something that frustrates me with writing is coming up with a great idea, having it rejected, realizing that maybe it wasn't such a great idea, then seeing the great idea published by someone else, and wondering how they made it work when I couldn't. Wait that's MY idea!
Something that frustrates me more with writing is coming up with a great idea, dismissing great idea because I convince myself it isn't a great idea, and then seeing my great idea published by someone else who obviously doesn't suffer from my inferiority complex. Man, I should have sent that idea!
This has happened to me so many times lately that I am wondering if someone is in my head stealing my ideas. No, I know this isn't happening, I'm not that crazy, yet. But, a couple things could be going on here:
1. I have terrible timing. Story of my life. I am either way ahead of my time, or way behind on the times. I have yet to find a middle ground.
2. I'm pitching things in the wrong way to the wrong places. If this is it, I'm screwed 'cause I am overwhelmed by the whole where and how to send thing.
3. People (the bad editors) just don't like me. Naw, that's just not possible, to know me is to love me! LOL! And besides all editors are wonderful, terrific, super fantastic over worked human beings (a little sucking up never hurts). LOL! At least I still crack myself up.
4. I am almost there. A few more adjustments and it'll be my ideas that get published.
I choose number four. That's my answer and I sticking to it!
