Welcome to our weekend conversation!The first time I ever got paid for my writing was in my early 20s. I saw a classified listing, quite possibly in Poets and Writers, for a greeting card company. They were seeking submissions. I sent them the copy for a potential birthday card.

They sent me an enthusiastic message, along with $75.

2 weeks ago | litmagnews.substack.com | Becky Tuch

Howdy! I have here yet one more editor interview, freshly in the books!Today I had the great fun of speaking with Susanna Baird, Editor of Five Minutes. “Five Minutes explores five minutes of a life in one hundred words.”This online magazine publishes micro-memoirs. All stories need to be true. And yes, all pieces need to be exactly 100 words, not counting the title. The pieces also need to focus on five minutes in a person’s life. Susanna launched the lit mag in 2020.

April Lit Mag Brag!

Welcome to our weekend conversation!You know what happened last week? I’ll tell you. Something quite funny (as well as interesting, strange and possibly miraculous!)Many of you may recall me talking about the Law of Assumption. This is basically focusing on something you want and visualizing yourself already having that thing. It’s a way to trick your brain into “living in the end.” If your goal is to be successful, you must act as though you already are successful.
