Today I broke from reality and thought national magazine publications and Oprah may be interested in my story. I was in the middle of my email to O Magazine when Kate Schweitzer wrote me back.
Kate is the one of the web editors of Marie Claire. Marie Claire would be a perfect, although unexpected, publication to pick up my story. I thought it was something more that Cosmo would run with but I was thrilled.
I sat up tall and thought I pitched her well to get a response so soon. I contemplated what she could have said. What if she loved the idea and wanted me to sign a non-compete barring me from other publications. What if I signed then Oprah wrote back! I knew I should have written Oprah first! Maybe I was sending too many emails at once but I only have until April 30th!
I tried to act unaffected as I shut my laptop and reached for my blackberry. It had been a minute since the message came in so my phone screen went dark. I rolled my finger over the track ball to reveal my first big win:
"Out of Office"
