I rang 'The Big G', eventually, after another half an hour of sitting staring at my phone like it was an alien object. Or a bomb. It turns out... I sent my story to the wrong person. So, attempt number two is now firmly underway, and hopefully I've found the right woman this time. I'm now gearing up early to make another terrifying phone call on Monday...
Phew, all this pitching stuff is blinkin' hard work, physically and emotionally. I'm quickly understanding that being a journalist involves very little writing and lots of running around like a crazy person and very big phone bills. And lots of emails. Endless emails. I'm seriously considering having my computer surgically attached. Especially now that I have one so wonderfully itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny.
Yes, my computer dilemma is, touch wood, resolved. He is tiny, blue and light as a feather. I've named him Sparky.

I love how your computer is about the same size as my portable DVD player. I thought I was going significantly smaller (17" HP to 13" MacBook) but geez, that that is tiny! I like the 13 inches though. It's light enough to not be an inconvenience. And I can still have Microsoft Word AND Blogger up on the same screen. That was key in my decision making. How do you like yours so far, other than the size factor. Is it Windows or Linux?
