Current mood: nervous
Current music:Blue-- The Seatblets

So I sent my project proposal to Rolling Stones, Paste Magazine and CNN Traveler. I was so nervous when I attached the links to the e-mails. I was thinking, "Oh Christ, I hope this catches someone's eye before it's too late! And I hope I didn't miss any typos!"
Seriously, I spent so many hours reading my cover letters and pieces of writing over and over and over and over again. I'm also afraid that my amateur photography will be a turn off but I explained that I need a better camera to get really good shots and I will invest in one if chosen to cover the event.
I probably won't hear anything from the magazines but it's worth a shot because I really want to go to this party and I don't want to be up to my ankles in debt if I charge the expenses. I write about parties all the time, as you guys know, and take lots of pictures so it's not like it would be anything out of the ordinary for me to cover an event, it would just mean that my writing gets published in print and not just online.

Tonight I'm sending my package to Viacom (for MTV or VH1)and Spin magazine.

Wish me luck. I need to shine brightly to stand out in the crowd of all the other people who want to write for magazines. I know my topic is really out there and that could be a blessing or a curse.

If you go fishing, the worst thing that happens is you return home with an empty basket and you have to go out and cast your net again tomorrow. ::shrugs::

We'll see what happens. I gotta to go work now.

Thanks for all the love you guys sent me. I love you guys <3
