That passive/aggressive stance of ignoring you can drive you nuts. Still, what goes around comes around! Loved the backtracking PPS stuff! hah, me all over!menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35425528.post-46918576468765906772011-03-01T20:29:43.525+00:002011-03-01T20:29:43.525+00:00Like Patsy, I don't mind when they pay as long...Like Patsy, I don't mind when they pay as long as they do.

Ah, those were the days!<br /><br />Teresa - The one I'm talking about has a great relationship with some other authors so I obviously just rubbed her up the wrong way!

Love the PSs.<br />I've no complaints about editors and payments, except for the ed at Woman who accepted three of my stories and then later wrote to tell me they were going to stop using fiction. She could have squeezed mine in somewhere. Paying on acceptance or publication means nothing to me. I get a yes and spend the dosh before it arrives.Lynne Hackleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584150621973821344noreply@blogger.com
