It needs to fit in with their design and space and what I had written originally was just too long. I didn't really have a word allowance for the first piece so it needed editing down<br /><br />I think I just have to accept that a magazine will edit things to fit into their space etc. and I think that the basics of the article are still there. I do worry that it ended up reading quite fragmented rather than flowing and also that the danger of short pieces is that it ends up as very "Daily Mai"l - little detail and all sensational assertions.<br /><br />I now have a clear specification from them - 500 words for the article and 150 for the exercise part - so I am working on that basis. I've already sent i the next one almost exactly to those word counts, so it will be interesting to see what comes out.<br /><br />By necessity at that word count there will not be the detail but that is the nature of the beast. <br /><br />Chris, do I have your email address?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-70750436998565660672011-06-15T20:39:17.349-07:002011-06-15T20:39:17.349-07:00Chris comparing the article with the above I can s...Chris comparing the article with the above I can see how some editing took place! Have you considered asking if they can ditch the photo above the text? I would have thought that would give you a few hundred more words. I realise you may have to keep it especially with pics of exercise demos in future articles and what have you, just a thought.Chris Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-89917956599217852202011-06-14T23:55:59.919-07:002011-06-14T23:55:59.919-07:00I have a full-time job and a family, too, so I can...I have a full-time job and a family, too, so I can relate. On point <b>Minimal</b> I'm not sure that <i>our</i> category prioritizes the minimization of effort. It's the time commitment that's the <i>rate-limiting</i> step, I believe.
