I thought that working in the world of publishing would be more interesting...especially in my department, but unfortunately it's not so exciting--especially when you are all the way down on the toddem pole. Since being back at work this week it's been boring, nothing to do but update the media database, contact writers at various newspapers and magazines to make sure they still exist and their positions haven't changed (well if they have, hopefully for the better unlike a sad story that happened to me)
I wasn't sure when I should bring out this story but maybe nows a good time to tell you just a little of what happened to me right when I started working here. I was hired knowing by my boss that I didn't have too much work experience, but since I am motivated (or should i say "was motivated") and driven they loved me...how could you not? I was hired!! Weeks later, I was called into the publisher's office and told that my position would change due to my lack of experience...they felt that I should have started from the bottom up rather then start at the top with those who had more experience. Sadly, I was demoted.
I'll continue this posting a little later, I need to get back to work.

wow... sounds depressing... Don't worry. A lot of writers start bad... Even the most famous ones now had a hard time selling their first story/wtv... and now their on top! Ur time will come!
Hey AMK,
Thanks!! It was hard to start off in the industry especially not knowing anyone, and basically doing it all on my own. Now that I am working with authors its been a little hard to find motivation to work on my second book...I hope it will come to be sooner than later.
