Thank you, Mesa! The NYT is a nut I've been trying to crack for a while now. I'm going to try your formula and see what happens! You deserve both of your pubs there. I'm going to message you a newer section they just started recently.
Yes, I sent you a message via Substack. Hopefully I did it right. It includes the top secret email address of the editor for that section. He rejected my first attempt, but I shall try again.
Mesa ♥️ I love how you share your experience with your readers. And I love how you credit Jeannine. Thank you for lifting us all up, and congrats again!
Thank you, Monika!! I truly appreciate your support 😍😍 I can’t not credit her, I fully believe I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her and everything I’ve learned in WITD ❤️❤️

Thank you for this and your “formula!” I am inspired to mine my library of work for a piece that would fit:)
Hooray!! 😃
Congratulations on this! I love micro essays, haven't tried my hand at one in ages and appreciate so much the reminder of how powerful they can be!
Thank you!! 😍😍😍
Mesa, can I have the link to your second TLS? I'd love to read it.

Absolutely, Mesa… thanks for this. I’m going to try it… writing in small containers…what a fun challenge! Hugs and Happy long weekend! 🤗🤗🤗🥰
YAYYYY!!! Best of luck to you, Joan!! 😍😍
This was so powerful, Mesa. It jumped out at me:
"I have been challenged to write in smaller ways, creating something big in a small container."
I’m so glad!! Thank you, Jeannie!!
Thanks! Not sure what else there is to tell? What would you like to know?
