I do freelance writing. Some of the writing I do needs to be positive and also not sound promotional. It's something I got feedback on to learn. It is surprisingly hard to be positive and genuine and hit the right note. It is possible that a first time attempt, with presumably no constructive feedback, just didn't come across as smoothly as what you were shooting for.

Also, I got interviewed in July by a reporter who sought me out. No article has materialized. I kind of suspect it got killed. So even if they come to you, it may not get published. It was a national paper. I get piddling amounts of traffic. I am incredibly bummed and have no idea what to do. I thought it would get published and make a big difference in my life.
