Not Aiden?<br /><br />Regarding The People's Friend, you have to remember that the magazine receives hundreds of stories every week. There could be any number of reasons why your story wasn't successful this time. Must writers receive many rejections before they have a success so please don't be disheartened, Edna. We have to be very thick skinned! My advice is to read the guidelines well, read a few of the magazines to ensure what your writing fits with it and try, try, try again.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-67774378517467234542017-07-17T17:48:25.938+01:002017-07-17T17:48:25.938+01:00Maybe it's time to go back, Rosemary!Maybe it's time to go back, Rosemary!Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-79232177804196145192017-07-17T17:47:58.276+01:002017-07-17T17:47:58.276+01:00We did pick a great week didn't we, John. sorr...We did pick a great week didn't we, John. sorry we didn't manage to meet up.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-38513180604084057292017-07-17T17:47:21.830+01:002017-07-17T17:47:21.830+01:00you're very welcome, April.

Poldark is filmed in st Austell and Charleston. I actually stayed in the hotel where some of the cast had stayed and was told who had slept in the room I was using. The debate here hinges around who makes the best Cornish pasties as many claim that fame. However I received my first rejection from PF today and wondered what was wrong with it, me and do not know how to move forward as I just had a dismissive email. Can you help?
