Well I am fed up this week. I have 9 rewrites sitting in my box. Evergreen articles should not have any reference to a year and so forth. I understand this. So I right 11 list articles that I was new to writing. The first one came back with requests, which I did because I was new to this type. Now, I know what I am doing with list artilces. SO I THOUGHT
One editor sends back two restaurant articles and wants prices and dishes served at each restaurant. Prices change like the weather and so does the menu at fine dining places. I had listed a speicalty dish at each one and felt comfortable with that being set in stone as always being served dish.
However, the other two went through with no problems with no prices and the editor said that I did great. The other ones are hotels, and one editor wants to know who says the hotel is rate 4 stars and the 5 star. Also wants more about the hotel, when I was told by the next editor not to write about the hotel, but about attractions nearby. GEEZ
Then I have one about things to see in ???. I wrote about things that are popular and I am so sorry but they are free to do. This editor wants to have pay things to do. WTF.
The other ones are about articles, which I had mastered and now feel like I have never written one before.
I have never had this many rewrite requests in an entire month much less 2 days. I understand your frustration, but these editors have to be on the same page. I also cannot get through to help desk.
Sorry for venting, but it felt good.
