Wayne Scheer

Notre Dame Magazine accepted, "Wayne Has Left the Building," a
nonfiction essay about my decision to take an early retirement. As
always, thanks to all who critiqued this one.

This is really an example of patience and perseverance. I wrote the piece
about a year ago and sent it out to a number of print and online publications,
ranging from AARP to Christian Science Monitor to flashquake. It was
rejected outright by all. Even my usually reliable Dana Literary Magazine
didn't want it.

Each time, I fiddled with it a bit and sent it somewhere else. Two weeks
ago, I tried Notre Dame Magazine and today the editor said she'd like to buy
it for $400. That's like real money.

This confirms my belief that publishing is a matter of connecting the work
with the right editor. Sometimes it takes a while; other times you get lucky
and it finds a home right off. Patience and perseverance. And luck.

At any rate, I feel good.
