Tired: 5G is a tool for the government to control your mind. Wired: 5G is divine and that’s a good thing!
Just like so many others drawn to write for a living, I was convinced that there was an industry-wide conspiracy working to make sure I couldn’t get published. Every ghosting felt personal. Then, during my first (and only) office job, as a fellow at Wired, I peaked over my editor Peter Rubin’s shoulder and saw his inbox — there were about 200 new pitches that afternoon. That’s when I realized that it’s not personal. That’s also when I became the annoying freelancer who followed up after two days instead of two weeks. Can’t say I recommend that, but I figured: I’d rather be annoying than lost in an inbox.
