Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s 【小题1】 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so 【小题2】 that I decided to write an article about her.
I 【小题3】 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 【小题4】 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 【小题5】 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 【小题6】 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 【小题7】 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 【小题8】 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 【小题9】 draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript 【小题10】 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 【小题11】 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 【小题12】 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While 【小题13】 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 【小题14】 :
Ms. Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some more relevant materials. Please 【小题15】 those and return the article immediately. We would like to 【小题16】 your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 【小题17】 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 【小题18】 writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. 【小题19】 this experience, I’ve learned a very important lesson: You can’t 【小题20】 to doubt yourself.
