I am writing after a long time as I was caught up in the rat race of the corporate world. But now I have earned a little vacation time (less than a week) after toiling hard for past six months. Last six months were memorable for me both professionally and personally. I had numerous noteworthy experiences and would definitely want to draft them and now that I can’t take go back to the past (Though noteworthy, trust me, I wouldn’t want to revisit some of the things that happened to me over these six months) I will write more about the momentous months of my life in my later posts.
Enough about the past, let’s get to the present. (Singing: Past is the past, let it go let it go).
I along with my partner in crime, Mycroft had written a technical article for a famous tech magazine. This is my first article to get published. I was proud to see my name in the author’s column and we were supposed to receive a small amount of money as a token of appreciation. Our article was published in the April’s Edition of the magazine and we patiently waited for the whole month and kept staring at our bank statements now and then for the sight of “credit” transfer from the magazine. April passed, and nothing happened. Then we didn’t lose hope but got busy with our work and college.
Today, I just remembered about our prize money and then we planned on mailing the editor regarding the same. Just to be sure, we checked our bank statements and there it was – our first literally literary pay, a decent amount for first-timers. Just under this credit transaction, there was another credit transaction from the company I was working, and both the credit amounts had an enormous difference in money. But the money received from writing gave me more satisfaction.
I tried hard to find a synonym to the word “Pay” that starts with the letter “L” but I failed. If anyone reading my post find it, please leave a comment. Thanks!
Fin.
