So yesterday as I went down the list calling, emailing, following up and emailing once again, it truly was the BIG day. Today I did my last follow-ups hoping that if I could just get one, my goal would have been met, and my boss would have been proud of me.
Well for starters, I had just gotten a new haricut, so I felt good already as I began to make my follow-up calls. One-by-one, they didn’t have a sure response for me, which was antagonizing, for me at least. When it had come down to my last few outlets my luck changed . . . literally.
WB-33, a WB affiliate, had gotten the press release and seemed interested in sending someone out there but didn’t know for sure. So as I called them and asked for the lineup of stories they were going to cover that day, I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard my story on that list!!! They were coming
It was hard to keep my happiness inside but as soon as I got off the phone I was thrilled. Soon after that, I got an email from my boss telling me that an article I had written was going to be in the Dallas Morning News!!! Too much exciting news for one day… not.
Overall, what a day. I had news stations coming to our event, one of my articles was going to be seen by thousands in a big-city newspaper, then found out I was going to be sent on another trip to Beaumont next week, simply enough . . . I’m grateful.
