    I   38   Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career. She   39   and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I   40   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   41  , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that  42  

 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The   43   was almost unbearable. I struggled for days   44   draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

Dear Ms Profit,

Shocked, it took me a long time to   52  . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53   writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54  , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t
