After my nagging feeling to submit an Opinionated Essay for the publication after months, I finally came up with my first draft. Not sure of the reception of another attempt of being published so I’m writing something that will get strong reactions that are truthful and meaningful. Plus, it’s been therapeutic.
The criteria is to write with impact and with strength although some that I’ve read aren’t. To me, the essayists must be regulars with the paper to get the privilege.
After print, I expect that I will hear from others who have different opinions but not the same experience. The little voice that I hear will then quieted on this thing but the other one is alive and well.
If you have written an opinionated essay for the New York Times or any other news organization, I’m interested in your experience.
Thank you,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
Update: Idea sent today. Waiting for response.
