It Happened to Me: I Wrote an Article for XOJane

A cell phone picture of my article about the internet for my internet weblog blog post about my article about the internet.

Last week, on a whim, I pitched an article idea to my favorite website, XOJane.  Now, a week later, the article is live.  It’s been a long morning of anxious clicking and scrolling, emotional highs (people like what I wrote!), and lows (I didn’t know people would be so mean!  How did I not know that?  I wrote about that!).  Thanks to everyone who read my piece.

Some clarification, for those who are interested: The Ex is not hipster scum.  He isn’t scummy at all.  He’s just a guy who ended a relationship and had the misfortune of being turned into a meme and then written about on a lady-targeted website.  He’s aware of the article and he’s been calm and cool about it, which speaks volumes for his character.  He can be reached on Twitter if you want further information on his roving typist project.
