Sorry everyone, but I really need to vent.  I have submitted a few things to a show for contributions and the editor has shot me down.  I know that I’m no rocket science and I’m defiantly not going to be winning a Pulitzer Prize anytime in my life.  The thing that is really getting me all worked up is that this show is one of my favorites.  I want to contribute to the site to maybe turn other people to it.  I love the whole TV.com website.  I talk to people that like the same shows that I like.  Sometimes we argue, but more often then not I agree with everyone, but we always have great conversations.  I mean this one editor has shot me down for spelling on episode recaps and has flat out denied me on episode quotes.  I have emailed him to ask what the problem with my stuff is and he told me to resubmit it.  Then after sending it to him again, it is denied again for spelling.  After the second time was denied I emailed him and asked for examples, he then asked me to email him a copy of the recap to his email so he can check the spelling again.  This time I have not heard from him again.  I always spell check everything because I was public schooled in a small farm town, and English was never my strong subject.  Like I said I know that I will never win a Pulitzer or even a sixth grade spelling bee, but I don’t have any ideas as to what to do.  This editor complains about other editors just approving everything and not double checking all of the facts.  He sits on his soap box and talks about how no one is paying attention to details and here I take the time to write this recap for the site and he gives me the business. 

            What do I do know.  I have hit a brick wall and I don’t have the motivation to keep going with the site.  I need advice and help.  Please!!!!!!

Don't get too freaked out about rejections..it's part of the nature about contributing. I would PM the editor and ask what the flaw in your recaps is..is it the spelling or something like punctuation, grammar, etc. ? If it's just spelling, spellcheck it repeatedly. If it's something else, talk to him/her about what the problem is...most good editors don't turn down recaps without good cause.

Keep at it and be patient...don't get downbeat over this....

Keep trying. I have submited a bunch of stuff to Naruto and the editor has rejected most of it so I say to myself "The more they reject the more I am going to submit"
