Simple answer: I didn't! The photo I linked to came from Priscilla's Facebook Page!
Thanks for going to my Facebook page!
Confession time - I had never even heard tell of Redbook magazine until I read this thread. And I don't think it is available here. (Of the magazines
weakankles mentioned, "Good Housekeeping" is the only one I have heard tell of, and that is because there is a UK edition of it).
However, I have been looking for the magazine on eBay, and there are copies of it on sale there already. But, the postage to the UK is making them VERY expensive (It's a bad sign when the postage is more than double the asking price). So, I think I'll wait until a digital version is available.
It should be available within a few months.
Awww, Priscilla! Thank you for those kind words. You're making me blush!
:
What???!!! Gordeeva and Grinkov got the chop???!!!
That is not right! :disapp:
I was thinking that maybe it was because quite a bit of water has gone under the bridge since they were around (after all, it is 20 years since Sergei died). But, when current skaters were cut as well, this is clearly not the reason.
Being brutally honest, given how she is doing this season, I'm not really surprised that Liza got the cut. But
everybody loves Yuzuru and Jason, so I am surprised that they ended up on the cutting room floor as well.
I think they wanted more about life lessons and less about the skaters themselves, frankly. They kept the skaters whose stories lent themselves most effectively to real-life lessons.
Oh well. As I said before, it is an achievement in itself to get a figure skating article into a non-specialised outlet. So, I think we should be happy enough with that.
Yes- I was so excited when they told me they wanted the figure skating piece. I was shocked, and delighted!
From somebody who does not have a writing/publishing background, there is something I am wondering. If you write an article, and it gets published, does the publication now "own" the article? I mean to say, are the publishers able to prevent you from posting it on, say, your website, or your Facebook page, or
an internet forum? And if they do have a copyright over it, does that just cover the article as it was published, or the un-abridged version as well?
They have copyright. Once they put it online, I can share the link.
Just curious.
Again, thank you for the compliments, and all the best

And thanks so much for writing it.
I'm sharing it with my my FB friends & those who are not on FB but also appreciate figure skating.
