Andy Newbom, co-fundador y dueño de Brew Revolution.¡Estoy super emocionada! Porque antes de empezar a trabajar, intentaba a lograr una cosa por día. Y a veces, esta cosa sería lanzar una idea para un articulo a un sitio web, revista o otra publicación.La mayoría de las veces, yo no recibía una respuesta. Cuando yo recibía un rechazo, era feliz porque por lo menos alguien me respondió!Y finalmente, un día, una editora me dijo “Sí.”

Hi. Some corrections:1- “No, esto no es una entrada política”: Suena mejor a mis oidos “No, éste no es un artículo sobre política” o “No, esto no tiene nada que ver con la política)2- … revista o otra publicación. (… revista U otra publicación)2- … esto es todo que voy a decir sobre eso ahorita. (… esto es todo LO que voy a decir sobre eso ahorita)
