I bet we were on the same forum! LOL! Yes, this is the type of laziness I’m talking about. I know there are times when new writers are confused and ask the seemingly stupid questions, when in fact they really mean, “HELP!” Those are easy to spot. But the ones that drill you for more and more info? LAZY!

Several people answered with resources.

But chickie wanted names and addresses of editors and publications.

Do your own research, honey — we have no idea what you’re writing or what the quality is – from the amount of mistakes in the post, I’d say it’s not so great!

I’ve stopped frequenting several forums because there are too many lazy newbies who aren’t willing to do their own homework, and I’m sick of it.
