Round-n-round we go (to hell?)

Occasionally I’ll write up an LTE (Letter to the Editor, if you’re not into abbreviations) to one of the various local print publications, and occasionally they’ll get printed. The problem with the process though is that it’s all so slow… a writer will usually spend a few days on an article with research, writing, etc. [...]
