Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s     filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so     that I decided to write an article about her.

I     Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career .She     and told me to come to her Studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of mind. I     I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there     , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…?” I soon realized that     Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The     was almost unbearable. I struggled for days     draft（草稿）after draft. Finally I put my manuscript（手稿）into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript     . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I    

in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t     the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While     my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in     :

Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some     materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to     your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to     . Fear of rejection cost me greatly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of     writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. Looking back on this     , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t     to doubt yourself.
