Thank you, Jennifer, for stopping by and leaving a comment. I’m sure your sources and editors appreciate your notes. So many people nowadays don’t send thank you notes or thank you e-mails for anything. My mom used to have us four children sit down the day after birthdays, Christmas and other occasions we received gifts, and write thank you notes. I’m not always as good as I should be or as prompt as I should be…but I’m glad Mother ingrained this habit into me.

When I write magazine articles I make sure to 1) send a nice thank you card to every single source and 2) then make copies of the article when it’s published and send each source a copy of that as well. I try to do this each time. I’m behind on my last article (not good) but how it pays off is cool because almost always I get an email back from my sources saying, “Feel free to use me again” or “Here’s another source idea.” I also send thank you cards to editors but I think source relations are more important.

Thanks, Laura, for checking out this post. You left an interesting comment on the other one, as did Yvonne. I’m never sure if readers check out comments on a post and receive the additional information which often adds so much to what I’ve written. So sometimes I gather this together in a post. Thanks for adding your input
