In the morning there was no message and the interview went great when I arrived.
Why Didn't I Call The Day Before?!
Right.
My contact was not there, although I did speak with him by the office’s phone as he was driving northward to a destination 2 hours away. We had to reschedule. Had I called in the morning the day before - when I listed to do so in my own calendar - I would have used that time for a different project.
I mention this experience as both a public admonishment to myself and to prompt my readers who are writers to be vigilant in their confirmations for interviews. Of course, I took the time to check out a restaurant nearby that I had written about a few years ago but never tried their breakfasts. Lemons always have some lemonade in them.
