yeah if it's not regular shifts, sounds like they're just dragging their feet at doing their side of the work in getting your pitches in, figuring out what kind of stories they need etc. i'd say ping them again sometime this week, maybe if you want to go above and beyond include a few ideas for your first pieces -- not full pitches, just like one-sentence hits so they know you're thinking about angles.
sorry not rafi but did they give you a start date? is it a day rate kinda thing or pay-per-piece?
"sorry, not rafi" is how you should start all your sentences
No specific start date! But it seemed like they were eager to get me writing immediately. It's pay-per-piece (at a decent rate I'd say).
