-- Quote of the Day --  “As a writer you can make a huge difference even if your readers are just your grandchildren. …With writing there are a lot of other people discouraging you along the way; everybody makes it sound so impossibly difficult – but it really is a matter of letting go of your inhibitions. …I take writing really seriously; I try to be entertaining and make you laugh - I think humor is really important. …You sit in the dark room and you think ‘Is this any good?’ …I’m a fan of technology I think it is a great tool, but I don’t think we want to be a slave to that tool. …Especially with magazines in particular, they are always looking for something new, some new trend, some new destination, so you have to be creative. …When you make a pitch you have to come up with a unique twist, and convey a real passion for the topic, and you have to get that across in less than 4 paragraphs. …You have to nail it quick and get their attention in the first paragraph. ...
