Pitching Stories Update

And last news for the day. . . as far as magazine writing goes. . . which I am of course trying to be better about doing:

1) I have promised one editor (with whom I had lunch ten days ago) a paragraph pitch which I have half written, and need to get done asap. Hmm, I'll give myself a deadline of tomorrow.

2) I heard today from a magazine to which I sent my CV and clips a few weeks ago that they would like to assign me a story (on how opening parks up to personal water craft -- read jetskis -- has helped tourist revenue), so that's fun. I am pretending that this is like travel writing. :-)

3) I also am setting myself a deadline for contacting zoogoer magazine -- just to say hey ho and can we meet to discuss what your needs are -- of tomorrow.

4) I also need to investigate a little more on a story I want to pitch to Discover.
