Yeah, and one problem is that it's very hard to "query" a Me'n'Joe. How do you propose such a piece? "I'd write pretty stuiff about sunrises and how we fell about killing a deer with my best buddy." Hmm.
So often the best way is just to write it and send it in, and if we're already writing technical stuff we KNOW will sell, it's hard to take the time.
But that's how I broke into the business, almost 35 years ago: Writing huntin' and fishin' storiesand sending them to various magazines. It beats the heck out of work!
