i like to do an artical plan so i dont get side tracked or go over old points.

draft it out like a story line of a movie.

SHORT INTRODUCTION STORY

INTRODUCE SUBJECT

INFO AND FACTS TO FILL OUT STORY

CLIMAX

CONCLUSION/RESOLUTION

editors love supporting pics.

get someone else to double check grammer and spelling.

Check with the editor about the text format required, photo resolution and captions.

Also, make sure all info is correct and legal- just been reading the latest fishing WA mag and they are promoting more hooks on a line than is legal over here, which for a mag is wrong. Would love to hear the argument when fisheries check gear and they are useing 5 gang hooks as suggested in the mag

i just have a notepad where i scratch out random bits and pieces and then i build on the original idea and incorporate other things ive scratched out. my biggest failure is my photography. but im gonna do a couple of photography courses and buy a decent camera
