Coin A Phrase

by yankee1227

As someone who has been editing/publishing a coin club monthly magazine since 1998, I can attest to this fact: if you want to find out just how good you are at writing articles, try staring at half a dozen blank magazine pages that still need filling while facing a publishing deadline that's only a few days away. Articles which I've written during such stressed-out mad-rush panic-button conditions have been... interesting, to say the least, but I've discovered that they're also the articles that the club members most often give me positive feedback about.

I just started my blog! It's url is: http://cointhatphrase.blogspot.com

Is anyone interested in getting a print newsletter?

I sent you an email sralloway. Anybody else want a print issue?

Newsletters can be fun, but they can also be a drag. I'm here right now when I should be finishing up our local club newsletter. Been doing it for eight years now and writing articles for it for sixteen years.

I like Buddy's suggestion about the 10 pieces and standing back to see the direction in which it's going. I also like the blog idea, but quite seriously I don't go around searching for blogs. Internet is possibly the best way to tackle issues to do with photographs. If there's one thing I hate about printed material it's the pictures, because they are not very true to the object being shown. It gets pixelated, and there are color issues for the ink, glare from the ink, and by the time it ends up on paper the image is changed so much. I would rather have a direct link to an image (even though it uses pixels, but what doesn't-). Internet allows it to be more interactive - people can have follow-up questions by e-mail and can do their own research to back up your claims.
