Cranking up ideas for sailing articles while at anchor...we can write anywhere.
Setting sail for new adventures...
As I’ve told my students, and quoting O’Henry, “Stories are everywhere.” Up for a sail on Lake Texoma aboard my sloop, the Whispering Wave, I ogled an eye catching pirate ship, “The Compass Rose,” a restored wooden ship.
A phone call or two later I spent the afternoon with her owners and gathered photos and stories for a magazine article.
Compass Rose, restored wooden pirate ship on Lake Texoma.

Features that move the reader
Magazines can take me out of town and around the state.
Sometimes it’s writing humorous sailing anecdotes for Latitudes & Attitudes;
Sometimes it’s profiling Texas icons like the Steam Boat Yellowstone, “the boat that saved Texas” for western lore in Wild West;
Sometimes it may be telling the Fort Worth story to visitors through Fort Worth TX magazine;
And other times it’s capturing glimpses of Texans and their ways, hideouts and hangouts—life along the back roads and by-ways of Texas cities and towns--for American Cowboy.
