Thread: Hows about that

Well done!

Which issue(s) of Overlander?

May

Probably doesn't mean much to some.....but my goal of learning to photograph was to get my pics into a magazine.

Now it never may happen again, but the thing for me is it has happened!

I really hope I can make it happen again.

Cool, will keep an eye out for it and as you say, hopefully this will lead to bigger things

Have you thought about sending in the Kakadu report to any of the magazines here (after a spell check of course!)

I didn't spell anything wrong in the above post did I?

And no not thought of sending to magazines here, who would be interested in two no bodies going to kakadu in a landrover here?

Nah, just the grammar lol

If you read some of the trip articles in those mags, I reckon 1/2 of them are by average folks. People here found the Kakadu report interesting, Landrover Enthusiast found it interesting, so why wouldn't other people find stories of your travels interesting?

Hey I know my grammar is bad.

I have to say though I feel a hell of a lot better about it after reading a few peoples posts on here lately. People can at least read what I'm writing, most of the time.

You know what is funny though. I was stressing about sending my report to the magazine as I stressed to him that my grammar was bad, I said I was going to have someone proof read and correct it first. His reply was don't we like the story more so because of the way it is written! as it was REAL and it read like a real experience. So it couldn't of been that shocking (in saying that the version I gave them had been adjusted a little in the grammar deparment thanks to the windows grammar check)

I have been told that I write as though I speak. I also had someone tell me that if your never sure how to write something grammatically correct then write how you would say it. Thats probably my problem I speak British slang

Well done got to be happy about it.

Well done

I no longer subscribe to LRE (too many ad's and the cost) but it's usually in the newsagency rack so I'll keep my eye out for it. Don't buy Overlander as I find the articles no better than any of the other Australian 4WD magazines.
