Mulletin Board Blab 10.28.05

MBToolBox.com will be taking the afternoon off to join the ranks of long-haired, Journey-loving, greasy South-Side fans of the Chicago White Sox as we invite our second-favorite, first place team home with a parade. Don’t stop believing! I will of course give you a wrapup of what people are talking about on the boards today.
The MBToolBox topic of the week: how do you recycle and resell your story ideas?
Anybody taken a writer’s refuge?
Will taking a receptionist job at a magazine lead anywhere?
When billing a magazine for a pay-by-the-word freelance story, do I bill them for the number of words I submitted or the number of words actually published after the article was edited?
How do you break into the trade magazines?
