Well, thewritestuffmedia.com is slowly, but surely, generating some work.

I’ll have several articles appearing soon in The Builders Choice Magazine, a niche trade magazine published from Perth’s northern suburbs….it’s been a steep learning curve, but fun!

The West ran my travel piece on Tokyo today, including a fair few pix I took…thanks to that foolproof Sony camera.

I’ll be putting up examples of my work and some background on experience etc soon…

Meanwhile, thanks to Tom Wolfe for coining the phrase The Right Stuff, which I have sneakily tweaked…
