Hello writers, and Happy Thanskgiving!
I'm gonna enjoy my husband's home-cooked turkey, with green bean casserole, cheesecake and other tasty scoff tomorrow. Yes, hubby is a cook and a great one at that. Speaking of cooking, I've been exploring that side of writing. There are a lot of publications that will pay you for original recipes and simple how-tos when it comes to cooking. Lots of women's publications accept food queries, cooking ideas, and even profiles of different restaurants and famous cooks. Check out Food Network for the recipes that are popular right now. Publications usually follow trends, even in food making. Recipes with ethnic flair are quite popular now, and a lot of mags use them. Thumb through a copy of Woman's Day, or any other major publication that has a cooking section.

Pretty soon I'll be heading to my vacation in Florida to do a research on my pirate book. It'd be nice to get away from the hustle of work, responsibilities and family for a few days. I can't wait, that's for sure! Hopefully I'll get a lot of writing done while I'm there. Happy holidays and don't forget to write!
