Instinct Magazine

I've been wanting to expand my writing credentials to include a national magazine. There's something to be said for the validation of your work. So I hunted down the editor of Instinct Magazine to pitch a few articles relating to Paris and our upcoming trip to Oktoberfest.

I selected Instinct Magazine based on their tone of voice - one that correlates nicely with mine. That, and being a gay magazine, they would be more apt to publish the Pink Trash Traveler's take on Ibiza, Berlin or Green Bean Casserole. The editor replied, and I quote, "I'd be very interested in reading any of the finished product for any of these pitches you've mentioned." Yeah for me.

Now, I'm contemplating the story angles for both Paris and the beerfest in Munich. The latter seems to write itself - considering I'll be nestled in a beer tent surrounded by booze hounds for hours. As for Paris, that's a bit more difficult. What would a 18-34 year old gay man in Indiana or Utah want to know about me and/or my life in Paris? So many thoughts, such little time.
