Okay, enough with the depressing posts. I've got an assignment to write an article about new CT scanners for a radiologist trade magazine (yay networking! You know, the old-fashioned kind that refers to people knowing people) - and I'm finding that some things about journalism are like riding a bicycle.

And other things aren't.

Take interviewing for example. Back when I was a journalist (before I was middle-management) I don't recall putting my foot in my mouth quite as often as I have in my last two interviews. I'm sure I sound like a complete idiot to the interviewees. One can only hope the article doesn't turn out to sound that way too.

Books: That's one thing I like about writing fiction. Pretty much all necessary research can be done in the library alone. Books don't care how often you go looking for answers to stupid questions.
