You know that joy as a kid when you get something in the
mail addressed to you. That is how I first got involved with magazines with Highlights and Ranger Rick. Those were my very first magazines. It is what got me
involved in reading and nature heavily. I moved on from there it Natural Geographic Magazine. It gave me
history and nature all in one, and the pictures were amazing. It gave me a look
into the world as well as a deeper understanding of science as well.
I always looked forward to and still do to the newest
issue arriving in the mail. It’s like unwrapping a Christmas Gift year-round.
Fresh new articles and pictures to look at. Even with the digital editions as
well. Plus, the digital editions have things the paper versions don’t. I still
read National Geographic Magazine to
this day. I also read a ton of other magazines. From cooking to writing and
everything in between.
I’m still not sure what my favorite is other than National Geographic Magazine. Though I
like Time and Writer’s Digest are a couple that come to mind. I like TIME for all the news and insights it
provides about things in general. It gives me a good summery of the news I
might miss here and there in the newspaper and more in-depth as well. Plus, I
get recommendations on books, movies, and music. And, in the digital version
there are video extras as well.
With Writer’s
Digest I have the ability to see into other writers minds and provide my
own viewpoint if the magazine selects it. And, I can get paid for it. It also
has good advice for me as well. They also email me with contest and book offers
to improve my skills. With the magazine, you get submerged into the whole brand
basically. And, it is a brand I like a lot. You also get online articles as
well as more in-depth views of articles as well from the digital editions of
the magazines.
And, with any magazine you get submerged into the brand.
And, I am selective about my brands. National Geographic is a brand I am loyal
too with magazines as well as some of the books, and movies. I’m still looking
at other brands to be loyal too as well. And, I try to balance my magazine reading
with my book reading. It is a lot on top of all the text book reading I do for
school as well. Though when I put my mind to it I can zip through a lot of
stuff.
But, I have rambled on long enough for one day. Feel free
to leave questions and comments below. And, in the comments list your favorite
magazines as well please. As for me I think I am going to go work on some more
writing on read a magazine not sure which quite yet. *Tips his hat and walks
out the door*.
