Two days later, he was on the phone offering me over half a grand to write it. Frankly, it changed my life forever. I left my job the following September. In the intervening years, I have been nominated for three journalism awards, and have won two of them. What a ride! If it wasn't for realising I could get out of network security and write about it instead, I'd never have had the time to get properly into magic and programmable electronics, and to combine the two with my love and knowledge of behavioural psychology.
So, if you're unhappy, unappreciated and thinking of doing something new, DO IT! THE VOICES COMMAND IT!

You were a breath of fresh air to the magazine. In contrast to some contributors (I won't say who), you actually knew what you were writing about. Commissioning editors like me find writers like you to be life-savers.
Glad to have helped, but also grateful for your work.
Simon (Ted) Edwards
