Pedro's E-bag

How do you come up with ideas?


Dear Pedro, How do you make the magazine? I know it must be hard finding out what to write about. How do you come up with all of the ideas for the magazine?
– Ben O., Collierville, Tenn.

We have a lot of help, Ben. Ideas come from everywhere — our staff, our readers like you, freelance writers and photographers, BSA staff around the country. It’s not hard to find out what to write about, just the best things to write about.
