I do a monthly column for a medical magazine plus other assorted pieces every so often. (perhaps about 20-25 total a year).

I agree with LadyJean. Some of what I write about could be daunting to some readers without specialist knowledge of a particular area so, while remaining factually correct, I try and simplify as much as possible and, at the same time, make it interesting with different approaches and angles. I also sometimes also illustrate my pieces with a created "character" and sometimes do the article from "his" perspective. There are lots of tricks one can use!

Good luck and go for it!
