Dear reader, I have not vanished, nor has the zine. I have, however, picked up another project bound to disrupt my zine-creation. NaNoWriMo - standing for "National Novel Writing Month" - starts in a mere two days, and I've decided to enter. It must be said I have not been one to say "I'd like to write a novel some day." In fact, if anything, I've thought of writing a novel entirely out of my pay grade, so to speak. Enter this contest, whereby quantity over quality is featured - hey, I can get on board with that!
In addition to entering NaNoWriMo I have joined, and committed to writing for, Red Room. I haven't yet parsed out the differences in my Red Room writing versus my daily blog but that's sure to only take a few minutes of study.
Excerpts from my work will be featured in the next zine - along with some handy DIY tips from around the world (mostly, though, around Grays Harbor), a guest article about remaining in good standing in relationships, and some winter recipes featuring local foodstuffs.
And finally - if you haven't seen it, I advise taking a look through our Flickr group. We have a handful of amazing photographers. If you have any curiosity about what it's like to live in Grays Harbor or Hoquiam (OK, don't answer the implied question with a big sarcastic eye-roll), this would be a great way to do it.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween, and I'll see you here soon!
