If anyone can hook me up with back issues I would appreciate it. My ex-wife threw them all out.

Editors sure don't know everything
Especially writing.
Look I hate rejections and thank the Lord I am getting less and less every year. But when an editor turns down a piece not on its merits but solely on how warm and cuddly the feel is, is derelict in the duty required for the project.
It is ridiculous. And if that same editor won't expand intellect beyond the shallow and literal then that person should stick to hateful tweets.
As an editor myself I may personally hate something but see the artistry and creative voice within enough to accept the piece. I have opened dialogues with writers to be sure I am reading the piece correctly as opposed to simply berating the author with my own ignorance.
There is a big difference in all of our talents. Some of us write and some of us type.

Rest In Peace MICROHORROR
Nathan Rosen has announced the flash fiction horror e-zine has scared its last person. I have written him to see I can take the reigns while he is away. He did ask for volunteers.

So What The Hell ARE You Doing
We have commissioned pieces we are writing. Details on those will follow.
I feel humbled and honored to be approached and to be asked to contribute pieces.
I am spending time focusing on poetry for the at-large works. There is the opportunity in the works for contributing song lyrics, but more on that at a later date.
Stuff is coming out. Stay tuned.
