Well, since my post earlier today, a few more people have pitched in with contributions or purchases. Thank you! We’re still not quite where we need to be yet, but we’re getting closer! Please help us make our budget and not go broke! (And remember, there are only 9 days left to purchase a anthology […]
Editing for Issue 13 is done. Whew. Tough one this month – not because of the stories, which were actually quite clean, but because we got sick and fell out of the swing of things. And we had a few other things going on. Next I’ll be putting together the print edition. The cover is […]
Modern technology is pretty amazing in that it can distract you from itself. You get on the computer to perform 1 task; 15 tasks later you’ve forgotten what the first one was, you only know you haven’t done it… Editing is under way. Kay’s taken care of some of it, and I’ve done a bit […]
It’s very hard to struggle back into a rhythm of work after being flung out of it for so long. To anyone who says 5 days isn’t a long time, I say: clearly you have never truly been in this kind of rhythm. But we are clawing our way back to production. We got back […]
Sadly, the official announcement has to wait one more day. Not planned, but today wasn’t quite as expected. I almost finished the Kindle edition of issue 12 today… another hour or so tomorrow should do it. I encountered something I’d never had to do before: I had to break apart the comics we’re running into […]
We’re still waiting to hear back from a couple of writers about the edits to their stories. Even though we’re still okay for time *knock wood* I’m getting a bit antsy. Want to put this puppy to bed so I can focus on the other editions. I did finalize a couple more of the stories, […]
Editing happened! We’re not finished, but progress was made. Hurrah! Today was Mad Communication Day. I must have sent a good 20-25 emails covering various subjects for the magazine. Mostly about Issue 12, although there were a few things about past and future issues as well. Kay also sent quite a few emails as she […]
Despite the annoyances of the day, a lot was accomplished. The primary annoyance was with Adobe Acrobat, which we can’t afford. Kay had one of those ideas that’s so clever we both wondered why we didn’t think of it sooner. Rather than waiting until we had all the stories edited and formatted, we’re going to […]
(what do you expect at almost 1am?) We just got an email from Julie Dillon, the cover artist for Issue 12. She sent us an updated preview, which is in the home stretch now. We’re just… oh wow. Slfksj. Heck, I’d publish it in its current form, happily, and it’s not even done! Incredible. I […]
Today was primarily a reading day. We had a mild uptick in submissions, which we hope means we’re hitting that rush we’ve been half-expecting. We’ve already read a few that we’re extremely pleased with, and barring some huge surprise will almost certainly be going in. That’s a good feeling, knowing there’s already a few that […]
