Skies Become Cloudy

I was sitting in a not-too-comfortable clubchair outside the manager’s office in May’s department store, getting bored with waiting, the first time I saw her. She was cute, but kinda plain looking- despite the earrings nearly everywhere that a hole could be punched. I watched her the entire way as she walked down the hall towards me and on…

so, I'm new to this whole website, but not new to the making zines phenomenon. I wanna say I started making my first zine way back in 11th grade, in or around the year 1998 (yeah, I'm old), but I may be off by a few months. I love writing, I've recently gotten into filmmaking and photography has always fascinated me. The first issue of my zine, Flying Saucer, is being put together right now and there's a small preview of it available on my page here. if you wanna check out more of my work, go… Continue

That's awesome that you recognized it and used to live there. =) I lived there about a year and a half and was pretty fond of it. Did you ever see when they used to sell graveflowers right on the corner the photo was taken on in that empty lot on the northeast corner of the intersection?

ALSO! I think you may have mentioned a trade, which would be awesome. What do you have? I've got: electricwindmillpress.com --> "numbers" --> issues 1, 2, & 3 of my multi-contributor literary & arts zine. =) (which, by the way, you can read for free on the site if you like! We do print editions as well having preference for hard copies ourselves, but want everyone to enjoy the content for free hence the PDF option!)

Send me a message and let me know!

I'm gonna have to say no to trading for no for financial reasons, but thanks for asking :). I have an etsy page where you can buy my zines if you want, if not then that's cool too of course. http://dontbelonely.etsy.com

would you perhaps be interested in a trade?
please, do let me know! (:

At 5:49pm on July 26, 2010, Anna Xen said…: hey I'll send you some stuff for your issue 1, do you mind if I later use the stuff in my zine- in different context, of course?

I have a political piece, some poetry and some pictures.

At 3:33pm on July 19, 2010, Nichole said…: It's great to see that you are working on novel writing. I'm trying to gear myself up to return to a story idea I had a couple years back, while also finishing a weird sort of memoir. I have a deep level of respect for those who can tackle large projects (like a trilogy!).

Awesome that you want to serialize your work. If you ever want to trade zines, let me know.
