I now have a box full of copies of issue #4 in my possesion. It is full of my favorite live music shots I have taken from 2007-2009. 32 pages, full color. You can get these from me for $5.

Queer invisibility zine stalled

I thought the zine was finished and just needed to be laid out.

Then I got home and realized that I wasn't happy with the ending. Now I am trying to write an ending, and I am STUCK.

I think I need to move the computer out of the messy office. I think I need to sit down and write before I go to work, as I seem too tired after work.

Endings are hard. Beginnings and middles aren't always easy either.

new zine

I just finished a zine. Its mainly art -drawings and scribbles with comments and musings by me. It's short tales of my experience as a black queer living in the world today. It's A5 and not too long, so good for those with short attention spans.

Crone!

I've decided to make a zine, after donkey's years of doing nothing. A few apazines don't count. I came up with the title Crone, since I'm 48. I'm also working on some little minizines, those 8-pagers. That might be fun! I really need to see some zines though. Not that I want to copy or anything like that, but sometimes it does help to see what's out there.

I found a few zines I have in my collection of SF fanzines. Blimey! Were we really so young! And always depressed and… Continue
