The Holiday Drain.

[Nichole]

So, December thus far has not been productive zine-wise. I have a bunch of ideas in my head, but I cannot execute them in a zine. I have my apartment stories, some essays I've been writing on trying to date again, psychology things, letters I wish I could send to people. All sorts of ideas, but when I stare at the paper and hold the glue stick, I feel lost.

Summer is always more productive for me. Not sure why. Maybe I've just come to expect it and by happenstance I create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

How have you all been? Have you read any good zines lately? Have you MADE any zines lately. I'd like to start trading and purchasing again, especially if I get this part-time gig at my local library. It means I will have a small, dependent income and I don't have to rely 100% on freelance and contract web design work.

Don't lose yourself in the snow.

Merry merry.

I have been so unproductive until a few days ago. I think it's different for me because I am still in school and now I have so much free time on break that all I want to do is work on zines. But I feel you, because I have been in the same place for the last few months.
