Thanks for nice feedback :-) I wrote a new zine quite recently called "(m)other: Why I'm not kidding" - it's a lot about being 35 and not being a mom - I don't know if you've come across that one? Sticky stocks it, and also the new zine shop in Adelaide called Format (Peel Street - they have a facebook group I think). But I'm in the final throes of a PhD right now and so zine-ing is on hold for the moment (honestly though, I'd SO much rather be writing zine than a thesis!) And yes, I hear ya on the cutesy 20-something zinesters (many of whom have a lot of good stuff to say ... and some of whom simply don't). But you should write. Yes. Do it. I hate the way zine-ing is associated with 'yoof arts' - it's unnecessary. Good luck with it all - would love to take a look at your stuff when it makes it out of your head/notebooks. Cheers, Phiona
