Sewing or Staples?

I have always sewn my zines together because I am an impatient person and staples were pissing me off. Plus, I think sewing looks nicer. However, a lot of people staple their work, and they do it well.

What I am trying to say is that I don’t have a problem with stapled zines; I have a problem with me stapling zines.

Anyone care to weigh in? Does it matter do you? Have you spared a thought toward it? Do I really, really need to get healthy so I can stop spending so much time thinking about this stuff?

Seriously?

Just as I was gearing up and getting organised… I had to go to hospital. I’m home again, but I’m sore because I had to get my appendix taken out.

Bear with me. I’m getting there.

Call for Submissions! Dear Anonymous 3

So… I really didn’t mean to disappear for a month. How did time go by so fast?! Damnit. Anyway, submit to my zine. Do it!

Dear Anonymous 3 is on its way and I’m looking for letters!

These letters can be confessionals, but they can also be whatever you like them to be. Write to your life, write to your cat, write to your past or your future… Dear Anonymous is about writing the letters of the things you can’t say for whatever reason.

Basically, you’re right in the 1 – 500 words range, but shorter is better. BUT, this zine is about expression, and I don’t want to force anyone to clamp down on their passion just for me. I’m flexible.
