I feel like I should be writing some sort of 2014 wrap-up, but… I have nothing. I’m very happy to be back into zine things as of the past few months, and I want to thank you all for being awesome and supporting my passion.
So, with my newbie PhotoShop techniques, I wish you…
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 690 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 12 trips to carry that many people.
In the lull between Christmas and New Year’s, I find myself wrapping up a few more projects on the craft side of things (mostly cards).
What does that have to do with guilty pleasure? Well, I like to listen (and watch a little, depending on exactly what I’m doing) people playing games I like to play. Haha. It’s like sports for gamers.
I’ll get back to zine-ish things sooner rather than later. 🙂
I did mean to have a review up yesterday, even though it was Boxing Day. But this happened…
Ahem.
Paper lanterns symbolize brightness and love. Paper Lantern literary zine is zine whose mission is to illuminate the world and allow it to discover that there are some remarkable ideas and dreams squirming around the hearts and minds of some talented thinkers and artists.
We are looking for beautifully written poetry, flash fiction, and what ever you’d like to share. We are planing on releasing issue 001 by January 1, 2015.
So please email your submissions to paperlanternliterarymagazine@gmail.com THANKS!

Zine Ninja Says: Whatever you’re celebrating or not celebrating, have a good one.
I always start Dear Anonymous with a quote. I like to leave it as a surprise, but I’m especially fond of this one…
A late Happy Mail coming to you.
To be quite honest, I didn’t expect to be doing happy mail today. I am not in contact with my blood relatives and neither is my partner, so this time of year is usually quiet. My anxiety skyrockets as well with all the hustle, bustle and nerves of people, so I tend not to go to many social occasions.
That being said, I’m happy to be proven wrong. Last week was an awesome week for mail. I’m going to tuck all the pictures in behind a ‘more’ tag so it doesn’t take ages for the blog to load up for anyone.
Moooooore? Continue reading “Holy Happy Mail, Batman!”
