SeaGreenZines Gone Digital – Screw Postage Prices
Postage being the massive expense that it is, I am happy to announce that you can now get the digital versions of my zines at My Etsy Shop.

Bask in the knowledge that you are helping me buy printer ink, of which I have absolutely none right now. (Uh oh.)
Dear Anonymous 4 Apology
Dear Anonymous 4 letters!
I want to apologise to everyone who has submitted to Dear Anonymous 4.
I’m sorry.
There are submissions that I have been sitting on for ages, and I am so sorry about that. At first, it was because I simply needed more submissions. I got it into my head that if I didn’t have at least as many letters as I had in Dear Anonymous 3 (the biggest in the series thus far), then I wouldn’t start. I still don’t have that many submissions, but I could have started the zine months ago. What was all about the numbers became, if I’m to be honest, more about my anxiety. It was easier to blame the numbers than it was to face making something creative.
Just because you love something doesn’t mean it can’t cause you anxiety.
Again, I’m sorry for the delay. I truly am. To make it up to you, I will send *PHYSICAL* copies of Dear Anonymous 4 to all contributors. I’d decided to send out digital contributor copies after the cost of sending out Dear Anonymous 3, but I’m taking that back. Physical copies for all!
I promise you, as evidenced by the picture up top, I have begun work on Dear Anonymous 4.
Even though I am working on it now, Dear Anonymous 4 is still open for submissions. Please send your letters (to your boss, to your cat, to the tree outside your bedroom window) to theauthor at inkyblots.com ASAP!
As always, thank you so much for your patience.
Happiest of Holidays to You

In another life, I am an author. While I try not to let that life cross into my zine life too often, my wonderful student debt dictates that I put my squirmy feelings aside and ‘cross promote’. Not that I have anything against sales as such – I’m just not built to be a salesman. (Even as much as my life could benefit were I such.)
I have recently released the ‘boxed set’ of my first three books. It’s an interesting set in that the first I wrote before my Professional Writing & Editing Cert IV and diploma stuff, the second book I wrote during, and the third book I wrote as I was finishing up. So you can really see how much my style has changed and been polished up in that time.
Of course, the set is cheaper than buying the ebooks individually. Check it out here on Amazon. Any sharing and, of course, purchases, are greatly appreciated.
Housekeeping!
The Zine Review Index is now up to date.

International Zine Month (July!) 2015!
It’s that time again!
I say again, but this is really my first IZM insofar as actually participating and such. I have no idea what my participation is going to look like, as I’d really like to wrap up the first draft of my fourth novel by the end of the month. Ah, well. I’m a seat-of-my-pants kind of woman anyway. If you’re like me and want some ideas, Stolen Sharpie Revolution has something for you to do every day of the month! Whee!
