So middle of nowhere, a thought pops in my head. “Melanie, why not create a zine?” Now, I’m not entirely sure where this idea spawned from, but like most creative outbursts I am not quick to stifle it. I thought this through and decided that despite the fact that there is ZERO monetary gain in a grassroots zine, the experience itself is what I was most craving.  So I’ve decided to create one and get it out into the world.  Let’s be honest, I’ll probably give it away to anyone who wants to read it and several people who probably don’t want to.  But maybe if you like it I’ll publish a second volume.  If I charge at all it would be to cover publishing fees (printing and added ‘prizes’) and the cost of mailing.

You may be wondering why I want to create a actual physical zine instead of simply an e-zine or just expand my blogging.  The answer to that is I’m de-E-volving.  We started in print, moved to emails, blogs, websites & social networks.  And now I am moving bacwards through the techno-strata to find myself at a simpler place.

I don’t have the idea fully fleshed out, having just formed it a few hours ago.  So don’t be surprised if it fizzles.
