Trailer Snuff at 5x5 Fiction

Angel Zapata has created a fiction puzzle challenge! And he's done a monster mash up job editing:

Issue 2 of 5x5 Fiction: Secrets, Scuffles and Surprises

The reads are quick stabs of entertainment, but are writing them? Trailer Snuff  took me a couple weeks. When Angel first announced the zine six months back, I thought a complete (good) story in five words by five sentences would be easy enough. But... nah. Might as well tie my tooth to a string, the other end to a knob and slam the door.  On the other hand, I love a good challenge and reading others bites of creations are fun. After reading this (Crazy, Fun, Warped) issue, I challenge you to read the sub guidelines and work up a 5x5.

Big Thanks to Angel  for publishing my work.

Durable Goods Issue 40 & Wicked Woman's Booty #8

 Have you heard of Durable Goods? Let me tell you about this gem. Editor Aleathia Drehmer invites two unknowing writers (or poets) to participate in a particular issue. She puts their work together (it reminds me of spin the bottle!) then writes a ribbon wrapping poem that unites the two pieces. When I recieved my microzines in the mail today, I couldn't wait to read which poem mine (called "Shiner") had been paired with.  "We Look Better In Ruins" is written by FD Marcel. I was simply amazed at our synchronicity. Powerful. Aleathia's addition "There Is More Than a Disconnect" is vivid and balancing. Just wow.

Isn't that a gorgeous cover?

To find out about submissions, invitations, or subscriptions (You know you want this months issue!) Go Here. Also, Aleathia slipped in my envelope a handwritten quote that quite touched my heart. Wonderful gal. Big thank you.
