committment
I can never remember how to spell committment. Oh. Apparently only one m. Comittment. Or one t. Commitment.
See? This is why I can’t ever remember how to spell it. To me, if you start off with two m’s, then you should end with two t’s. That shows commitment. Starting with two m’s and ending with only half the t’s see incomplete, somehow.
I am commited (SEE? – NO SENSE! it’s committed with two t’s) committed <sigh>
I have to go to work tonight.
I would rather stay home and work on my zine.
(committee.) <harumph> (just as I suspected…)
I’ve fully completed 22 pages + the front and back covers. I have 8 pages or so that I want to include.
I write big. (should it be “big-ly”? that sounds weird – I guess it needs a modifier)
My handwriting is big.
progress
I’ve (mostly) completed 17 pages of the latest edition in progress. I’ll finish somewhere between 22 and 34.
I’ve got a few photos to print to put in place. Alas, I am low on yellow ink. So, I’ll get some more later today and keep going. Right now I’m gluing. And admiring what I’ve done & figuring out where it’s going.
I’ve flipped around, apparently and by happenstance, to get some daylight and enjoy the Autumnal Equinox.
Blessings of balance on your day!

beginning
Spent some time last night copying and cutting and gluing. Soon, I should go to bed. (I am nocturnal.). I want to stay up and zine. After sleep, thankfully, I can zine.
inspiration
I love autumn. I feel inspired and rejuvenated by the cooler weather and the crispness in the air. And clouds.
Albuquerque skies in autumn have clouds.

first cover of TheZINEsaurus
this is the first cover of my zine, TheZINEsaurus, created last fall for the First Annual ABQ Zine Fest. I think it was October. For sure, 2011. Anyway, I had recently graduated from nursing school and was looking for my first job as an RN. A good friend of mine was participating in the fest (she writes a hot erotic zine) and so my husband & I went to the opening night gig. It was an awesome conglomeration of art and music and alternative thinking and all that kind of stuff that I’d really been missing in the analytic, science-based field of nursing. I was hooked.
I decided, on a whim, to participate in the 42 Hour Zine Challenge and make a zine that weekend. And this is the cover that resulted. I’ll be posting an excerpt soon-ish, so you can see what some of the inside is like.
So, at the end of the weekend, I read my zine aloud, in public. And I was thrilled to have my audience laugh when I made a joke and sigh when I made a poignant remark. My zine won the First Annual Bruce Springsteen Award.
I was really hooked then! And I already had tons of ideas for more zines that I wanted to make.

And then I got my first job as a nurse and all my energy has been tied up in my first year of literally holding peoples’ lives in my hands.
And now, as I realize that I MUST have something therapeutic for my soul, I am working on TheZINEsaurus II.I.

Feeding My Soul
It has recently come to my attention that I have not been feeding my soul.
That ends now.
So, I will work on my zine, TheZINEsaurus, as often as I can, and/or as often as I need. And I’ll produce a zine for consumption. And I’ll share some of it here. Periodically. Sporadically.
