Announcing the Spring Issue of DU's Lit. Mag.--The Necessary Lan...

[joeybee12]

Don’t forget—tomorrow—May 1, 2006, the second issue of DU’s literary magazine, The Necessary Language, hits newsstands! Actually, it hits the web, so just go to the link: TheNecessaryLanguage.com. If you missed our inaugural edition, simply click under “past issues.”

Thanks to everyone who contributed this issue—the response was terrific. The magazine is really catching on, and I encourage everyone to participate. Our next issue is scheduled for August 1, 2006. We consider the magazine a learning process for those of us at DU. It is a non-edit magazine, meaning any fiction you submit, in any genre, is published as-is. So, if you want to submit, simply PM me, or send an e-mail to [e-mail]. I’m spending the summer in Yellowstone (traveling there tomorrow) so it may take me a few days to get back to you, but we have plenty of time before our next issue.

Again, thanks to all our contributors and readers, and be sure to thank WesDem for hosting our magazine on her website, and for all her hard work in getting this up and running.

Na shledanou!

Joe

P.S. Note to Moderators—I’m posting this in the lounge, GD and the Writing Forum so it reaches a wide audience, so please don’t lock even though you see the same post elsewhere! Thanks!

8. I'll Submit Something Next Time

I took a six-month break from politics to write a novel for NaNoWriMo in November. I'm going to begin another rewrite in a few days but I'll make the time to submit something. A poem, some of the political haikus I started posting on my blog, or a short story. What's the deadline for submitting our work?

9. NanoWriMo's great

I got a book written that way one year. I'm going to try again this year.

The deadline will probably be mid-July, but anytime before that is fine. We'll just hold onto it.

10. Ditto what WesDem said...

...and also another vanity kick!
