Letter from the editor

Things don’t always go as planned. And that’s exactly what happened this month toward the end.

I had all kinds of things to talk about, but that all came to a crashing halt when I tried a new piece of software. Looking back it all seems to good to be true. Affinity Publisher and the two other pieces of software they have are on a 6 month trial basis. Which sounds great except for a bug.

This bug won’t allow me to save my file. And if I try to Save As, regardless of folder location, nothing happens. So Affinity Publisher is useless to me.

I was two days into creating the third issue of my newsletter when all of this occurred. So only a couple of things were really written down.

This issue is a testament to how frustrating life gets sometimes, and how we persevere and move on. There’s a couple of things in this issue, one of which is a short non-fiction story recounting a film gig that took up three weekends of my life.

The act of creation is sometimes fickle. Other times it’s generous as hell. I’ll have another issue next month, with some writing advice and other things carried over. Until then, please enjoy a thin version of this one.
