THE EPISTOLARIUM, a secret place, a hidden place, on the run for the arms of the inquisition in the name of the rose.

It looks like a great list! I'm working on something at the moment, I'm tying it in with NaNoWriMo. So I can work on the project and knock off some of my word count.

Hi Sue, it's international writing month (despite them calling it national writing month) -November being the month. It's where you write 50,000 words in a month. It's my third year doing it. Not easy! Link here
Thanks for the best wishes Vizma! I think I should stick to selling raindrops :)

Hats off to you Theresa! It's an excellent first issue. Really loving the broad range of mediums and ideas, though they all tie up extremely well like you state in your note at the end of the publication.

FOR RIGHT NOW:
Dear Theresa,
RIGHT NOW
or 4000 years ago,
it makes no difference at all.
We are running
like they were running,
except they had SOUL.
While we lost ours
in the time process
in charge of head loss.
