’90s Ladies of Inspiration
I‘ve included a few spreads from the most recent zine, ’90s Ladies of Inspiration: Television (The Obsesser #7). It’s a short quarter size zine with full color cover and end sheets and a three hole coptic binding. This is a brief selection, I’d like to add more in the future. The characters included are Angela […]
winding down
The semester is nearing the end and there will only be a handful of posts left for the writing workshop. There are some things I’d like to add before it ends, like posts about a few finalized zines (mainly the last two), some reflection on the last two zine fests I attended, what’s to come […]
thanksgiving stories
Over Thanksgiving weekend I seemed to be paying closer attention to the stories people told, whether it was heard or read. The way they told them came into focus and the stories themselves were excellent. Some were so funny I was crying, some were heartbreaking, and others were just disgusting. I went to Corey’s aunt […]

Truth in Blogging (and being a journalism student)
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/making_things This is so right on. I was laughing through the entire thing. . I’m finally starting to enjoy blogging, after years of trying to make myself accept it. Just like writing itself it gets easier and more enjoyable with more practice. I had a livejournal that I kept up with regularly, mostly for the […]
Ideas for next project: 90’s Ladies – TV
For the next issue I’ll be going back to my idea of 90’s Ladies of Inspiration. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for almost a year but now the timing seems right. I’ve always been an avid television viewer and it was influential to me as a teenager growing up in the 90’s. […]
31 Postcards
I finished The Obsesser #6.5 – 31 Postcards – right before the Milwaukee Zine Fest. The story prompt was Messages from the Margin. We had been discussing zine culture a lot (especially in the 90’s) because of the Notes From Underground reading. In the book the author talked about trades and penpal-like letter exchanges, or […]
Edith Knows Her Apples
I wrote this almost a month ago but saved it as a draft accidentally instead of posting it. I still need to write one for 31 Postcards (The Obsesser #6.5). That was printed before zine fest last week but the project is still finishing up. I’m currently working on #7, which is the cassette piece […]
found text bits: cassette reading
These are pieces I tried to pull together from reading the cassette (found) text after it was written out on the tape. I think this is sort of what some readers would string together when reading, though each person/read would be different. I am currently leaving it untitled because I would like first time readers […]
