Hey everybody. You probably noticed this issue is a little smaller than normal, and some of you may be looking for your work and not finding it. You are not going crazy. Unfortunately we had to make a last minute decision to push some of the stories to next month due to time constraints. Everyone who received a confirmation and did not appear in this issue, WILL appear in next months issue. That is a guarantee. I am sorry for the inconvenience and I hope this hasn't caused any undue stress. Things have been hard for everyone, and even those of us who remain cheery on the outside and are the shoulder to lean on, sometimes crack just a little. I'm not just talking about our illustrious leader, I am talking about myself too. It was brought to my attention that I seem to have lost a bit of the passion I once had for the written word. I don't think I have, but, I have been battling my own demons and that makes it difficult to remain totally enthusiastic about everything. It happens, and as things begin to resemble something close to what the new normal is, that fervour will come back. I love what I do. I love this magazine, the podcast, and every one of you. You keep me going, keep me working, and keep me motivated, even when all I want to do is sit in my jammies, wallow in my own self pity and eat Death by Chocolate Ice Cream. So, again, I apologize for the smallness of this month's magazine, but fear not, things will return to normal and we will be jammed packed as always!! I hope you enjoy this month, don't forget to vote and show the love to all the contributors!
