I am the founder and editor of a magazine.
It has been on hiatus for some time now.
Years. In times of crisis I might say, “I’m
going to start working on it again.” This is
a time of crisis. However, this is also the
day after which I made a promise some
months ago that at that point (this one)
I will begin working on new issues of the
magazine again. I figure if one says some
thing publicly, like I am doing now (mega
phones might be used, yet people may not
hear a thing; this is public in these times)
makes a proclomation that “I will do ______,”
then the likelihood of one doing it might be
higher due to the, I don’t know, shame or
embarrassment or lost pride one might get a
bit of guff at some point after one has made
such a proclamation if one fails to do what was
declared. In this case, I already made a promise
to myself. Then to you. And the day is here.
There’s no need for me to get so ahead of myself
about such things. But if you have goals, what
do you do in order to reach any of them? I am
the founder and editor of a pioneer (fine, I will
concede the marketing or branding endeavor
there) online poetrymagazine that has been on
hiatus for quite some time now. Today I shall
begin to work to put together its newest issue.
