Thoughts for This Quarter


Dear Friends,

Can you believe it’s been three whole years since this endeavor started? I won’t say it’s been painless by any means but none of us have given up just yet.

To celebrate Pens on Fire turning three, I’ve packed more works in for our reading enjoyment. There are so many new writers and poets submitting work. I have more than enough work to fill up the remainder of the year but say keep it coming. I don’t want to close the door and lose the great work coming in the door.

I have figured out what I did wrong with the archive. I will work on getting those issues resolved. There are still updates coming along on the contributors page. I will keep at it and eventually catch up with the influx.

I know it’s only July but I’d like to toss National Novel Writing month in November out there already. I encourage you all to check out the NaNoWriMo website to see what it’s all about. Even if you don’t finish it’s an excellent exercise in pushing yourself.

Look for Pens on Fire on FaceBook. I’ll try to keep throwing some topics out there. I’d like to get some good conversations going.

For those of you submitting work, good job keep up the good work. For those of us slacking and not writing, get with it. Writing can be a great outlet.

Until next quarter,

Samantha
