The Sabrot Online

I decided to go online for the month of October. But we still need contributions. Any ideas?

The Future of the Sabrot

The idea I had at the beginning of the summer was to take the month of July and improve the Sabrot. It was growing a little faster than I could handle, so I thought that with an extra month, I could make it bigger and grander. I didn't do either, and when September 1st rolled around, I didn't have anything to show. Ad now that September is halfway over, I still have nothing to show. I wonder if I'm going to pick it up again before the end of the year. I really want this to be a reader-participation magazine. I think I might try going online for a few months and see if I can roound up any support for both writing and business and come out with a print version again in January. Perhaps this time, something more professional.

If anyone ever reads this and has any idea on how to get people involved, I'd love to hear about it.

What a day

So... I didn't do a whole lot of writing during the month of April because I was busy planning Josh and Laurie Day, then I went on vacation, then my jobs kicked it into high gear, so it was the 25th before I startd on the May edition. Submissions were almost nil, and my brother was too busy to draw the comic I asked for, so I had to fill the space somehow, and quickly. Well... working 10 and 12 hour days do horrible things to your energy levels and I was barely able to crawl into bed before I had to get out again, so I didn't really sit down to write the Sabrot until late on the 27th, which was cutting it close since I printed on the 28th. I wrote through the night, my computer overheated and shut off once about two in the morning, at five, my mouse batteries ran out, and I finished, finally, at eight. My roomate had already woken up and gone off to class, a thunder storm had come and gone, and the sun was drying up all the rain, and I know somewhere some determined little spider was trying to get up a drainpipe.
I showered and shaved, freshened up and went a printing. However, the file that I burned on the cd crashed the program on the computer I was using to print on. I tried to fix it, but since I don't know exactly why it wasn't working, nothing I tried had any effect. I at least figured out that the problem was my file, and not the program. So I went back to my computer, thinking I could burn another one, and Praise God that I have a laptop and enough foresight to bring it with me. The only thing is that I couldn't find the file. My computer moved it to the cd instead of copying it. (I stayed up all night ot write it, I didn't want to do it again) I already suspected the file of being corrupted.
I praise God again because I could pull the file off the cd and open in. Eveything was fine. So I printed a pdf and burned that, so I might print from the pdf on the other computer, but they didn't have acrobat reader. So, I downloaded and installed acrobat at the same time as installing their printer on my computer. The printer installed first and I printed directly from my computer. 35 copies. I didn't start until after 10:30, even though I got there before 9. The printing finished about 12:30 and I took the copies (in a bag that I got at the dollar store that fits perfect) to Staples for binding. I was so tired. I told the guy what I wanted and almost left without telling him my name or anything. When he stopped me to ask for my personal information, I just gave him a business card that they made for me.
I had Josh with lunch... no wait... lunch with Josh and went to work. I was so tired by this time, I was going to ask for the day off, but when I got to work, the delivery was already taken care of because it was so small today. (25 boxes, usually we averge at 100 and for the last couple weeks, we have been averaging 150) My boss let me go home and I praised God the entire way home and to my bed.
The funny thing is that I was just writing about God's provision in the Magazine. And then He provided.

Boring

This Blog is kinda boring... I gotta think of a way to make it better.

Uh-oh

My 20th deadline is getting close. Today is the 18th and I'm leaving town tonight and getting back tomorrow. That's the 19th. That gives me one night to write the Sabrot. Well... I guess it's been done before, but usually on the 28th or something.

Submit or be heard not

It is the 11th of March and Charles is the only one who has submitted. I think I will be writing a lot of this months issue myself... Maybe another issue written by mostly me will encourage them to send something in next month. We Shall see... Okay, that was boring, lets try something a little more exciting. Wow! I get to write the entire issue by myself, I'm so excited! Charles sent something funny from when he was a kid and well... that's it! Eh, that's not exactly what I'm looking for, what about something that's a little more... Shakespearian. The ides of March approach with Hermes. My preparation is inadequate, yet, my heart is hopeful. I will stand against this enemy, external or internal. I will rise to the occasion. Alone with Charles by my side. And then, when victory is in our hands, we will throw it away and kill oursevles. Well... that's definately different... what about in a tranliterated alien language.

The Sabrot has arrived

The Sabrot is a maginzine that I print every month. I am making this blog thinking that I may want to write information about the changes as it comes out. But not tonight.
