I also get it ready for press and prepare it to be put on-line by our webmistress. When I was in college, Western Michigan University, I decided to publish a humor magazine. I got permission from the college to do it, and put together a staff. It was to come out monthly, and then be sold for .25 an issue. I took the pictures with a camera, sold advertising to local stores, picked a printer, and when the deadline came for the writings, no one came up with anything. So, I wrote the entire magazine, and did so under ten or twelve different names each issue. I wrote as a man, a woman, a student, a police officer, and a few things I can't mention. I took the materials to the printer, got it printed, took it on campus and sat at a table in the commons area and sold the issues. It was called Tart. I did that for five issues and then gave it up. It was interferring with my study/drinking time, I found a couple of the issues the other day, and have to admit, I enjoyed reading them. But, then, I have always found my own writings to be my favorite. Other than John D. McDonald, Andrew Vachss, and Dean Koontz I like me best. I never got any complaints from the readers, but then again, I never let anyone know who I was or how to reach me. Not that there was anything wrong with that.
