Tattooed Memoirs 6
$1/16 pages/Half size
by Sage

As my 30th birthday approached I felt as though a cycle of my life came full circle. Inside you will find writing regarding my marriage (the ups & downs), being a mother and finding clarity. I currently feel like I am going through life now with a vision that is clear which makes each day fulfilling. I touch briefly on the sudden death of my step-dad, the recent election and lists about good stuff ~ All of the graphics used in this issue came from the 1975 Wilton Yearbook of Cake Decorating.

 I really enjoy Maranda's writing and stories. She has the wonderful ability to write in such a way that she captures your attention and keeps a hold on it until the end of her zine.

Maranda begins writing about a name change that she is following through with, insomnia, and being a vegetarian. She describes her panic attacks, her thoughts on school, feeling pressure, and the decision to shave her head.

An excerpt," I don't feel like I can fight back against everything. Or anything, really. I know it's completely counterproductive to keep to myself, or to preach to the choir, but it's all I can handle right now. If I could surround myself with people who are like me, and understand my anger and my issues and my craziness, I'm almost positive I would be okay, but there aren't enough of these people in my world, and they are all far away."

Maranda's writing is a prime example as to why I have such an attachment to reading zines. From her choice of layout to the flow of her writing; I find myself easily relating to her words. She looks back on the town she resides in and reminisces about an old job, rooftop dwelling and train tracks. Maranda describes the changes in the town as well as the changes in herself. This issue is about home, comfort, towns and taking it one day at a time.

An excerpt, "I feel so restless, unsure of what to do with my energy, like I would have to leave town to dispel this feeling, and I do not have that option.

I think perhaps I was meant to be alone and it is finally becoming easier to accept, and to accept happily. I just like to have days where I feel productive."

Tiny String 5: Josephine SOLD OUT!!
$2/24 pages/ Quarter size
by Lindsie

"Each issue of Tiny String is dedicated to a single person or concept. Reading the book one way presents all of the facts that I know about this person or concept, perhaps in list form, perhaps in anecdotes I remember. Turning the book over and upside down presents a non-factual version. This made up version is perhaps based a little on what I know about them."
Non-fiction side : Lindsie describes her classmate Josephine from the 8th grade. She writes about the mischief Josephine got herself into and you can sense the distance that grew between them as the years passed on.
Fiction side: This story is set in a classroom that Josephine and Lindsie share together. Lindsie tells the story of a "name tag" airplane toss that the two girls partake in with another students name tag as their flying instrument.
