Little posting of last due to work on the current issue, plus being knocked out of commission for over a week due to a bad cold. Right now I’m making final edits to a couple of stories. I’m starting to look ahead to the next issue, which is a temptation I need to resist until this one is in the mail.
I’ve stubbornly stuck to a 12-page format the past year, but find that I’m writing 60-80% of the more recent issues. So, after cutting the page count down from 16 to 12 for the same reason last year, I may now need to drop the issue down to 8 pages, until I can get more contributions. I might as well look into moving everything online otherwise. That’s where all the action is these days anyway, and people writing about liberty and science fiction can get their bylines out faster via the internet, along with the options of commentary, linking, and a massive audience. Why should an organization with the word “futurist” in its name stick to a print newsletter? Anyway, the current issue currently contains these items:
Matthew Gaylor, RIP
