IT'S BEEN A WHILE since the Writer’s
Eye Magazine published
a new issue—six months, in fact. Now, a new year and a new decade spread before
us, like pristine pages and canvases, not yet marked by the pens and brushes of
our decisions. I love the unwritten page; it holds endless possibilities.
Likewise, I love the start of each new year. Though the demarcations of time
are not tangible, as is the turning of a page, the feeling is much the same.
All things seem possible.
The truth is that each day, each moment in
fact, holds
unlimited possibilities—for change or for much of the same. What we paint on
the canvases of our lives is entirely up to us. This truth can be both exciting
and terrifying, depending on whether or not we view life as a playground or a school.
Personally, I prefer to think of it as a playground—a place to explore,
imagine, create friendships, learn, grow, and most of all, have fun.
So what’s in store for The Writer’s
Eye Magazine in 2010?
The future is never certain, but here is what I wish to be:
• High
quality new fiction, nonfiction, photo essays, and poetry
• Increased
readership and exposure for our author/artists and for the multi-faceted
concept behind The Writer’s Eye
• An
improved store—more products and a better shopping cart system
• Expansion
of services and resources, including relevant news and classes
Let’s toast
in the New Year together with great art, reading, and a shared vision for a
better world.
