Editor's NoteI love fall and spring, the transitional seasons. Mind you, summer and winter have their perks, but I love change, transformation, the simultaneous death and birth: the inbetween stuff tends to become vulnerable to static. In that vein, although you have stared at the static of our Summer issue of JMWW for three months, little did you know how much work was going on behind the scenes to get this, the Fall issue, together.Or perhaps you did. Certainly, if you were one of those writers who submitted to us, anyway. I'm happy to say that we have been inundated with your work since the Summer issue went up, and we have been thankful for every word sent our way. Although we could not accept all of your submissions, each had promise in its own fashion. Some needed just a final polish; others were more diamonds in the rough. At any rate, we're happy you thought them worthy of us. And we hope you think us worthy yet again. The writers appearing this issue are, as usual, from all over the map, literally and stylistically. However, they all share that bit of quirkiness, or surprise, or recollection that transforms all of us after we have read them. And that's what we continue to strive for at JMWW: the transformation that keeps us renewed, energizezd, alive. Thanks again for helping us to regenerate again for this issue. Jen Michalski, Editor |
