Magazine
Please do not send me private messages unless they have a point to them. thank you! And if you want to link back to me, click on my button on the sidebar.
******************************************
Hey everyone!
I want to update about the whole magazine thing. =) I really really really want this to work. More than you can imagine!
Let me just say again what I have in mind:
Brio magazine, the magazine I used to read, has now discontinued, and so has their website. So it got me wondering, "HEY! why can't a bunch of girls just get together and make a magazine of our own?"
I understand it won't be quite that simple. I figured out that if we have the following articles:
1entertainment/review article
2 fiction
1 non-fiction
2 humour
3 Devotion
Then the total number of writers needed, assuming everyone does one, is 9.
I've got 3 people who are for sure interested in helping out. :) Thanks so much guys!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with my cause!
This would be a great fun for everyone involved, and I want it to be a good magazine for girls to read.
If this is going to work, we also need a name for it.
I looked up some words on google (ahhh. Lovely google. :p ) and found the translations to some English words.
Here are my ideas so far from what I've found:
Penda (Love, in Swahili)
Maisha (Life, also in Swahili)
Vida (life, in Spanish)
I think they sound cool..
so please. tell me 2 things:
1: if you're interested, and if so, what area you would like to help me fill
and
2: What you think the name should be.
I really want this to work.. so thanks so much!
Also, I've started to work on a template for the future magazine, and so you can see it here.
Please tell me what you think of it!
Oops.. I guess that makes three things. :)
Lol
thanks so much for your support, guys!

Thanks for the comment and the new info. This sounds great! I have a couple questions though...
First of all, what did you have in mind for the non-fiction/fiction sections? Short stories? Or something else?
Secondly, if the Devotion spot is not filled, I would be happy to do that. In a speech and debate club that I participate in, we often have to write devotionals to give to the class, so I have plenty of material for that.
Finally, I liked "Vido" for a name for the magazine. It sounds cool to me. But the other two titles sounded neat too, so I'll be happy with whatever is chosen.
Thanks again for putting so much effort into getting this started. Just tell me what to do, and I'm on it :-)
In Christ,
Christine
