Editors Notes... 2.25 in x 2.1958 in JULY 2014 THOUGHTS FROM THE PLUBLISHER in the beginning... Dear Readers As undertakings go, this is more than massive! I had no idea that I could spend so much time on one page…. One page? One paragraph! It has taken me days to come up with the first article. I always considered myself a prolific writer. Never blocked, never hesitant, never at a loss for words. Well don’t let that old dog bite you in the ankle. Never say Never. And I never will again. Never. Cruz Castillo [email protected] The big surprise is that the interest the magazine has generated is amazing. Suggestions are coming from every corner of Winter Garden. Everyone has an idea, a topic, a picture, a secret desire to freelance. The subjects are interesting and diverse. So why is it so hard to write about any of them. Why am I seeing a blank sheet of paper where my award winning article or short story should be? I’m looking for answers. Looking for words. Trying to find that one spark of the pen that will start the flow. It may come from anywhere. It may be your comment that sets me free. I am counting on you.
