The hall has been rented, the orchestra engaged and the booby traps have been set, hidden and forgotten.
Next month Saragun Springs becomes another publishing site, but it will not be just another publishing site due to the remarkably productive cases of mental imbalances that direct the run of the place. It is run by myself and Dr. Dale Williams Barrigar (often DWB and/or “The Drifter.”)
One key difference is the Springs remains a real dimesion in the creative universe. There is a Pygmy Goat named Daisy Kloverleaf who is as real as a person gets on this side of the veil. There are over two hundred various residents of the realm, and each one of us thjnks it is a high and fine idea to share space with writers and artists looking for new places to show their works, which all begins next month on Monday, 5 January.
The set up is rather free form and other than the Weekly Drifter every Sunday whatever happens will do just that. Mainly, items that will be selected will run daily and since that isn’t too hard to present, we are all for it.
There are cynics who feel that such an announcement has all the depth of introducing an individual snowflake during a blizzard. True, but there are also occasions when the universe can be improved by the silence of cynics. “Shut the fuck up” can be expressed in infinite ways, which are dictated by the patience of the advisor.
Today we once again present the Submission Guidelines as written by Dale. We aim to keep the site simple, but that should not be associated in any way with a lack of effort or caring on our part.
This current month will contain odds and ends with reruns of works presented throughout the year. It will all get new enough, anon.
Life is a draw up the play in the dirt sort of thing. It keeps the fear up and the energy flows. Such is the path we shall trod. Things will get gloss on them as time goes by, but I hope we never get slick.
