HOMEPAGE
Well, unfortunately this will be the last print issue of Illogical Muse � at least for now. Lack of finances and time prevent me from continuing along with a print publication. The Best Of 2008 issue will be online only and will probably be done either December or January, followed by the winter 2009 issue in February.

The photo you see on the cover � called Intensity � was taken by photographer artist Kendra Eager. As was the rest of the unique photos throughout the mag. She has many of her prints for sale on her website:
http://web.mac.com/aliceleftwonderland. Be sure to check it out. Some of her profits go to different charitable organizations.

Last quarter�s writing exercise is still up on the MySpace page if anyone wants to participate. If you remember it is an I Am poem, which is more difficult to compose than one might think.

Other than that, there are no other announcements at this time. So, if you don�t hear from me before next year, everyone be safe through the holidays. Thanks for reading!

Sincerely,
Amber Rothrock
