+I'm gratified that this zine has a small but dedicated fan base who have a lot of great things to say about it. The feedback that I have gotten has been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate every single bit of it.
+
+It does make me sad, though, that I can't get these out on a more regular basis. When I was younger, I wrote all the time, but as I get older, I find that I write more slowly and often with great difficulty. Part of that is no doubt my current job (which I talk about chapter two) and part of it…well, all the things that go along with just trying to make it in this day and age. And a large part of it is no doubt due that I have short bursts when I get quite a bit done, and then long periods where I get nothing done. One of college professors said that I tend to ``run hot and cold'', some other people have told me that this sounds like bipolar disorder, and others have said that this is a natural part of the creative process for some people. I suppose there isn't any reason that it couldn't be all three.
+
+Another reason is that I find I write best when I can work longhand. There is just something about the feel of pen or pencil on paper that really gets my creative gears going. Once they get going, I can usually switch to working digitally without too many problems.

 Considering that my entire job exists to help keep the drug supply safe (well, the \textit{legal} drug supply) safe that statement may sound frightening or even disturbing. But it's not really. You want this job to be boring. When it's not boring, it's generally because something has gone wrong, and and this is one of those industries (like nuclear energy or airplane manufacturing) where you really don't want things to go wrong.

-I admit, I am pretty invested in Ubuntu. But I don't have to be that way. There are \textit{lots} of ways to swim in the Linux pool. Just doing a quick search for ``linux flavors'' yields a lot of options:
