Lovely piece and I think we can't say this enough, for all to finally believe it.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of creating the neighbourhood magazine. I wrote the first copy for it, my own texts and cut-out images also from other children's books. Then I pleaded with my father to write by hand multiple copies so I can give them to my friends. 😆 This was pre-xerox and pre-phones era of course.. my poor father...! The magazine didn't last long, but here I am again making online newsletters, my kind of "magazine", even as a grown-up.

I've been traveling for the past three weeks, but I'm finally getting around to replying. Thank you so much, Monica, for taking the time to read and show your support! I had replied in your restack asking about the magazine, but maybe you missed it. This neighborhood magazine sounds amazing! How many issues did you have your dad write? I wish all neighborhoods had something like that! It's so creative! I would have never thought of doing something like that as a child. How old were you when you started?
