July's Zen Dixie magazine - all about Guilty Pleasures! (hint: mine is about anime)

[kashicat]

That's right. As soon as I heard that the July theme for the Zen Dixie magazine would be "Guilty Pleasures," I squeeeed mightily. Of course I was going to write about how anime was really written for adults, despite the silly ones. Ha

Gah! I'm so sorry this is two months later!! (Not really by choice -- I soooo need to find editing projects that pay a little better so I can lift up my head and breathe once in a while.) Seriously, my apologies. :-(

I'm not sure, now, whether you meant you wanted to know about the magazine in general or whether it was the "Guilty Pleasures" issue specifically.

The magazine is kind of a culture/arts/philosophy/personal mulling magazine, though it's got a heavy book review component and is gradually expanding to include reviews of other sorts too.

There's a theme issue every three months or so, and that one was, of course, "Guilty Pleasures." My own column (Roving Observer) is written kind of as a combination sociology/philosophy/world view kind of thing. There are some more specialty columns (such as "Paws," which relates animals and life themes, or "I'm the Mom"). And of course there is "Canada for Beginners," where two or three of the Canadian writers explain certain things about Canada to non-Canadians.

September was another theme issue, about heroes.

Anyway, again, my apologies for going this long before coming back to answer. And after I swore that I'd be more regular here, too! Gnargh.

I was interested in the magazine in general so thanks and don't worry about the time it took.

sounds interesting.

good luck with the rest of it
