This is an 8-page pocket-sized zine created using a prompt from the Zine Idea Generator to "make a blackout poem zine that shows screenshots from your camera roll."  I went a couple steps further with this challenge and limited myself to only screenshots that were already on my phone, and to take no new screenshots for the purpose of using in this zine. I also made the black out poetry from scree…

I mean... My name is Beth, Elizabeth is one of the best characters ever, what more can I say? Seriously though, BioShock Infinite is one of my favorite games of all time. The story is incredible, and there are some absolutely remarkable quotes. One of them really hit home for me due to my terrible memory: "The mind of the subject will desperately struggle to create memories where none exist."  T…

This is a short, true tale of independence. Of biting into a cold piece of pizza and discovering how wonderful life can be. A celebration of individuality after a (fairly) long life of being who I "should be." This 8-page zine was written for the #minizinejuly23 challenge on Instagram posted by @blancisthecreative. The prompt for July 6-10 was Throwback, with instructions to "Take us back to the …

I've been cranking out zines left and right this month, but when I hit the "Memories" prompt I was stumped. Angel came up with such a beautiful zine for the month celebrating her grandmas, but I sat here like... "What memory should I write about"? It wasn't about narrowing down my choices, it was about picking literally anything at all that I haven't written about a million times. Even my discover…

When I was a kid, we'd go to Toys R Us for video games. They carried NES and then SNES titles, and it was so magical exploring the aisles, checking out the game boxes, and choosing one. Reading the manual on the way home or at a restaurant (or both) is something I'll never forget loving, even though my memory is awful   This zine is a celebration of that feeling, that exploration and discovery, a…

An 8-page zine written for the #minizinejuly23 challenge on instagram posted by blancisthecreative. The prompt for July 31st was 24 hr Zine, with instructions to "Make a mini zine about anything within 24 hours! Or take on the original challenge of 24 pages in 24 hrs!"   I had intended for the 24 hr zine to be a game but I got a pretty late start today. After about an hour of working on the game …

When I was trying to figure out what to write for a pocket guide, I went back into my old reliable well of "what would be helpful for ME." And the answer was: a lil booklet of stuff I often have to Google! Or, well, Bing (for the Microsoft Reward Points!), but "Stuff I Often Bing" doesn't sound as cool. The zine covers: Several different grammatical topics (I do a good amount of editing work, incl…

Lone Soles is a poem written in celebration of the heritage and tradition of Native American rain dancing. About an unwavering spirit that didn't give up until he received what he sought.   Mini Zine July 2024 This 8-page pocket-sized zine was written for the #minizinejuly24 challenge from Blancisthecreative on instagram. The prompt for July 1 - 5 is Celebration! "Put together a mini zine to cel…
