Goodbye, Write Away....

Hi everyone,

I have to admit, when Ellis & I first undertook the privilege of keeping Write Away! going, I never imagined that I'd ever want to give it up. However, as things have incredibly changed personally for myself and my co-editor in this last half-year or so, we believe we've got to let WA! go. It's sad, we know...

How did this come about?
Well, frankly, in my personal excitement to see WA continue, maybe I didn't realize that I had so much on my hands already. I've found that the lack of time has made it harder to keep up the quality of the magazine and the organization and communication associated with working with all our authors. In short, both Ellis and I have been short for time for Write Away; and what's worse - we don't potentially see any extra time coming our way in the future either.


Also, just so everyone knows, the blog and the website will stay put. You will still be able to go to both places and see & download the information there. However, the monthly assembling of articles & stories will stop and we won't be offering to mail the printed version anymore. We reluctant about having to do all this, especially since we personally enjoyed WA! so much, but we trust you all will understand.
I would like to kindly ask you to either email me, or comment on this post, and share your thoughts. Even if Write Away-ers have to part ways, you all as friends and writers never have to give up your connection with us! Keep writing and stay connected. Who knows? Maybe someday, WA! will come back bigger and better than ever before.

Thank you all for helping us out during this short, sweet existence of Write Away! and may God bless you all.
