It's  a  lovely job, this is.  You get the satisfaction of producing and
editing  a  magazine  that people look out for, read and enjoy, and they
write  back  to  you  with  their  loving  comments,  their constructive
criticism  and their IFF and ASCII text ads, it's all ticking along like
a finely balanced clock.

BUT HOW ABOUT DOING SOME BLOODY ARTICLES!?!?!?!?!?  For days and days on
end we (collective term for those people who *DO* actually produce stuff
for  the  mag)  sit  on our arses trying desperately to wring a few more
ideas  out  of  that large lump of grey matter (or in Pex's case, not so
large, but equally useful) for bloody articles, simply because we've got
shitloads of space to fill and no files to fill it with!

True,  those  who  have  submitted  their articles have done us proud by
sending  us  plenty  to use, but if everyone who read The Word sent us a
couple  of  articles  -  well,  maybe  three or four then - we'd have no
trouble  in filling the mag with a plethora (ooOOOOoooh!) of diverse and
interesting  articles,  and  publication  day  would  become  a bit more
regular as well!

The  Word  is making ripples in the scene, far more than I ever expected
it  to  do, certainly.  If you want to get your name up in lights, or at
least  a  bit  of  ASCII  text, although it IS on the main menu as well,
which  means it MIGHT even get into a computer magazine if they snapshot
it,  and  then  loads of people would see your name, even if they didn't
know  who  you  are, but that doesn't matter because YOU know, er, where
was  I again?  Oh yeah, if you want all of this and more (?), jump on Ye
Olde  Bande  Waggon  (!)  that  is "The Word" and hang on for dear life,
there are no seatbelts, but the view's nice, or something...
