I'm
enchanted.... but I didn't get to sleep last night, because I
clicked on to a link on Boggle. I
also read the three articles in issue 12, concerning
synchronicity, and the book recommendations, and today I'll
read the past issues. In
the words of our Governator.... "I'll be baaaaack". God
bless, Christine in Los Angeles

I think its a great place for budding writers to hone their talents and gain some confidence. I would like to know if you are taking any submissions for the year 2004 and when is the next last date?

This
isn't so much about Be Real as it is about Richard Bach. I am
Chairman and Chief Editor of Hampton Roads Publishing Company.
We have just published Richard Bach's "Messiah's
Handbook" -- the book Donald Shimoda was quoting in
Illusions. Thanks
for your own work spreading the word! Our URL is www.hrpub.com Best

This
last letter is a response to the invitation sent by the
publisher to the mailing list, the invitation follows this
letter. I
stumbled upon Be Real Magazine during a very difficult time in
my life. I had just found out that the love of my life was
engaged to be married to another woman (he had been engaged the
entire length of our relationship, but as all pathological liars
do best, he hid it from me completely), felt like I was going
nowhere with my job, and I felt completely alone, isolated and
clueless. As I was surfing the net at work I somehow found my
way to Be Real magazine. After reading through the beautiful
tales in your synchronicity issue, I saw parallels in your
talented writers' lives that reasonated with my own. Your
independent, free-flowing, and free-thinking magazine helped
give me hope that life does get better. You take in the bad
(even the awful), as you do the good. As we go through our very
own trials and tribulations in life, we as human beings have
each other to get us through. Even if we don't know each other,
we can still provide counsel and inspiration to each other
through writing and creativity. With
that said, whatever you choose for Be Real Magazine's next
chapter, I know that it will be something of value. I hope that
I can help in any way possible. I would like to become a part of
a community that has helped me through a very dark time in my
life and made me realize that the world is my oyster. Thanks
and keep up the great work! Name
Withheld The
original letter: Happy Monday...

Dear Julie:
My beautiful six month old daughter is napping next to me. I want to
get up for the candy corn I bought yesterday, but if I do, she'll wake,
so instead I'll type.
There's something new waiting for Be Real Magazine, I keep waiting
perhaps too patiently for "what's next" to show up knocking at my door.
There are a few ideas playing bumper cars in my brain, but none of them
I can do alone.
I ponder transforming Be Real into a nonprofit organization, that
promotes new writers, musicians, and artists, but how? I dream of
adding new life and energy into the virtual pages, but how?
So here I am, doing what I do worst, I'm asking for help.
I am seeking out ideas for what you would like, treasured readers and
contributors, what would benefit you? Is the magazine perfect the way
it is, and maybe I'm just getting restless being at home, my routine
dictated by someone two feet tall? Maybe we just need to keep on
putting out an issue every three to four months? Do you like what
you're reading?
What would make a difference to you?
Post to the list, if you like, or
email me directly if you prefer at "whatsnext at berealmag dot com".
But do let me know, as at the moment I feel a bit stuck and could use your
advice-tow-trucks to help me out.
best,
Julie Russell
