marvelous luminosity

Still giddy. Maybe more giddy?

I've been reading "how to start a magazine" by James Kobak. A lot of it doesn't really apply, since we're not really going with a big-scale, try-to-make-a-lot-of-money-doing-this magazine. But it's still interesting. I wish it were more like simple steps I'm supposed to take to start a magazine. Step 1: come up with an idea. Step 2: blah blah blah, etc. But I guess that would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Oh well.

But my next steps are these: 1. crystallize the editorial concept; 2. make a year's issue plan (eeeep! this one is daunting); 3. develop a business plan (eeep! also daunting!).

I think I am excited for the challenge.
