| Welcome to Limp Wrist, an e-zine with a queer sensibility. Never fear heterosexuals! At LW, we don’t discriminate hetero vs. homo; we discriminate fagulous (AKA fabulous) vs. lousy. When I started out on the Limp Wrist adventure, I was Dorothy without a Toto (with the fabulous ruby slippers of course). As I started to brainstorm and flush out ideas, I picked up Montgomery Maxton (AKA my scarecrow). Montgomery graciously offered his services to be the web guru for LW as well as the artistic editor. Next, we picked up Charles Jensen (AKA our adorable cowardly lion), who is our Blurb editor. Well, we are one short of a full Wizard of Oz crew, but I am sure at some point on our journey we’ll find our tin man or woman who’ll want to join the LW family to handle fiction submissions. This year we will be working to obtain non-profit status for LW. One of your goals is to offer a creative writing scholarship for gay high school seniors. If you are interested in helping LW obtain non-profit status, send me an email! We plan to offer a yearly chapbook competition open. We’ll have more information available on the first annual LW chapbook competition toward the end of the year. Yes, the chapbook is open to EVERYONE, well, as long as the entry fee is sent with the submission. I need to give a hearty thank you to Outwrite Books for hosting the Limp Wrist launch party; visit Outwrite's website to find what your bookshelf is missing. The launch wouldn't have been delicious without Jenny Allen's donation of Jenny J's Cheese Dip and baked goods from Cousins Baked Goods. Feel free to contact Cousins Baked Goods at cousinsbakedgoods12 {at} yahoo {dot}com. Last but certainly not least, I need to thank Montgomery Maxton for his dedication and hard work in developing the LW site and first issue. Without Montgomery my LW dream would not be coming true. Contact Montgomery if you need a website designed. I'm sure he'll have no problem providing you with his rates, and I can vouch that he is a pleasure a to work with! I suppose I should wrap this up…..I am thrilled to have the debut issue of LW feature work from talented and distinguished poets whose work I admire like Denise Duhamel (pinch me, am I dreaming), Beth Gylys, Dara Wier, David Trinidad, and Cecilia Woloch. And the first issue contains an interview with the talented and fierce Laure-Anne Bosselaar. Again, welcome to Limp Wrist. We appreciate your interest in LW more than you can know.
