A new week, a new weekly journal.

The octo-issue if you’re counting.

Let us just say it - these days are getting long. For better and for worse. The future looks near and far and everything in between and all we want to do is sit outside on a sunny day and feel the warmth on our face. And have a drink. Or four. Possibly before one ‘o’ clock and the aforementioned sunny day.

And then a nap. A long one.

Because what is time, right?

Grab a copy. It is, unequivocally, a good thing.

ALSO,

WE ARE TAKING SUBMISSIONS FOR THE JOURNALS OF THE FUTURE.

We mean upcoming journals, not journals from distant eras where food is merely powder we hoover up our food nostril (the left one, you never hoover with your right nostril, ‘cause gross).

And we really think you should submit something.

Your submission just needs to adhere to these guidelines.

The Guidelines:

1. We’re accepting prose, poetry, non-fiction and art.

2. No more than 750 words.

3. We’ll accept multiple pieces as long as they’re no longer than 750 words combined.

Send submissions to: theracketreadingseries@gmail.com

AS OF NOW, JUST DOWNLOAD ISSUE EIGHT OF THE JOURNAL.

EVERYONE ALWAYS SAYS SHARING IS CARING. AND WE LIKE TO THINK OF OUR READERS AS CARING PEOPLE. YOU KNOW PEOPLE WITH HEARTS LIKE RAYS OF SUNLIGHT JUST BURSTING FROM THEIR CHESTS. THAT KIND OF CARING. AND YOU - READER, HEART LIKE A GLEAMING GOLDEN NUGGET, PULSING YOUR DEEP LOVE FOR YOUR FELLOW HUMAN, DAY IN AND DAY OUT - IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE JOY OF CARING, THEN WE BELIEVE A PATH TO CARING CAN BE FOUND IN SHARING.

Anyways, download the thing. If you like it pass it to your pals.

HERE YOU GO. DOWNLOAD TIME.
