Gone Strikin’: The Mail Situation

It’s official, people: Broken Pencil can no longer receive mail. We knew it was coming, but rather than read the news I actually showed up to dear old Station P in the middle of downtown Toronto to scope out the situation. Five people stood outside, sandwiched in signs, and another CUPW sign hung over the front door handles. It looked pretty bleak, but just to be really, truly sure I tested the doors. Locked. No one yelled “Scab,” but I wouldn’t have been surprised at “IDIOT!”

Until the strike is resolved, we’re going to ask everyone, for the first and only time, to deal with Broken Pencil as electronically as possible. Zinesters send us links to your e-zines or blogs at editor [at] brokenpencil.com. Publishers send in your fall books catalogues and PDFs of books to assisteditor [at] brokenpencil.com. Indie people on the internet, sigh, just keep doing what you’re doing.

  1. Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for first-time blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

  2. Howdy are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

  3. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you’ve done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

  4. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to know where u got this from. many thanks

  5. Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!

  6. Along with almost everything that appears to be building within this area, your points of view tend to be rather refreshing. Even so, I appologize, because I do not give credence to your entire plan, all be it exhilarating none the less. It seems to us that your opinions are not completely justified and in reality you are generally yourself not completely convinced of the point. In any event I did enjoy reading it.

  7. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome web site!

  8. Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back often!

  9. Together with almost everything that seems to be developing throughout this area, your points of view are generally rather radical. Having said that, I appologize, because I do not subscribe to your whole strategy, all be it radical none the less. It would seem to everybody that your comments are generally not totally validated and in fact you are your self not even entirely convinced of your point. In any case I did appreciate reading it.

  10. I wanted to follow along and let you know how great I appreciated discovering your web site today. I will consider it a great honor to work at my business office and be able to utilize the tips provided on your website and also be involved in visitors’ remarks like this. Should a position connected with guest author become on offer at your end, make sure you let me know.

  11. Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

  20. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Very good blog!

  21. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  22. Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!

  23. Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  24. Have you ever thought about creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.

  25. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks a lot!
