Announcing “The BeZine – Best of the Net” Nominations

“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything … It’s the streaming reason for living.  To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a gret flower out of life, even if it’s  cactus.” British Author and Playwright, Enid Bagnold (1998-1981), best known for Natonal Velvet (1935)
