Getting an intense sunburn is a wonderful way to have a constant reminder of a great day at the beach! It’s a bright red indicator of happy times!
I’ve recently discovered that asking “Why am I doing this?” gets in the way of finishing things, so instead I’ve started asking myself “Why not?”
And so I decided to print over 200 copies of my mini-zine “Be More Awesome.” Now that the work is done, I get to enjoy deciding what to do with them! You may find one at a coffee shop tucked under a newspaper, or perhaps wedged in between a couch cushion at a bar. Maybe a friend has handed it off to you, in hopes of inspiring cheerful thoughts.
I’m not trying to convert you into any sort of idealogy with my words, I’m just trying to remind you that there’s no top limit to awesomeness. The contents of the mini-zine remind me each day, and I can only hope they spark something amazing in you as well.

This is my fourth and latest zine in the Path of Awesomeness series, and it’s all about how to enthuse people about your craft/art. It’s written from my experiences at the Portland Zine Symposium, and hopefully will help all the great zinesters and crafters communicate their passion for making things.
