The September 2007 issue of Squills is probably our best ever. Snoink has a great article on using dreams in fiction, Firestarter has a tribute to the late David Gemmell, Sam has a story recommendation, Mesh & Claudette have a very funny article at my expense, and perforatedxhearts has part II of her three part series on the Zen of Writing. There's also a list of the top 10 sites for young writers, and some interesting posts you may have missed (who knows, maybe one of your posts got mentioned!). On top of all that, there's a great flash fiction story by Dreamer.

So read, cherish, and love! If you haven't already, just click on the Squills button/link at the top and enjoy!

And if you have already read it, what did you think?

EDIT: An html version is now available.

There'll be an html version coming soon. I'm trying to get a lot of the graphics into it, but it's looking like I'm going to have to make the html version text only. Still, you'll be able to read it one way or another here soon!

It's all explained here:

You can skip to the last paragraph to find out how to submit, but be sure to read all the guidelines :P
