Dear Sparklezillians,

What have your editors been up to this past year? Everything ranging from intense amounts of college and work to adventures, art making and illnesses etc. We love Sparklezilla and we are dedicated to continuing it’s awesomeness. But we want to be realistic and practical. So we decided that until our lives calm down a little, we would rather to put out 1 super, fantastic, amazing, and outstanding issue a year instead of multiple rushed issues. We really spent a lot of time on this issue, and we hope it shows. As always we aim to be bigger and better in the future. We look forward to working with your awesome submissions.

******THE NEXT DEADLINE IS: MONDAY MARCH 5, 2012. ******

Send your decorated grocery lists, awesome photos, crazy recipes, funny drawings and more from now until March 5th to SPARKLEZILLAMAGAZINE@GMAIL.COM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLEZILLA! The summer issue of Sparklezilla will be the 1-year anniversary issue for the magazine! To celebrate this momentous occasion we would like to make the summer issue an anonymous issue. You can use a pen name if you like, or no name at all. The important thing is that the entire issue will be a mystery. The submission deadline for that issue will be June 27th. Then that issue should be ready to read by mid to late August! We are also going to try to put together some sort of celebration to mark this landmark issue in Sparklezilla history, so please continue to check back here for more information!

COMING SOON – SPARKLEZILLA.COM !!

Friday Idea Party: Amanda Sue Wilson or Mandy

asuperheromusical — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 22:17:39 +0000

Today’s Writing Ideas: 

Idea number one. 

Really, id like to know the thoughts that run through everyone’s  
head. Daily. By the minute. Think…explaining your tweets…where the  
hell do they come from? For example… 

“I was sitting in starbucks. Waiting for my coffee. I had to run to  
the restroom. As I leave Starbucks, coffee in hand, I tweet “mmm… 
juicy.” 

..no one on twitter knows what that means. But I do. You could say  
that I was speaking of my…juicy? Coffee…but what I was really  
thinking was that it was really hott outside. And my groin was  
sweating.” 

Obviously, that’s a crude example. But what’s new if you’re  
talking to me? I’m sure we all say random things…or maybe not so  
random….But what interests me is how all these little tweets are  
interpreted, and what they’re supposed to mean. Why exactly did we  
choose the words we did? What interest do we want to generate in  
order to get some kind of validation? Or is that the case at  
all?...is this why facebook is addictive? It’s some weird imagined  
community that we can easily belong to? 

1.     Thought. Explanation. 

2.     Thought. Explanation. 

Write a paragraph about it. Or just list it. Whatever. 

Interest number two. 

What is the point of YOUR life? What is important, who is ‘just not  
getting life’ to you? Do certain people take longer than others to  
‘get it’, or do we all really just differ? Can you ‘get it’  
without having to live it?  Or do you have to have the balls to live  
it in order to claim ‘getting it’?  What kind of people might  
understand life more than others, and vice versa? There are so many  
different types of communities/upbringings/people.  All of our  
perceptions are different. It’d be interesting to put them in one  
place. 

Idea number three. 

How important is health? What do you consider healthy living/being?  
What makes you healthy? What…doesn’t? Are there unhealthy habits  
that make you happy, therefore deeming them healthy? Or do you  
believe that’s …just plain crap? 

Question number four. 

Why is it important to express yourself? 

Perspective number five. 

Your favorite life-making memories. Relating back to what’s actually  
the point of life, what is healthy, maybe?—what makes you happy? 

Example, 

What are the things that you want to tattoo on YOUR life, to make  
YOUR statement, to leave YOUR footprint? What kind of footprints do  
you like seeing, but might not see yourself living? (see why it’s  
awesome that we don’t all want to make the same ones?) 

What are some things that you said ‘fuck it’ about, and gained a  
really great perspective or moment from doing so? 

…and were there times when you should have been more careful?  
Personally, I’ve never regretted a thing. I love the scars I have.  
Yours? 

Write a paragraph, or even a list, of the memories (things, people,  
adventures) that define you and your generation. Or, if you haven’t  
lived them yet, the ones that you imagine should! 

Bonus 

Log a picture and a song to summarize every day. Either how you felt,  
or your favorite thing you did!  Give it twenty days. Where’d you  
journey?
