Zine Review - Word Salad No 2
October 14th 2008 14:52
I wasn’t sure it was possible, but Comyn delivers again, giving us a double-sized portion of the mental health care system from those who can talk about it the best, the people who have survived it. This issue was actually the first I bought before I carried it, and it has a permanent place in my collection. Beginning with, “Souviners of Childhood”, continuing on with, “Surviving Restraints” and “Ghost of Christmas Past” the works in this zine are without question some of the most powerful writing you’ll read in any periodical. I cannot say enough good things about this zine because the English language is not powerful enough to deliver the plethora of emotions you get when you experience this title. Tastes like: Word Salad

This enquiry is to Orble writers. I would like to get your opinions and experiences of using this site. I am very curious.
I got onto it in response to an ad for Writers -on Seek, I think- and mainly as a means of writing discipline. Setting up the blog was a bit of an ordeal. I wasn’t aware until after I had set up that I needed to also sign up with Adsense to actually get any payment. That was another ordeal but Orble helped by answering my questions/giving advice. Since the blog has been up and running they have ignored my messages.
I did some posts then began to wonder if it was all a bit of a scam. I cleared off my posts on Filmenator because I didn’t want someone else to be offered my blog if I left it unattended- just as I had been offered another person’s film blog, including their writing. As a means of research(I was still curious) I then started a new blog – Celebrity Gossip and posted some rubbish with titles that I thought might attract traffic
It seems that there is only a handful of members who regular post and seem to be in contact with each other and I know that some of them are Orble employees. This thing has pricked my naturally cynical nature. I would love to find out what others have experienced.
HOW did you find out about Orble?
WHAT is your experience using it?
IS IT what you expected?
IS IT good for expression/communication/
support/opinions/ideas/whatev er?
DO you get valuable feedback?
DO YOU have any desire for contact beyond online?
HAVE YOU made any income from it?
Does ANYONE know exactly how the income is generated?
ARE THERE bloggers employed by Orble – or On Topic Media?
Thanks ahead for your reply.
