(the exclusive writeThis interviews)
intro:

Dear Readers,

We've taken some time between issues due to vacations, births, publishing issues, gambling debts and of course plotting to steal votes in the up coming American election. This may be our last issue in this format. It
may not be, but it might. I tell you this so you can make sure you take the time to really enjoy this extra
large offering.

To start with I'd like to point out the very first haikus that we've ever published here. Or at least that
I can remember and I've been here since, we'll...since some time ago. Anyway, these haikus Kabuki are probably the things Basho wanted to write if he had the skill. There I said it. What are you going to do about it?

We've got more traditional writeThis poetry - if there is such a thing - by Craig Kirchner and Aryan Kaganof.
Do some of these people honestly believe we think these are real names? Darnell? Come on!

Enjoy some sour milk by Wayne Bowman, a strange flash fiction by Yvonne Chism-Peace that was included in here mostly because we think Yvonne whatever her last name
is knows voodoo. Don't ask us how we might know this.

Wow, this is a big issue. For big issues we need big stories. Dan Schneider provides some of that and Josh Davis brings it home with  his electric kickwriting style.

To finish off we bring you the interview that will shock and awe you. Another first for writeThis we print a freelance interview. We wouldn't normally do this but
this isn't a normal interview and well...we're not normal.

As always send your questions and comments to editor@writethis.com
