This is the first issue of the HomeCraft Personal Journal and I
think we are off to a good start. We've got some interesting
articles covering a wide variety of topics. And we've got some
great new software based on a new shareware program called the
Illustrated Reader. (If you are thinking about putting together an
on-disk publication, pick up a copy of the Illustrated Reader.)
Since this is a new publication you probably have no idea what it's
about. Our name is the HomeCraft Personal Journal because this
publication is about people. I've spent a lot of time thinking
about what I want our editorial philosophy to be and the types of
subjects I want to cover. I had a tough time with this. There
are too many things I want to do!
So I did what I always do when I face a complex question. I got
down to basics and asked myself the question, "Why did I decide to
publish the HPJ?" The answer is that I wanted to do something to
help people. That's what the HomeCraft Personal Journal is all
about - helping people. But, we are going to do it in a different
way, because I believe that understanding other people is the basic
building block upon which all else is built. This is not going to
be a magazine filled with self-help articles. This is going to be
a magazine about people -- the problems we have, who we are, what
we do (and why), what we like, dislike and what we think. The HPJ
is about getting to know each other better. And maybe, as we get
to know each other, you can offer your experiences and advice to
help some of the people you read about in the HPJ.
Thanks right. We want to hear from you. If you think you can help
any of the people you read about in this issue, please send us your
advice. If you disagree with anything you read, we want to hear
from you. If you have a problem you need help with or a story
you'd like to tell - please write it down and sent it to us.
If you'd like to tell your story or write an article - send it
to us. That's right! We want to put your story in the HPJ! I
want to hear from you.
Write to: Robert Johnson, Editor H.P.J., P.O. Box 1123, Cannon
Beach, OR 97110
You can also contact us via our BBS at 503-692-0382 (see the
section on using our BBS for more information) or via fax at 503-
692-0382.
I'd particularly like to thank Stanley Schmidt for joining the HPJ
with his editorials. Mr. Schmidt is a well know science fiction
writer and editor of Analog Magazine. His editorials express some
very common sense views and I feel they do a good job of helping us
establish what we want the HPJ to stand for. (Common sense,
helping each other, and living together in peace).
And please don't forget to pay for this issue of the HomeCraft
Personal Journal. We pay the writers and artists who produce the
HPJ and, if you don't send us the registration payment, there will
not be any future issues. The HPJ will go broke. That's the way
it is with a business. No money coming in means no product goes
out.
And what do you get if you send the registration payment for this
issue? For $4.00 you are helping to pay for this issue and insure
that there will be another issue. For $7.00 ($10.00 outside North
America) you'll also get a copy of the next issue, mailed to you as
soon as it is available. And keep in mind, that if you have a
business
and you'd like to tell lot's (make that lot's and lot's) of people
about your product or service, the HPJ is the way to get the word
out.
IN THE NEXT ISSUE...
Another editorial by Stanley Schmidt
Where This Man Has Gone Before - Frank returns to interview
nude table dancers.
Helping Small Children Learn To Read
And more of your thoughts -- political and personal comments.
Plus more... (you'll love it!)
There's an order form at the end of this introduction. Just use
the page print feature of the HPJ to get a printed copy. To do
this, push PgDn until the order form appears on the screen. Then
push F2 to display the menu. Now press #2 to print the current
screen.
I hope you enjoy this issue, and find it to be fun and useful. And
please, tell us what you think.
Robert Johnson
Editor, HomeCraft Personal Journal
