928 is now my favorite number in the universe. After many months of waiting, I’ve finally managed to get myself signed up for one of the journals in the 1000 Journals Project. It might be a while before I see it (read: months) but I’m just happy that I will get to contribute to this facinating project, and leave my creative mark on the pages of #928.
