I’ve been “editrix” of Growing Pains and Rapid Release for three rewarding years. The time has flown by!

Ho, ho, download this!

My work for SOJ has given me the opportunity to continually research our wide world of play and make connections in this rich community — and for that, I am filled with gratitude.

It's time to step back for a moment, as I take a step into motherhood. I will give birth to a beautiful baby girl shortly.

August 2011 Growing Pains

Love kinky art? You'll love this issue.

Thanks to all those who contributed and to James Courtney for some amazing artwork.

As always, if you have stories, ideas, photos, articles and things to submit and want to be published, please send them to gpeditor (at) soj (dot) org.

I was in a Janus Business Meeting, whining about how no one submits writing to Growing Pains, nothing to print, blah, blah, blah … and my fellow Janus officers rallied with their support, encouragement, and article ideas. I sent some emails that night, and, lo & behold, the community responded! I ended up with more writing submissions than I could print in the December issue!

If you're on your way to the playa, be sure and take your copy of Growing Pains — it has a guide to this year's best kink camps and classes. The accompanying images (it’s all about the images!) are by photographer Eric Slomanson. He has been documenting Burning Man since 1997.

April 2010 Growing Pains

Thank you to all who contributed to this month's issue. Look for hard copies of them at NW Leather Conference and IMsL.

As always, I am eagerly awaiting your submissions at GPeditor AT soj DOT org.

Your Editrix,
HAVEN WILDE
