Okay. As previously mentioned, I can totally read your mind. And I know the big Q on your mind right now is...

WhY lEmOn?

Yea. So. About that: sour. Sweet. Juicy... And do you know a person who doesn’t like something lemon-related? (Lemonade, lemon pie... Or, you know, maybe not lemon pie.) Heck, someone even made a SAYING about lemons – “If life gives you lemons, squeeze it so the juice spurts into your eyes. Then run around screaming because your eyes feel like they’re on fire. Then calm down and take a nice big juicy bite of lemon. Then run around screaming again because it’s so tart.” Sound familiar? Yes, I know – a classic!

ThIs ZiNE...

Is for you! Think: the world does NOT revolve around you. Wait, well, actually, um, here? It really does.

And it’s made (you know, thought of) by ONE OF YOU! Me. Darcy Book! 13 years old? Remember me? It’s called FREE SPEECH!

AND SINCE THIS IS THE 1ST ISSUE, WE’RE LOOKING FOR....

Writers. Got a story? You wanna tell the world how cool you are, or how when you were walking home from school yesterday you FOUND AN ORANGE? OMG! Okay... Go on. Tell it!

Song writers. Gonna make it big one day with your lyrics? Start here. (Like in Monopoly! Grab your metal thing and GO!)

RaNdOm PeOpLe! (In case you haven’t noticed.) Make a list of your fave things that are green – or pretty much anything! IDEA people, come runnin’!

“In” People. Do you know what the best song EVER is? Have a favorite Youtube vid, or want to show off your own? Know where to buy the wackiest sunglasses ever? Go ahead, advertise your supreme knowledge!

How-to Teens. Can you teach us how to meditate, write in another language, or do magic tricks? Do you have inside knowledge on how to make a really, really, really awesome, er, THING? Do tell.

Interviewers. Ya have an interesting life? Or a completely bland one (eh, somehow I don’t think so...). What’s your view on life in general, and what are your hobbies? It’s your turn to shine!

ANYONE ELSE?! Convinced you have no talent, but you still wanna be in? I’ll tell you what to do...
