Many thanks to Kurt Morris for this review of my zine "Indoor Thoughts" for Razorcake! It's incredibly validating for me because it's some of my most vulnerable writing to date. ♥️♥️

Image description: Close-up photo of a printed review of the zine *Indoor Thoughts*. The review describes the zine’s short essays about illness and writing, including the author’s experiences with ADHD, masking, keratoconus and impaired vision, and journaling as a way to process illness. The reviewer, Kurt Morris, writes positively about the zine and recommends it to readers who connect with these themes.

Ok the George Michael/Jonghyun zine is done and the test print looks cute! Very proud of it. Unfortunately I won't have it in the shop until later this month because I won't be home to ship things out but I may have it available for presale.

The Musical Legacies of George Michael of Wham and Kim Jonghyun of SHINee.”

Cover Details

At the top are large initials: “GM” and “JH.”

There’s a musical staff with notes flowing across the header.

The bottom half features black-and-white photos:

On the left is George Michael, styled in a classic late-’80s/early-’90s portrait pose.

On the right is Kim Jonghyun, looking upward in a dramatic portrait.

Inside Pages

“Songwriting and Performance Legacies”

“More Than Just a Singer and Songwriter”

The text discusses:

Their similarities as singer-songwriters.

George Michael’s Faith era and chart success.

A section about Wham!, including a black-and-white photo of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley together.

A caption that reads:
“Wham, c. 1985 (Their Imperial Year)”
