This winter I took myself on a zine residency in Florida. I used that time away from my children to finish a major project: scripting and assembling [Ritual Podcast](https://ritualvermont.com/?ref=cutelittlepaperblog.com). 

I also created these four new zines during my four day long "residency". This one I have been working on for months but finally finished it:

The experience of creating the entire zine on Google docs and formatting for a booklet was great. So I made this one next:

I have written one perzine about my [two abortions](https://www.cantocutie.com/product/Ways-to-hold-a-chicken/ZBBKD446DF6XDGKUKQLUOCKY?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false&ref=cutelittlepaperblog.com). It's one of my most shared zines. I give it out to a lot of people for free. The reception made me want to ramble on and on about another profound experience in my life: growing up religious.

I also wanted to make a zine about pop culture:

These are have to do with motherhood:

I also took this time to create new hyperlocal work re: massages and bagels. I actually wrote and formatted the entire bagel zine in the airport on the way home.

I highly recommend taking yourself on a zine residency. I created eight just because I had time in the sun, by myself, to think and feel and create.
