School holidays begins... wuhoo!!

School holidays has begun and my neice and nephew are coming over for a sleepover. They've been waiting for weeks for this eventful night and I... well... I have to share my room with them. Apparently I don't get the luxury of kicking them out of my room and having my room to myself because all the beds and extra mattresses have been stored in my room conveniently for their sleepover purposes. ANYWAY... I digress.

We have a new section coming up as well called Travelogues, where you can submit your stories about a trip you made to where ever. Sometimes they most awe-inspiring or the weirdest things always happens to us when we make a trip somewhere or simply just take a journey to the unknown. If you're interested to tell us about your misadventures especially since now its school holidays, please send them to phasesonline@gmail.com.

Also, we are constantly taking poems, poetries and creative short stories submissions for The Cauldron. Email them to phasesonline@gmail.com as well. Thanks!

Men, Witches and a Songfest from a far...

Phases Online is due to shift to its new home, a real permanent home site. When? March 15. Where? http://www.phasesonline.net. We've got tons of stuff lined up in conjuntion with our Phases Online shifting. Events, activities, and a young writers' camp is also coming up on May 27-29.

Speaking of which, did anyone go to the book sales at MPH and Times? Got anything good? I did and I think I bagged about RM400 or so worth of books total from both MPH and Times. Madness. I know and there are other books I'm hunting for now too! Felt the book sale fever? Tell us about it at phasesonline@gmail.com. We may just publish your emails of your experiences!

Also, we're publishing a new section called "The Cauldron". This is the section that showcases submitted poems, poetries, short creative pieces, which are note-worthy. Not much butchering for this, but we encourage those creative expression writers or meticulate metrical poets at heart to write to us! Send us your poems, poetries, etc to phasesonline@gmail.com
