Draft Letter to Mslexia
Dear Mslexia, Six months ago I came back from 16 years in France where my life revolved around gardening. My plan on my return was to self publish my short stories which I had written before gardening became an obsession.
Moving from what I called my private paradise to a house with no garden in a street in a town was traumatic but I joined the local U3A writer's group for help and inspiration. Then lock down happened.
Light bulb moment, I'll subscribe to Mslexia again.
My first copy arrived and I felt that I was back in the writing community.
 I searched for my stories. I found lots of copies in lever arch files. I searched my current laptop, my old laptop and my tablet  and a few USB s .Where to start? 
I am now searching for an Editing and Critiquing Service and a Self-publishing service which I know I will find in your pages.
 I suffer from arthritis and due to the binding of your magazine I am unable to hold the pages open. My solution to this problem is to dismantle the  magazine completely so that all the pages are separate. I know I could read the publication on line but the arthritis limits my time on the computer. 
Thank you for still being in print,
Yours sincerely,
Freda Bateman
