It's summer time, and you know what that means: summer vacation! We hate to disappoint our millions of hypothetical readers, but July and August have been busy months for us. Two of our editors have fled across the Atlantic and don't have time to work on Mosaic Minds. Our editor in chief is moving from Oregon to Washington DC and doesn't know exactly when she'll have Internet available to her. We worked hard on a plan to stick to our schedule, but we finally realized that all the stress was affecting the quality. It's better to hold off a couple of weeks and have a great issue, than upload the results of hyper-stressed out people just to be on time.

So come back by on September 1 and you'll find fresh stories all about self-acceptance. If you're a writer, this gives you a little more time to submit your work. Please check out the side bar for up-to-date submission deadlines.
