It's bad. I do keep back issues of the ones I'd like to query. I used to keep home decorating magazines for "someday" project. I've managed to part with them. I keep as many magazines as will fit on the shelf under my coffee table. When it begins to fill up, I purge. .-= Mary's blog ...<a href="http://adventuresinfreelancing.onsugar.com/4612472" rel="nofollow">Here's Your Chance to Win 500 Business Cards!</a> =-.

Karen, you do what you can. No one should pay for a subscription if they don't have time to read it. S, I do that too. Definitely takes up no space except drive space. I used to keep some PC magazines for a while. Finally, I forced myself to get rid of them as I realized if I am not cracking them open... they'll be outdated before I ever do.

As far as magazine subscriptions go, I'm down to one. It's full of a kinds of usefull computer related information so I have a hard time throwing them out (hence a pile of back issues, just in case). The plan, one day, is to put them in magazine holders and catalogue them so I can find articles as needed.

I let my subscription to Writer's Digest lapse recently, but now I want to start it back up again. I realize I miss reading that one. I've only been published in two magazines, Mothering and Oprah so I still have those hanging around. Guess it's time for me to query more! .-= Karen putz's blog ...<a href="http://deafmomworld.com/my-moms-view-of-my-birthday/" rel="nofollow">My Mom’s View of my Birthday</a> =-.

I let the magazines build up a little bit before I deal with them, though — when I have a stack that I'm ready to get rid of, I check if the local school wants them. The answer is usually yes — the art departments in particular like having a lot of magazines available for collage projects. .-= Thursday Bram's blog ...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Thursdaybramcom/~3/78SoFT1yKyA/ask-me-anything-edition-8" rel="nofollow">Ask Me Anything, Edition 8</a> =-.
