Chrysalis

As we begin our new year, we're looking forward to all your fresh literary and art submissions!  While the deadline to submit isn't until December 1st, why put off now what you know you want to do?

All our hard work was not for naught (does that even make sense?). I would like to say that for all our loyal, hungry Chrysalis audience, the time is nigh upon us when the publication will come to fruition. I must admit, I underestimated how much work UTEP required of me (this was my first semester enrolling in both EPCC and UTEP concurrently) and as a result, work was even more hectic than last year.
