Start Select Reset Zine #014 | You Can Just Do Things

Issue #014 of SSRZ is about my firm belief that ‘you can just do things’.

You Can Just Do Things #14 zines and 301 Permanently Moved stickers on a wooden table next to a white ribbed plant pot.

Start Select Reset is delivered straight to your snail mailbox šŸ“¬ four times a year!


Issue #014 – You Can Just Do Things

Two white cards on a grid mat listing creative outputs under the headings MAKE (music, art, cakes) and WRITE (blogs, books, poems).

Issue #014 of SSRZ is about my firm belief that ‘you can just do things’.

The essay reflects on the end of the conclusion of 301 and who it’s taught me that the distance between ‘idea’ and ‘upload’ should be as short as possible.

I also talk about the difference between knowing and capital-K (K)nowing. and that you really don’t need to ask anyones permission to create something and share something online.

The ‘the dream’ and ‘the doing’ of creative work are for you. The ‘done’ is for everyone else.

As I’ve said a couple of times since I had the realisation that the 301 format would conclude at Episode 301, Start Select Zine will now begin to play a much bigger role in my creative life. In a duel orbit with whatever the podcast is going to become over the next few years. I must admit that right now I have a much clearer vision for with I want SSRZ to be, than I do the show! But I’m excited to make and create and post it online, and send it in the post.

When I posted the last issue of the zine I mentioned that I’m thinking of starting a small press / label called ‘Family of Giants’ to now house SSRZ under, and I think that is going to go a head. I’d like it to be a collective of people with fairly low stakes involved, just an association under a logo. If you have anything that you are working on, are thinking about putting out in the near future, get in touch and lets talk!
