The Courage to Try

Trying something new or starting something you've never done before is rarely easy. It requires courage to face the unknown, but the reward is always worth it. In this issue we've gotten so many different views of courage and I hope you will all enjoy them as much as we editors have. We appreciate all  of you; readers and writers alike so much. Thank you for making the  Alte what it is.

As always, we would of course love to hear any comments and feedback you may have. If you wish to contact us, you can do so through e-mail or by the handy little form at the bottom of this page. On behalf of the Alte staff, we hope you enjoy this Issue, and all of which to come.

     This Issue in the Alte:

• The ads section is back in full swing with lots of great opportunities. Though if  puzzles are more your thing, I suggest you try some of the great puzzles we have this month. 
• This Issue Vanessa Tilley teaches us some facinating fact about the colour orange in her new column "The Colour of the Month".
• We have several articles from our very talented writers. Among them an article about Harry Potter Activism,  Upcoming TV Shows for Fall 2018 and This Month in HP History for October.
• We also have a great article on Courage in Literature by Shiloh Adlar.
• I'm amazed by how many of you submit to our Alte challenges! The Drabble Babble Challenge has a number of drabbles awaiting to be read, and photos to been seen in the Photography portion.
