The key to a good story structure is to write a great beginning and a great ending and keep them close together.” — Anonymous

Structure

In this last year I find myself appreciating structure ever more. I need it for my day to make sense and I need it to order my life, both in time and in space. Structure grounds me, but it also gives me the ability to fly. In this issue we want to share that with all of you, our dear readers and our lovely contributors have once again helped us bring so much stuff to you that we hope you will enjoy.
So a great thank you to all of you for being here and a special thank you to those who have sent in articles, puzzles and all sorts of other wonderful pieces to ALTE. We appreciate you and hope that everyone reading will enjoy this issue.

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.
  
• We have a great article from our very talented writers. This time we learn about the Gigantic Sphere from Rorey .
  
• I'm amazed by how many of you submit to our Alte challenges! The Drabble Babble Challenge has a number of drabbles waiting to be read, and photos to been seen in the Photography portion.
• There are of course also BINGO this time! Lots of submissions for you to read and get inspiration to write your own!
