On the articles, composting, taking bio-waste materials and making it into fertilizer / rich soil. The other is about giving thanks for the things one has with a major twist, in fact it is three different ways of thinking about the same subject. One way is to think about it as doing magic across time (into the past) another is giving thanks, and the last is the fact that one should learn to want what they do have, before thinking about what they do not have. There are even more ways to think about it, but that is the main idea in my head.
As to the reason for early submissions…well I have found that it is easier to construct such things with what you “know” you have. Allowing time for improvements and such. Later if more articles that meet readability and subject matter requirements, they are still allowed but might be left out for a future publication…the due date is not totally solid but for most it should be considered such, for people who are good writers, it is not as necessary.
But in reality it is the Lead editor who sets deadlines and such, I would just submit that knowing myself and many of the “magickaly inclined” procrastination is a large part of our lives…getting things in at the last minute is common.
