a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Writer";i:1;s:6:"Reader";i:2;s:6:"Editor";}
If a writer, are you published, pre-pubbed, or self-published?

As a writer, what type of stories do you Write or Read?
Fantasy, non-fiction inspirational, Christian Speculative Fiction, speculative fiction

My first book is a creative writing book titled Pumping Your Muse. It's a collection of writing exercises that promote the creation of related ideas that provide the groundwork for a novel length project. The fun part for me is that these exercises spawned my YA fantasy novel Windwalker and my upcoming novel Beyond the Fifth Gate. So for those who read Pumping Your Muse the examples provided reveal the foundation and birth of the words in this novels as well as the introduction and growth of the major characters.

Where has this year gone? I guess when you’re busy time really does fly because mine has certainly taken wing.

WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.

We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.

I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.

The Tipping Point Workshops (TTP WORKSHOP TAB),
The Contest announcement page (CONTEST TAB)
The Bookmark giveaway page (BOOKMARK TAB)
The Free reads page (FREE READS TAB).

Our book discussion club, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, is going strong. We’ve had good participation and if you haven’t kept up with some of our adventurous discussion comments, you’ve missed the action.

We’ve also launched a new online newsletter, WRDF Online. Be sure to open and read your copy when it comes. You never know what you might be missing.

Lastly, you’ll notice a new WRDFCalendar Tab on your page. What a nice way to keep all our members notified of current and up-coming events. You’ll notice that Fridays are Guest blog days at Between the Lines. Why not take a moment, check the calendar, and reserve a couple of spots for yourself during 2009. You can request your dates at: promo@lyndacoker.com

Thank you for spending time with us. Stay safe and well,
Lynda

Really? I had Joan send out an invite to all our authors about this site about a month ago. I haven't had as much time to spend here as I'd like. Just not enough hours in the day.
