klinking in the distance has woken me. what could that sound be. walking closer and closer the sound grows like an expanding city... that's it. IT's gone, my fields my streams, my wetlands, my forests, my animals? Where have they all gone??? it is so hard to breathe now. choking on nothing it would seem, is it my shame? Why do I feel bad? I am one of these terrible things, ravenous appetite for destruction... progress. when will it stop? when we stop I guess, when we die. Sweet silence once agai…

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

Seeking a muse, aye?
Hey, if you're wanting to write a longer work, take hold of the muse that appears to you and never shuts up, the one that follows you round and whispers in your ear (or as is the case with some of mine) screams at you, until you begin to write his or her tale.
Also, there's nothing wrong with fleshing out scenes and creating short tales. Stop by my page and check out Lost and Found Muses to see what other authors say about what inspires them and keeps them writing. Maybe it'll help you. (o:
On my author blog I also ocassionally post writing tips if you're interested in that. Some I tag to here as well, but to check them all out, here's the URL:

I wish you all the best in your writing journey and many dark adventures when you read.
