What's The Most Expensive Education In The World? What's The Cheapest?
"The most expensive education is trial and error. In other words, you learn after a lot of trials and a lot of failures. It's often a colossal waste of your time, money and energy.
The cheapest education is book learning. Think about it. You get somebody else's entire lifetime of education, research and experience for $25 or less. It's so cheap that it's almost like stealing.

Goal Setting /Success
I work full time as a computer programmer and receive weekly tips from Dr. Zimmerman. Although the tips are geared to the business world I think they can be applied to the writing world and have great value.

If you write Christian historicals set in 1800s, there's a Yahoo marketing group for you http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CROWNfictionmarketing/
Unfortunately, I don't write that period. The idea of such a group is a good one.
I'm at Savvy Readers today as a guest blogger. Check out this new site. It's fantastic!

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

The pics I put out here are awful of me. I'm getting braver sharing my photo with the public. I need to get a good photo to put on my site but I want to shed a few more pounds. Standing next to Tess Gerritsen, who maybe weights 100 punds, makes me look even bigger than I really am.
Ciao! Kathleen Nordstrom
It's nice to meet you and welcome to Writers and Readers! Hope you have a blast here!
Miss Mae,
author of the bestselling romantic mystery, "See No Evil, My Pretty Lady" from The Wild Rose Press
