The day had dawned

Yea - its here! Dreamweek was released today at Red Rose Publishing. Its such a weird feeling seeing one's 'baby' all set out for all the world to see.

It's when I connect with my story, whem I feel my characters. For me, this is the creative side. Once I put down on pc, it then becomes a ' business". Does anyone else work the same way?

BEAUTIFUL PROSE V INSTANT FIX

This topic recently came to the fore on one of my web groups. Do movies do justice to the novel from hence they sprung? Does the modern generation prefer the visual masterpiece of…e.g. Lordof the Rings, Alice in Wonderland and so on as opposed to sitting down andwading through what is now sadly considered by many as long-winded unnecessary prose?God help us all, if this is the case.Don’t get me wrong, I adore movie versions of the great classics. Let’s take Tolkien’s epic as an example.Lord of…See More

GERI'S BOOK REVIEWS commented on Viviane Brentanos's blog post There is no balance of power in love.

"Very Interesting. So much you pointed out is 'Pure Truth' especially in Relationships considered to be filled with Unconditional Love. Such a tough topic, so much to ponder on, so much food-for-thought. Most important, there are many…"

There is no balance of power in love.

I posted this comment on Facebook to see what kind of response I received. None, so far, so I decided to turn it into a blog.My 19 yr old daughter asked me what I meant buy it. Good question. I have a theory, one you may not all agree with.Ok, so that’s the practical but what about the depth of feeling?Who remembers the game of love? Shall I call first…do I wait for him/her to ring first? Will I appear weak if I show how much I care? Ok, so that’s the practical but what about thedepth of…See More

Hi to all from not so sunny Corfu {roll on summer}

Well, its been a while but sometimes, as you all know, life has a way of interrupting the artistic flow. It's been a tough year for me. Saying that, I managed to complete my 2009 summer wip and I am now in the process of tweaking it, ready for the submission trail.

Good news! Dreamweek has been taken up by Red Rose Publishing and I am so happy to be joining many of my fellow ex-Tiger authors there. Editing has begun and I hope to… Continue

At 12:10pm on March 17, 2011, Mike O'Hare said…: Many thanks for the link up. I’m looking at ways where we can help each other promote our material and ourselves. I suppose it begins with good communication. Did you have anything in mind in addition to this? I'm not that experienced in writing but I have a wealth of knowledge about people. This is the cover to my co-written book. I'd be happy to post yours on my page. All you have to do is ask :-)

At 11:53am on March 17, 2011, Mike O'Hare said…: I'm in the throes of helping to breathe a bit of extra life into WRDF. Can we be friends? If so, please add me.

At 1:07pm on December 1, 2008, Lynda Coker said…: 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, The Tipping Point Workshops, our contest announcement page, our bookmark giveaway page, and our free reads page. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.

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: btlblog@lyndacoker.com

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