While the last post to this thread was from nearly two months ago, I wanted to add a little something.
First and foremost I wanted to pose the question: What scares you?
I think the answer to that question goes a long way toward pin pointing mov...
I agree. It seems "scary" movies, any more, are just outings in gore and violence. Most are predictable, lack plot and character development, and are geared toward an audience who either doesn't want to or is unable to think.
The Village would be...
This is a question that is for no one in particular and anyone willing to offer a helping hand. To try and keep from rambling, I'll pose the question first and then elaborate on what I'm looking for in an answer.
The Question: What is love?

One of the advantages of working with fiction is that you have no obligation to speak nothing but the truth. In fact, when you decide to write "fact-based-fiction", you're using the real-life instances as a framework and catalyst rather than an ou...
Where did 2008 go? 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.
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

As a writer, what type of stories do you Write or Read?
I read, pretty much, anything except mystery. I write sci-fi, paranormal, and mainstream fiction. All with, at least, a hint of romance. After all, what's the purpose of life without romance.
These are two of the "Women of Nightrun" trailers for my upcoming Nightrun series. The elder Helen may actually be my favorite character in the series. She's bright and funny but can turn dark and dangerous in the blink of an eye. The other Helen, called "Two", while possesing many of the same traits as her name sake, tends to be angrier and more driven. Seperately, they are formidable. However, when they finally combine their talents... things heat up. Be well, William
This is a short story taken from the reality of the book series I am currently writing (the first draft of book one is completed). While the setting and circumstance place it in the science fiction genre, the purpose is to simply tell a story of two people and their connection.
Comments and criticism are welcome.
Be well,
