WDC Newsletters
Many of us were taught to add two spaces after a period before proceeding to the next sentence. That rule was made back before computers took the place of typewriters. Each character on a typewriter took up the same amount of space. These monospaced letters, unlike most fonts we use today, were harder on the eyes, thus-- two spaces after a period gave the eyes a break.
A simple tip, but to many, a question answered. And by reading this newsletter and others, you will be sure to pick up many more writing tips, advice, and instruction on how to navigate around the site. Be sure to send us feedback, too, which you will find at the bottom of every newsletter. 
In the Poetry Newsletter, perhaps you'll learn a new form of poetry or discover a poet you never heard of. In the Contest & Activity Newsletter, maybe you will challenge yourself to win a ribbon or gift points. The For Authors Newsletter will offer lots writing advice for those of you who are considering publication or want to improve writing skills. The information and inspiration in all our newsletters are available and free.

And Now For Our Featured Newbies!
Excerpt:
I dream in a world of broken things,
Where Angels fly with tattered wings.
Excerpt:
Even in loneliness I am whole.
A monolith. Still, others find some way
of visiting, somehow come inside, to feed
themselves from my belly,
or rest inside my head.
Excerpt:
Pale dawn crept above the horizon like a secret unveiling
Casting faint light and violet shadows on snowy mountains
And rising over a grassy mound, a rider came running
From the dimming shadows, the horse came galloping
Excerpt: I always had a love for ghosts, ever since I was a kid. The ghost stories I hear around the campfire with my fellow scouts are what got me into ghosts. In fact, sometimes I want to be a ghost.
Excerpt:
Not a giggle, not a smile
ever escaped her pink lips.
Her tears were wiped by none
but her own tiny fingertips.
