You fail only if you stop writing.~Ray Bradbury
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin
Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space. ~Orson Scott Card
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. ~James Michener
Writing is my time machine, takes me to the precise time and place I belong. ~Jeb Dickerson
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster. ~Isaac Asimov
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Life is like a roller-coaster; if it weren't for the ups and downs you wouldn't get on the ride. ~Ambrose Sullivan

I am so excited! Wynwidyn Press in conjunction with WDC is putting out the 1st ever Writing.Com Anthology!!! No other writing site has one. We will be the first and the only, and, as we are (IMHO) the BEST writing site, this is the coolest thing ever! When I started Wynwidyn Press, I knew that there was one thing for sure that I really wanted to be able to do above and beyond all the normal things one does as a self-publishing company. I wanted to give back to writing.com as it has been and continues to be one of the most important facets of my life.
As I thought about what and how and maybes and possibles, I thought about Random Acts of Kindness and the wonderful way they enable so many writers here to be more involved, how by upgrading people's ports, they allow, encourage and facilitate writers to write more, to grow as authors, to simply be more. I came up with the idea of the anthology which would help and give a large number of WDC members one more opportunity to be not only published, but published in an anthology of their peers!
So, yes, submissions will cost gps which will go to RAOK. And, no, not every one who submits will get into the anthology. All entries will be judged by a panel of judges. We really hope to get submissions from all case colors. Teens, this book will be for our 18+ members; next Spring, we will do a Teen WDC Anthology!
If your piece is picked, do you have to buy a book? Nope! We hope you do, of course. Why? Because after the cost to print the books, the rest of the money is also going to RAOK!!!! I'm hoping that by the end of the year RAOK will be able to upgrade folks to their heart's content! And, as the books are only going to cost ~ $10.00, I'm thinking almost anyone will be able to afford one!
We will be looking for poetry, short stories, non-fiction and black and white photography. Find out the rest of the info at
This is an awesome opportunity for us at WDC to have what no other writing site has and to be a part of this first of its kind. Yes, I hope this raises tons of gps for RAOK. More, I hope this will be an exceptional reflection of what Writing.Com is all about and of the wide variety of authors we have within our community. So dig through your ports and pick out some of your favorite pieces or write something new: either way you'll be included in what I hope will be the best anthology ever!!!!

This because several folks said that I really should include this even if it is mine!
This because she's my new Rising Star and she just turned Yellow and deserves a pat on the back!
This because, well, just because raindrops are really important to me!
This because her words always make me smile and feel good, even on those days when nothing goes right.
Ah yes, and this because it answered a huge question!
Because it is wonderfully creative...
| | | I Hear Voices (18+)
This is a piece of comedic fiction, not nonfiction. Definitely not for everyone.
#1874104 by Nixie🦊  |
Because it is such a touching story!

Tadpole1  writes: Hi ya Fyn, I am so happy for you as you realize your dream!
Guess what, tears actually welled in my eyes when I read your article.
Awww thanks!
Leger~  says: Great newsletter Fyn! Your tale about the biker bar reminded me of a time I went to a biker's funeral. Three different gangs in the same room. I admit, my eyes must have been as big as saucers. And regarding the walking stick, those sticks must be chock full of karma, don't you think? Keep caring for your tree, I know you'll succeed!
Thanking you too! We've got a few authors thus far and two super awesome ones...Oh wait...of course they are awesome--they are from WDC!!!
Mara ♣ McBain  adds: Great NL! It was awesome meeting you and sharing those moments.  I loved the traveling stick story. The love as you described the craftsmanship and other man's joy in the same was beautiful.
NickiD89  comments: I loved every word of this lovely newsletter. It took me on a journey this morning as I read, a walking stick in and of itself. Think I'll carry it around with me all day
*smiles*
magicmayflower adds: Great Inspiration.
