About This Newsletter

I am one of those people who would say I love to write but, I'm not really a writer. WDC taught me to stop saying that. I write. So I am a writer. I am a dyslexic writer who found a place where it is rare for people to make me feel horrible because my spelling and punctuation might not be perfect. Instead, they offer helpful tips so that I can fix the areas I have issues with and do it with a gentle smile and a kind heart. You have to love people like that. I know I do. The fact they overlooked it to make me a mod and let me do this newsletter... Well that's a priceless Master Card just can't understand.

Letter from the editor

To those who are so new you may not have had time to figure it out yet or those who have been here a while and are still trying to get your feet under you, you may be wondering how in the world does one really fit in in such a huge place. Reviews is always my answer. Doing reviews is the soul of WDC, but we aren't going to talk about that today. Today we are going to talk about it's heart. The very heart of WDC is of course our brilliant The StoryMaster Author Icon and The StoryMistress Author Icon who are like the very young and very unique urban hippy parents (yes that is suppose to be a complement) to a multitude of writer children but surrounding the inner heart is the outer one, our groups.

If you have yet to join one you really need to look into them and consider it. We have so many different ones from writing groups, to poetry groups, to reviewing groups. Leading the charge:

Reviewing Groups

- I am not familiar with this group either but any group willing to help with upgrades is a group I feel I should promote.

As you can see, the heart of WDC is alive and well and full of abundance that you can join in on. We hope to see you join one or twenty, which ever works for you. I think I'm currently at 24. I would have never made it here without the WDC Groups. Hurry and join before you miss out on something.
