Editor & Publisher: writersontherise@earthlink.net ************************************************************************ Subscribe/Unsubscribe at the bottom of this (brief) letter ************************************************************************ Letter From The Editor Dear Fellow Writers, It is with great pleasure that I reveal the new design for Writers On The Rise. I hope you enjoy it and send me lots of feedback. I believe I've also finally fixed a long-standing window-size problem, so this issue should fit in any browser. In less than one year, this online newsletter has achieved the vision I held for it in June, 2005, when we went from an e-mail format to an online format. I can't tell you how thrilled I am! I want to thank all our contributors, who are as committed as I am to helping rising writers achieve and celebrate our writing goals. I feel a bit like the groundhod today, popping out of my hole to say "Hello," seeing my shadow, and then, "Oops, bye-bye, gotta go!" But, hey, I'm writing my first book and it's fairly all-consuming. I read fellow writer and new contributor, Gregory Kompe's newsletter today. He's been working really hard for a long time on his first book, and he sent his newsletter out while taking a long-deserved vacation, "It's time for a break and a little reward, so when this week's issue of The Fabulist Flash arrives in your inbox, my partner and I will be poolside in Mexico…" I admit it. I was jealous. But I have miles to go before I reach the end of this writing journey and in the meantime I take pleasure in the process, as well as small indulgences to keep me going. I'm talking about the bar of Moonstruck chocolate in the left-hand drawer of my desk. A good morning sweat at the gym. A snuggle with my family. A funny t-shirt that says, "I can only please one person a day. Today isn't your day. Tomorrow's not looking good either." An encouraging e-mail from a fellow writer. Taking a moment to watch the Canadian Geese commute against a gray sky. An epsiode of "Desperate Housewives, Season One" on DVD. The Spring catalog from my editor at Writer's Digest Books where Writer Mama will appear in just one year!!! And then I'm refreshed and ready to get back to work. And while I realize that this may not be everyone's idea of the perfect life, this is the life I've always wanted. It's the writing life. It's rigorous and sometimes daunting, but writing for publication has always been that way. And I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. And on that note, I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter! Wendy Burt is still strutting her expertise, Kelly James-Enger is helping us stay fit, Susan Clark reminds us to remember the big picture, and brings out the story on the second edition of The Renegade Writer with coauthors Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell. Cathy Belben, television writer for Veronica Mars, is back with us. She'll be sharing "Good Reads for Writers." Gregory Kompes has joined us to illuminate "Turn Your Writing Hobby Into a Writing Career." Kristin Bair is back already—only now she's sharing "Lively Writing Tips" and has a new byline: Kristin Bair O'Keefe! And Kelly Huffman has a new assignment: To keep us all abreast of upcoming learning-by-immersion opportunities in "The Conference Confab." Our guest contributors this month are: Rising writer Jennifer Keene, who I met at last year's Willamette Writers Conference. Jen sets a terrific example of how perseverance pays off with an agent for her proposed book, Dog-Friendly Divorce. Lee Silber, author and right-brain expert, who gives us a sneak peak into his favorite place to write. Sage Cohen, who shares a photographic tour of Soapstone, a writing retreat for women near the Oregon Coast.
