Letter from the editor



*Quill**Computer* WDC, a supportive writing community*Heart*


Many authors who enter this cyberspace find a home away from home, a second family, a place to meet like minds and make friends, a place of support for what they love best...writing and sharing! WDC has been around for a historic 22 years so it speaks to its nature in fulfilling a purpose! *Heart*

I have been here awhile and learned a lot by the seat of my pants, not knowing the questions to ask and don't think I even really caught on to these newsletters as there were so many things to see! LOL Lucky for me there were so many helpful people at that time who never minded answering my queries! I joined "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" Open in new Window. and received a great deal of help from its leaders and improved my reviewing too!*Heart* So groups can be ideal to join to get to know people.

Still today, I learn new things while touring around.

*Star* The Newsfeed sometimes provides tips and information:

Schnujo's NOT Doing NaNoWriMo Author Icon often provides Pro Tip notes like:
"Note: Pro Tip: Save Newsfeed Notes You Want to Fin..." which also contains some of her older posts!

*Star* Some Writers have created items to offer information, advice and help for both WDC helps and writing advice.

Ask & Answer



Thank you readers for your responses to my "Noticing Newbies Newsletter (July 6, 2022)" Open in new Window. on Picky Tips! *Smile*

🐕GeminiGem🎁 Author Icon
"Very good tips! When I see something written in the default font and packed into a long, dense paragraph I will often skip it. There has to be a really good reason for me to struggle through something like that.

Moral of the story: writers, don't forget that reading is a visual activity! If you don't make it visually appealing for your readers they won't stick around to see what you have to say."

BIG BAD WOLF is Merry Author Icon
"For reading, check own settings. I get the occasional comment from some folk that say that my font is too small, when it's just the normal font. More like the print is small on their screen, as if the Zoom is at 70% or whatever."
