About This Newsletter

Happy July everyone! This month we will be celebrating our Independence *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework* *Firework*

Welcome to this issue of the Newbies Newsletter.


I thought I would give more information on things to check out that you may enjoy and maybe help you get involved with places and also places that are just for newbies.

This newsletter is about and for you. And for seasoned members, I hope you'll find something you can take from my ramblings.


This newsletter's goal is to showcase our Newbies here at WDC in a wide range of different kinds of items to enjoy and give the Newbies some tools and items to help them along the way, as well as other places for them to check out and maybe join in or just explore.

Letter from the editor

Hello! How are you? I'm so glad you're here. *Smile*

I would like to welcome all Newbies to our wonderful community of WDC and to this newsletter.

I hope that you will enjoy yourself and write your hearts out too. I have been here at WDC for many years now and it really is my second home. There are a lot more goodies here now than when I first came here, don't get me wrong there were a lot of good goodies when I came along too, I just mean that there are a lot more goodies now and every year in September there are more goodies added as we celebrate WDC turning another year this September! Isn't that wonderful? This is the best community around.

This newsletter is about and for you. And for seasoned members, I hope you'll find something you can take from my ramblings.


Be sure to check out The The StoryMaster Author IconMail Icon, The The StoryMistress Author IconMail Icon, and Writing.Com Support Author IconMail Icon to learn even more about this wonderful site and find even more goodies. Be sure to explore everything. I look forward to getting to know you as well. I will be by sometime to visit your port and have a look around and all that.

Here are some places to check out, have a look around and enjoy!
