Letter from the editor

*Balloon1* Happy 2009! *Balloon1*


The new year is scarcely upon us, judging by the naked Christmas trees lining the streets. There's still time for a quick look back at the very best of 2008 before we jump into our writing goals for the new year.


*Note5* Consider nominating a few of your favorite WDC items for awards. January 15th deadline.

This is history! Perhaps we need a word search? Crossword puzzle? Short story contest? I know there's a fun activity or writing inspiration in there somewhere.


*Note5* Send me the link to your Chinese New Year and/or inauguration-inspired activity or contest, and I'll review and reward your hard work. *Wink*


*Note5* And be sure to post your stellar new item in the right forum for maximum exposure.
