Sometimes we all get so caught up in writing and creating that we need a breather from one world in order to see what we’re working on a little more clearly. Or we just need reminders where to get social and find joy.
If you are a WWW member and still have not joined the Yahoo Listserv, please contact Alice Trego at alicetrego@me.com to get set up. It’s a wonderful private forum (much like Facebook, but a little more private and personal!) where everyone discusses their triumphs and trials, congratulate each other and crow over particularly joyful news. Be part of the discussion – don’t miss out on this perk of WWW membership!
In other news, f you’re a little overwhelmed by all the writing advice and craft information out there lately, take a break from thinking too hard about putting words on the page and want to dive into a more philosophical place, hop over to WWW member Robin Gainey’s blog, where she waxes eloquent about higher consciousness: https://robinfgainey.com/quantum-wonder/
As the holidays approach, don’t forget that many WWW members write holiday themed novels, novellas, poems and other pieces that reflect on the spirit of giving, love, and sharing holiday cheer. If you have a holiday book (no matter how long ago you published it!) post it in the comments below with a link so we all know where to find that perfect stocking stuffer for our friends and family!

On November 7th, Robin Gainey’s second novel, Light of the Northern Dancers, will be released with her publisher Untreed Reads.
