TWO BIG PROBLEMS keep interested people from getting on the mailing list:

1. Each month, there are some people who do not type their e-mail addresses correctly.

2. Often, there are people who do not complete the process by replying to the auto e-mail that goes to new participants.

Hello, Rosow Newsletterites!

It is my hope that you are only getting one copy of this announcement.

If you receive more than one, please send up a flare. Let me know. I do want to make sure the glitches are out of the system before I send you more messages.

Now for the news. We have a brand new discussion page at:

http://members.authorsguild.net/rosow/disc.htm

Our first topic is: Writing Prompts.

Please send feedback.

To writers!
