Our Newsletter is e-mailed to all subscribers monthly. Enter in your e-mail address to subscribe to our newsletter. It contains some of our member's work and important announcements. Our next issue comes out January 12th.

This is the first full month that Writer's Universe has been in operation. Here is a quick review of what we have done:

December 30th - January 5th:
We set up the basic website design. We also made Writer's Universe a membership organization where our users had to sign up to use our services.

January 6th - January 12th:
Finished the design, published to the web. Decided to make Writer's Universe a "form free" site where our users wouldn't have to become "members."

In the near future:
We hope to improve the design, especially the design of our "Interactive Story." We are hoping to get many more users, make our presence known. We also hope to recieve more visitor feedback.

In the distant future:
Get a domain name.

What members can do:
We just set up our "Interactive Story." An interactive story is where you are the character and you decide your own fate. You can read what we have started on the interactive story, and then you can submit an episode that will be added in. You can also submit work and enter our contests.

Here is a poem written by Matt:

Teenage Depression

Another day falls through the cracks
For what should tomorrow come
The need to do something, anything
Feelings of a friendship once known

Purpose is a word once used
The importance of completion escaping
Why try when they will only push down
Beyond all reason, where is a meaning
Searching for a reason

A lust for control and power
Anything with a purpose, everything without
A pause to take another breathe
It is never good enough... Useless, yes, of course
The darkness of it all, surrounding
What has happened here

Trouble heading down the road
Who can make sense of this confusion
From where is this path leading
An answer is of no help
The oppressor is beyond the door
