My first attempt is after Solstice (Christmas for some), with Defenders of the Wildlife. They've already told me that they need me, but I need go through the channels. I want to write, educate, and endorse activism for all wildlife, particularly the endangered, however, I'm most dedicated to wolves of all types, red, gray, etc. I have been since I was a small child; I've always hated the story "Little Red Riding Hood."
I'm very good at nonfiction/journalism types of writing. In all truth, that's probably my strongest writing ability outside of poetry. I think I need to develope more patience for fiction.
Rod, do you mind, just so I can get it off of my chest, if I PM you, one artiste:p (all sarcasm directed at me) to another, my fiction concept. That way, if it's shit, I can toss it. If it's not, I'll write notes when they come, dialouge as it comes, but dedicate myself to my cause for the most part. (Let the book(s) sort of brew;) )

I love wolves too. While studying at university (Environmental Science) a topic I wrote about concerned the naturalisation and re-establishment of wildlife into areas where they now have become extinct, namely Britain; it covered quite a large and diverse number of animal species, one of which was the Grey Wolf, as part of the topic I had to give the reason why the animal became extinct, not surprisingly Man was the cause. In parts of britain it was considered a "sport" to kill wolves and there where special days where wolves were slaughtered. Even now in parts of Europe, the wolf is not protected enough, so that killings are common place.
Anyway all I was going to say was I wish you well in trying to help these magnificent animals.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, sorry.
