Panic Stations!
She opened her email, scanning the message headings.Reading quickly through the smaller ones, she dealt to them quickly. Sending a thank you here and tapping the delete key there.
She opened one from the The StoryMistress  . "Oh, cool! I've been given the Action/Adventure newsletter to do." Big smiles followed this news, but she set the advice aside and continued through the emails in her inbox. A few more thank you's and deletions made, she arrives at another email regarding the new newsletter job.
Her heart stopped for the space of a shallow breath as she read the news that her edition of the Action/Adventure Newsletter was already overdue. Her hands shook as adrenalin buzzed through her body, and her mind went in a dozen different directions..."What will I write about?" "How quickly can I do it?" "How am I going to read enough items to select things for Editor's Picks?"
Within seconds a new Book item materialised in her port and the groundwork was set. "That was easy," she says sitting back to allow thoughts to settle into some comprehensible pattern. Then she lifted her fingers over the black keys and started to type.
This edition of the Action/Adventure Newsletter comes to you in something of a rush. But it does represent my own little piece of action and adventure, straight from real life to the pages of (hopefully) entertainment.
Our lives are fraught with adventures, some we want to have, some we do not. Our lives are full of action also, whether it be the constant demands of running around after a toddler or a trip to the grocery store or college campus. Every one of these things provides some valuable keys to include in our writing. Now you perhaps might not write about the actual event, as I did above, though this could work if there was a lesson, point, story involved with it. Everything we go through can be turned into a useful plot twist, emotive clue, character defining moment and more.
How often do we examine our daily moments of action and/or adventure to enrich our writing?
Do you think about your body and mind's reactions to an event?
Do you watch the way your family reacts?
Do you make notes about unusual events and the repercussions?
All these can aid in our descriptive passages and deepen the communication of emotion, suspense and drama. Draw from your own experiences to make scenes more believable, and better--more identifiable for your readers. If you react in one way, there's a good chance that at least half the population can empathise with it too.
Happy writing!

Feedback from my Guest Editorial of 28th September, 2005.
I find interactives one of the hardest things to do here on site, mostly because I don't want to write anything that would disappoint the originator of the story. Maybe I will take a look again. Thanks for an excellent newsletter.

I understand that. Perhaps look at it this way. If an author did not want people to add to their story, or were too afraid of getting 'bad additions', they would not create an interactive. Interactives are not to everyone's taste though. I find them excellent when I don't want to concentrate on a full story, but am inspired to create a short scene that fits into an existing story. Good writing practice! 
Thank you for doing a piece on interactives. I love the concept, but I get tired of the typos and grammar errors. I find it hard to get into a poorly written interactive, especially if the introduction is also poor.
Thanks!

I agree, it is much more difficult to read a poorly edited addition. It is one og my bugbears with interactives. Simple enough for each adder to fix by spell checking before adding. Also bear in mind, however, that many people who add to interactives are young or learning as they go. It does make a good practice ground and an excellent way to become involved in the community.
untill your newsletter I never had an disire to read an interctive. I'm going to read one right now!

I hope that you found them a nice change from your normal reads.
