Hi Rick! welcome to FW. It is an amazing site with awesome people. Congratulations on getting your book done. It sounds interesting and helpful. I went through a severe depression in 97 and had suicidal ideations from the meds. That was before they acknowledge that it could be a side effect. I think it's awesome that you want to help others. I know for the platinum members, FW will help with some of it. Check out these links
http://ebooks.faithwriters.com/authors-learn-more.php and
http://www.faithwriters.com/Marketplace/The most popular thing here is the weekly challenge. It has helped me become a better writer.Writing on topic has sparked my imagination and forced me to think outside of the box. The deadline is a good motivator to write on a regular basis while the word limit has helped me tighten up my sentences.
There are blogging contest each month too. Some of these activities are open to all members while others only to Gold or Platinum members. If you can afford the few dollars each month, it is so worth it.
The message boards have introduced me to people all over the world. I've become good friends with people I never would have met had it not been for FW.
Don't hesitate to jump into any conversations that interest you. Also if you have any questions, there is usually someone around who can answer them or point you in the right direction. I look forward to reading some of your poems. If you post them on FW leave a link here or in the open forum so people can find them easily.
