I have only been on this site for a few months, but it is BY and FAR the best writing site that I have yet to encounter. My writing is very important to me but it is hard to find peers who feel the same. Here, there is no lack of people who prize the written word and the doors that it opens. I have recieved the most honest support and thorough criticism here. I know this site was ranked in the top 100 [websites] and I even visited a few of the others. No other site offers the flexibility that this one does. The time that the owners put into this site is blatant and for it I am very grateful. To put this much time into something takes passion. Many thanks to the creators for creating and nurturing such a gem.
Besides the very obvious advantages of having a peer-critique forum to come to, to share writing and read others' work, let me relate another, probably underappreciated advantage. Two weeks ago, someone came in my bedroom window and stole my laptop computer, on which I have been doing all my writing for the last year (during which year I have been more prolific in my writing than at any other time in my life... sigh). Fortunately, most -- not all, but a lot -- of what I'd done since joining Writing.Com (in August 2005) and some before, I had posted in my port. Sooo... you know what that means, don't you? I lost a lot when that computer was stolen, including tons of personal information, but the most precious thing to me was my writing and thanks to Writing.Com, it is still in my port and I DIDN'T LOSE IT! Thanks so much for saving me from my too-infrequently-backing-up self.
I love how I can be with other people and get their really thoughts. I love how I can do and be some many things! Thanks, Writing.Com!
I have joined Writing.Com just three to four days back and I'm so addicted to it now that even in my dreams I browse through it. Just three days in and I received a two months upgraded mebership as a gift. Now I am just thinking how to use it to the fullest. It's one of the best websites ever created. Thank you, Writing.Com! You have helped me find my self!!!
I Love You, Writing.Com! I've stayed up til all hours of the night looking for a home that I could be comfortable with. Someplace, I could put the many thoughts and dreams that come into my head. I wrote in my search box, "looking for someplace to put writing," Up came Writing.Com. I came over to visit and decided to stay, now I have the perfect Condo. I love you, Writing.Com, you've given me another home... thanks.
I've been at Writing.Com for so long now, I don't even remember how I found it. All I know is that I keep coming back. I have met some great people, gotten excellent feedback & encouragement on my writing and read some great writing. It's a perfect place for aspiring writers to spend time and work on their craft. I love it here!
I love this site!!! I mentioned to someone that I have always wanted a writing career and over the years I have lived a life other than a writer. I checked out this site and I couldn't believe what I saw. It was so amazing to me, like having a dream fulfilled and you can't move because you're afraid it'll disappear. I froze and just looked at the monitor. I love it, love it, love it. I just ask myself, where do I begin? As if I have only one choice. How do I choose? I wrote one blog and I got back 2 reviews and they were both great. It made my day. I felt validated like I actually connected with my true talent in life and I like it. Writing gives me such joy. I get lost in it. I am thankful for this site. It's changing my life. When I am on the site, the rest of my day is fine, as long as I can write. Thank you, for all of it. Writing.com is the best thing out there for the casual and career minded writer. I look forward to opening this site and reading and writing in a world and community I love. I feel so at home here on this site. I wish I could just write all day and make big bucks doing it. It makes my day and puts me a better mood. Thank you to the creators of this site. Thanks so much. There aren't enough thanks I can give to tell you how much I appreciate this writing opportunity. Thanks.
I have been here only for a few days and I have already received many insightful comments on my stories. Each kind and thoughtful review makes them higher in quality. My skills as a writer are improving each day that I am on here. The members here are great. It feels good to have people who are objective and that are interested in your work. I hope more people join here so that they can experience the same things that I have felt so far.
Hello fellow writers, I must say that this site is perfect for my writing needs. I love to write, and also love to read. I hope some of you read some of my recipes, and also pray they incite you and help you with your cooking. I love this site, thanks to all of you responsible for creating such a wonderful site. I love all of you.
I discovered Writing.Com back in the days when it was still known as Stories.Com! I have always lived a nomadic life, and stories I'd written in the past would be lost and forgotten when I moved. With Writing.Com, I always have the peace of mind of knowing that no matter what, my stories will always be safe on the internet, and not lost in a box tucked away in someone's garage or storage unit, never to be found again!
Back after a hiatus of 6 months, due to health problems, I found that most of my friends here on the website were glad that I found my way home. Writing.Com is home. My home, shared with my online friends. I hope to stay around for a very long time!
I've been registered for more than a year now. I used to just read and left my musings on paper. Recently I began reviewing the things I read and have been getting positive feedback. It ispired me to submit some of my works and I have been given honest and positive responses back. I would never have shared my work online, but this is a very open and honest community. I am so glad that I found this exceptional site. I've even been inspired to write MORE because of all the wonderful writers and positive readers here.
I'm a teen writer who loves fantasy, and I don't have a lot fo friends that do, so this site was a blessing from God. I was so excited to get involved and now I'm on here every couple hours to see what's going on. It's addicting but so great. I have gotten so many reviews for my Novel in progress, it wouldn't be a quarter what it is now without this site. Thank You so much!
I joined Writing.Com on the recommendation of a friend a little over a month ago, and I can quite honestly say that it's one of the best things I've ever done! I wrote prolifically between the ages of about 7 and 16, but my muse had deserted me and I had all but given up on my dream of being an author. Since joining the site, it's as if I never stopped writing. I write a short story almost every week now, which is a huge improvement for me; and am writing more and more all the time. The feedback from other writers and the opportunity to read and learn from their work has been invaluable. I have received emails from some lovely people who I hope will turn out to be good friends, and I have even won the first 2 competitions I entered! Writing.Com is inspirational, easy to use, and a goldmine of great stories.
I can't possibly begin to explain how amazing I think that Writing.Com is. It gives me a chance to express myself, and the people on here are so awesome. I've met so many people who are so supportive and caring of your work, and so willing to help you write to the best of your ability. This has to be the absolute best thing that has ever happened to the internet, ever. And for whoever started this site, a billion kudo's to ya.
I love this site! I have let everyone I know about this site! I have sent links and continue to talk about it and the stories that I have read and things I have been able to do here! I have a long way to go to be a "Great Author" and I feel like this is a wonderful place for me to be able to practice the skills that it will take to get there. I have been made to feel at home here, everyone has been so caring and accepting. It has become my favorite place on the web!
Writing.Com continues to be the most constructive, honest community I've found anywhere. When I "came out" as a writer (it was a big deal, because I had invested in being a manager/consultant in software), and Writing.Com was there to allay my fears. I hid behind a user name that was difficult to pronounce and type, and the first review I received scared me away for about 14 months. I came back, with my Chinese (and Pen) name, after confirming for myself through extensive internet searches that there isn't a better place for a writer to develop. No matter what level I'm functioning at as a writer, Writing.Com members have consistently supported my continued development. I cannot say so much for my experiences in other learning environments. Developing writers is developing people. When a person learns to make themselves heard through others' eyes, they develop a level of self-expression that impacts every area of their lives. It's a delicate task that requires skill, patience, kindness, and an absolute conscience that hold standards stable and high. Writing.Com provides the environment and the community for all kinds of writers to develop their thoughts, skills, and selves. A recent internet search convinces me that there is still no where else to be and to grow. Peace and power to you, always, 貞幬 (Zhen Dao) Credits Writing.Com
Thank you so much. A few years ago I found my passion for writing. Now at the age of 55, I started to pursue a writing career. As of yesterday I can say, I’m a newspaper columnist. It’s a small weekly newspaper, but I’m thrilled just the same. If it weren’t for the members of Writing.Com, I wouldn’t have had the courage to even go on the interview. The positive comments I received regarding my submissions gave me the encouragement I needed to forge ahead. I also received helpful constructive criticism, mostly about punctuation. I’m sure reading this, you know I’m still working on that issue. I’ve taken a few writing classes and belong to a local writers group. The generosity of writers is amazing. It doesn’t matter if a person has been doing this a life time or a newbie. Whether a person is published or not. There’s a camaraderie among writers and I’m honored to be included. Thank you again for all your support.
I have seen the light and it is shining from yon window of Writing.Com. I joined with glee in my heart and a smile on my face while standing on my own two feet on the ground. I am looking forward to coming here more often and enjoying alot of new friends and maybe learning how to work on my book.
Writing.Com has been an definite inspiration in my life. To be lucky enough to stumble upon such a unique and easy to use website was a miracle. One that has spurred me to bigger and better stories than ever before. A place where it feels like I've met so many terrific people and hopefully made some lasting friendships.
My sister was the one who introduced me to this site, and bless her heart for doing so! Now I can never go online without logging in to Writing.Com. I love it not only because it lets me express and share my writing, but also because of its talented and honest members. Writing.Com is a community of so many encouraging people, and I am proud to be a part of it. Truly, this site is a wonderful place to just be.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages, and anyone still reading, but not included, I can safely say that Writing.Com has improved my life. Poetry is the string that keeps me on this earth and not flying into the cosmos, or into a pit of destruction. Writing.Com has given me a home to receive and send critique and praise and smile brights even terrible days. Thank you to the StoryMistress for the bright yellow briefcase and thank you all for making the past 6 months of my membership beautiful!
I was very unsure when I approached this site as to what would happen to my work. All I can say is that it is full of wonderful people prepared to give time, hope, and encouragement to new and established writers. Thank you one and all for all your help and encouragement to everyone. It is a great pity that there is not more people like you around.
Luck must have been with me the night I stumbled across Writing.Com. There is no other site that I know of like this one. I have found a caring, supportive community here. Not only does the site encourage me to write, but it also offers me tips on how to improve my writing, opportunities to enter my work in contests, the joy of reading others' work, and best of all, the friendship of the many great members here. Thank you Writing.Com for helping make my dreams of becoming a writer a reality.
Since my 8th grade English teacher managed to convince me that the pen was not, in fact, my enemy, I have been writing, and I taught myself to read around the age of 4. Every writer's dream is a safe-haven; a place where you can go and receive constructive criticism, not scorn and abuse. Of all the sites out there, Writing.Com, and no other site, has been my virtual home for five years. It's safe, it's interesting, it's ever-changing, and it's vast. But out of all the wonderful things I could say about Writing.Com, I feel that I must emphasize the best thing that ever happened to it: the members. I've made more friends than I count, even if I use my toes. From casual acquaintances to true-blue best friends, they are all on this site, and they are all willing to help you with anything you might need. From the year I joined as a broke teenager with a free account, I DREAMED of being able to afford a full membership. It wasn't until years later that I realized how cheap and accessible a paid membership actually is. I may not be the smartest guy on the block, but I do know that I am never leaving Writing.Com.
