I have to say "Thank you" to everyone for the wonderful feedback, advice, and help that has been so willingly given. It means so much to me. Every writer I know will know about this site. Thanks again... you have all been so great.
I've been a member of Writing.Com for only three days now, and already I've read some of the most amazing works I've ever seen! The reviews on my own work I've gotten from people are great as well. Everyone is so willing to give other people advice and help them out it's really great to know that you can be a part of that!
I have been a member of this wonderful site for five days. I have written more and had more fun than I ever had on any other writing site. I have gotten such excellent suggestions for improving my pieces that I have rewritten at least four pieces and am much pleased with them. To those of you who offer really good suggestions and complements, thank you. Please continue. I participated at several other sites, but this is my new HOME!
Ahhhh, the liberty of the written word. Free to roam wherever my imagination takes me. Free to soar and wheel and challenge myself beyond any limitations and expectations of the dreary and mundane. License to soar above the grinding mediocrity, lack of vision and cowardice with which most people live their lives. Oh no, not I. This will be my place to unshackle and fly. I give you warning Jonathon Livingstone Seagull. I too shall soar high above the rabble.
If you knew how often and how long I was on Writing.Com each day, I'm sure I'd be writing this from a padded room! Writing.Com is so addictive! It's the most amazing writers' site ever created. I have met great people, recieved helpful reviews, and improved my writing more than I thought possible--all because of this site! Thanks StoryMaster and StoryMistress, you're the best! =)Though I've only been a member of Writing.Com for less than a month, I can honestly say that it is the absolute best site in the world--for budding writers and veterans alike. Before I found this site, I only showed my writing to my sister, who I'm sure I have mentally scarred for all of eternity! Now I'm getting constructive feedback, and peoples' honest opinions on my work. I recommend this site to anyone who likes to take out a pen and dream!
I came across Writing.Com looking for a website to read a couple of stories and put up my own. I used to be scared to share my writing, thinking that everyone would hate it. Now, I realize that there are different people who like different things. Now, I am no longer shy because of the feedback I get from the other members. I can easily post my things up without thinking that people will hate it. Writing.Com has given me the will to write more than I could have without it. I used to go in my room, lock it, and write. Then, I would stow it somewhere my mother would never look because honestly, I thought no one ever wanted to read it. This site has covered all the things I would want in a site. It's even got a copyright going on too. You get memberships for free when you first arrive and you get no charging fees unless you buy a membership. Personally, I think this site is the best around! Thank you, Writing.Com!
Finding WRITING.COM is probably the best thing to happen to my writng since I fell in love with my "muse". This site provides access to the work of other writers, and the reviews that I recieve on my own work are priceless!
I was originally surfing the net for stories when I stumbled on this site. It was still called Stories.Com then, and I was intrigued by what they were offering. I love to write so I took up the free membership, not being able to buy one since I was just a junior high school student then. Admittedly, I became a stagnant member for a while because of all the things and activities at school, but then when vacation began I started logging on to the site whenever I can. It's totally addicting! I had just graduated from high school, and the best surprise came into my mail one day. I received an anonymous upgrade, and since then I've been writing extra hard. I'm still very thankful the person/group who gave me the chance to expand my writing more! This site offers everything a budding writer or an entusiast reader needs. This is the only place where I can sit back, write and receive honest feedback. I have doubts about my skills at writing from time to time, but this site helped gave me the confidence I needed. I am very thankful at every person here at Writing.Com. You guys have been very supportive and honest. Not only this site, but also the people in here rocks!
I've been surfing the net for a few years now, but didn't find out about you until about a month ago. What a great find. It gives me the opportunity to write as I want to, and have people review my work as they want to. I consider Writing.Com as the best of the net. If you want to write, then this is the only place to go to.
It seems like fate. I actually came across Writing.Com from my high school's website. When I clicked on the link, I was blown away by this incredible site, and signed up right there on the spot. I have always had a passion for writing, and am often shy when showing others my work because many of it involves my personal feelings. This site has helped so much for me to gain more confidence and pride in myself. The authors here are so talented, it's unbelievable. They are supportive and encouraging, and I have had some really wonderful advice that has helped me to improve my writing ability. Thanks so much!
I've been surfing the net for more than two years now, and I've had had many addictions to date: network communities, online games, and setting up my own blog. But ever since I signed up on this writing community, everything has changed. Everyday, I check my Writing.Com account to the point of waiting for replies or feedbacks for my works! This is really amazing because, not only do I get to share my works to interested readers, but also I get to improve my writing by looking at others' works as well! The forums help a lot in my social development as I meet new people in other places. And of course, the contests, which have taught me how to fight; even if there is no triumph in the end, what's more important is the lesson learned in each trial, in each challenge. These are the reasons why Writing.Com is #1 for me!!!
Writing has always been a passion that I kept largely to myself until now. The good man Wordstalker let me know about this site, and though a little intimidated initially, I quickly found my way around. I have made some wonderful friends here and have learned to write a little better every day through the honest critiques and encouragement of other writers. Not only have I developed more creatively, but I have read the work of writers here that I have confidence the whole world will know one day.
I would recommend Writing.Com to anyone who is serious about their love for words.
This, morning I was stimulated by the very same deliberation that has disturbed my psyche for as long as I can remember. “Will today be the day, when I write a piece of significance?” I do not foretell that I will ever be a good writer. I am fully aware of my given situation. I’m just an average housewife with a passion for the written word. I would consider myself to be a layman, when it comes to being an accomplished and thought provoking author. However, this does not discourage me, to write down all the little thoughts that accumulate in my mind daily. My point is: I have always had an unyielding passion to write. But that was merely all it ever was; and probably would cease to be... a passion, a dream, a thought that was inert, immobile, never ordained to be brought to fruition. This was my pens fate. Until, I was introduced to Writing.Com - I recently wrote a poem which I posted in my portfolio, with the excerpt: “My thoughts and feelings are personal, Intrusions will not be allowed.” This was my original perception of my mind. But this glorious site has changed that stark personal opinion. And within the two short months that I have been a member of this site, I have somehow managed to create numerous pieces of writing. I have produced an array of items. Some are satisfactory whilst others I would profess to being more than inadequate for anybody’s standards. But with that said, I feel the most important lesson I am learning with the help of Writing.Com; and it’s wealth of talented authors. Is, that I have finally learnt to set my mind free. For the first time in years I am inspired. I want my writing to become so much more than just an isolated dream. Thank you Writing.Com for rekindling a flame that was in danger, of being extinguished.
"You do that writing stuff, why don't you go check out Writing.Com". - That one fateful sentence, spoken by a friend caused me to become involved in a whole new world. I have written stories all my life but I always told myself that they were just for me, or for the enjoyment of a few close friends and family. The truth is I never thought anyone outside my own small circle would care for what I do. Writing.Com showed me how wrong I was. Writing.Com has proven that there are people out there who don't know me from Adam, but who love reading my stories... that is heady stuff for a country boy. Now I even believe I might one day actually see my stories in print. I could have done none of this without the good people I have met here at Writing.Com. The patience and support of all the talented writers here has helped me hone my stories and my skill more than I ever dared hope for. Thank you all so very much for everything...oh and btw: WRITE ON!!
I started writing something longer than a paper from Eng101 or 102, sometime in august. I was so proud when I hit the one hundred page mark. I made copies for family members and friends. I was a little hurt when no one read it. Until I joined Writing.Com, this where you meet friends that are not afraid to tell you that you need some work, Thank You! This place is cool!! I joined Writing.Com on February 14, 2005. Since then I have learned so much about the actual skill’s necessary in the art of writing fiction. I’m a fiction writer, this is what I love, I alone determine whether my character is male or female, blonde or black hair, blue or hazel eyes. Whether he or she is in Romania or England, whether my character is a Vampire Slayer or a Werewolf. This is why I write. This is where I write.
This place should have a caution sign on it. I stumbled across it and BAM!!! I don't know what hit me. I'm hooked. I've only been a member for maybe four days now and I've spent countless hours reading, reviewing, and writing. All I have to say is what originally had been a passing flirtation with my writings has become a fullfledged obsession.
I'm amazed by the vast expanse of this website. The enormity and atmosphere are such that you can simply wander from item to item, completely losing track of time and obligation. If you're really looking to broaden your horizons and increase your writing ability, this is one of the most fit places to do it!
I've been a member of Writing.Com for more than a year. Shame on me for not singing its praises in a testimonial sooner. It has been an excellent tool for improving my writing. Before joining I never considered the possibility of publishing my stories. Now, I've submitted my poetry and stories to a number of magazines. The support system and feedback I get here make me feel bold to try as many times as it takes.
When I joined in 2003, I didn't fully explore the many options of this site. I used to read a few stories, but that was about it. I've been writing all my life, but I've only recently been improving because of all the great feedback I get from the members on this site. I never showed anyone my writing, so I was a bit nervous about displaying it. Well, I got over that! I have almost filled my portfolio with poems, contests forums, and more! This site is encouraging and addicting! :)
I wrote "After the End" over nine years ago, in it's entirety. Then it was lost by a bungling husband and some minors who will remain anonymous. Then I stumbled across Writing.Com, and the urge to rewrite 400+ pages was justified! I took up the free membership and began to write again, my original story a little more refined this time. I posted it and recieved much needed advice in the kindest ways! Then wonderful things began to happen: I was anonymously upgraded and then made a preferred author! I couldn't ask for a more understanding and caring group of fellow writers! THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!
This is my second home, I can't believe how easily addicting Writing.Com can be. I have been a member for about a month and there isn't any other site I'd rather visit than this one. I have found that the members are as honest and gifted as they come and I am proud to a part of this place.
I don't know what I would do without writing.com. This site is just like a warm welcoming Lazy Boy next to a light with serenity to write whatever crosses my mind. I would never have gotten this far with my writing without the support from the members of writing.com. The quote I wrote to explain a membership here is this: It takes a pen and paper to make a writer but it takes writing.com to produce a published author!
I never look at my portfolio to see when I joined Writing.Com because it seems like it has always been a part of my life. It has healed me by writing my feelings and to read what others have written makes me know that I am not alone in this world. We all have our demons we fight but with this website Writing.Com it seems like we are able to handle life just a little bit better day by day. Happy Anniversary to me! My anniversary is coming up. On March 8, 2005 I joined this circle of friends. My self-esteem just shines through because in my writings my soul is healed. This site makes me feel like the old school song, "To Sir, with Love." A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return? Thanks for today and tomorrow, too!
Writing.com! I never knew who you were. I lived 39 years of my life without you. How? There is so much here to develop a writer's skills. With so many friends to make and so much to keep those moments between inspirations full. I am here everyday. I will be for a long long time. Writing.Com - you are part of what I am now. Please don't ever leave me. Thank you, and keep on writing!
I'm a firm believer in uploading random sites by typing random phrases - and one day it paid off. I was on this site for one, maybe two weeks before I decided to go for an upgrade. With a cup of tea and your favorite Danish pastry, this is a writer's haven - what more could you possibly need?
I've been here a few months, and I love it. I have written more in these months than I have in a long time!! This place has been such an outlet for me. I love giving and receiving reviews! There is so much to do here. Thanks for the awesome site!!!
