I just wanted to thank Writing.Com and all the people who have supported this site, creating a home for people like me- a creative place which has been so ingeniously put together, not only creating a community for writers, poets and everyone who enjoys to read and write, but to ignite our minds and fill us with magic and inspiration, adding such wonderful (and thoughtful) ideas to our overall enjoyment of writing. I love the emails, they inspire me to explore new genres of writing- as well as the rewards that come with becoming a bona fide member, as the incentives to write and gain recognition are just part of the genuine gift writing.com has given to me. Not only can I build a portfolio, but I can learn from my writing through others, and play with the words, building a place of my own, where I can share, and explore opportunities suggested through the emails, and gain benefits that are priceless. Thank you for giving me a place of comfort, a library to travel, and an opportunity to learn and wander about. Writing.Com is a priceless award for the efforts I have once kept hidden in a shoebox, and now share with thousands around the world.
Standing Ovation!!
I've been here three months and I guess it's about time I made it known how much I love this site. It's a truly amazing place, the sort of website you would never think could exist amongst all the garbage cons that exist on the internet, clogging it up. A place like this is a real gem, where for a small amount of money, or even for free, you can submit your work and get genuine feedback from the public. I've had over thirty comments for my work already! Thank you so much, Writing.Com. You have renewed my faith in the internet, and intoduced me to hundreds of other writers. You guys rock!
When I first discovered Writing.Com, I was in a bad place. I was deeply deppressed, and had almost ended my life many times over. Than I stumbled across this site one day, and I decided I would make an account, see what people think of my works. As of now, I really only have one story, but I have many ideas on more, and showing other people my thoughts really helps my deppression. In a way, I almost owe my life to Writing.Com.
I love Writing.Com. Even though, technically I am a newbie, the support here that I have witnessed is wonderful. I may have only been given two reviews so far, but I am sure there are more on the way and with that will come supportive encouragement. I plan on staying around for awhile if everyone stays as kind as they are now.
Simply the best. You may think a writer would write more, but there is no need to. This site is the best. Simple.
One fine day, I was searching the web for some information on haunted areas. Somewhere in that search, an entry from this site was recovered. I opened it, read it, and thought it was good. I checked up on what this site was about and fell in love. LONG LIVE WRITING.COM!!
I actually first discovered this site under its former alias, Stories.Com, about 2 years ago. I'm not sure whether I made a portfolio, but I'm sure I didn't nurture it as well as I'd liked. And now, at 16, I've come to fully appreciate the art of writing, and using more of the many features that this site has to offer! My aspirations are not to properly become an author, and others here are helping me reach this goal through friendly and constructive criticism. The community here is great, they're honest with you, and will give up time to give you that push in the right direction! Thanks for all the services you've provided me!
I've only been posting here for one month. The advice is great because it comes not just from great writers, but also from the casual reader, the kind of reader that makes up most of the reading public. Everyone is super helpful. I even was gifted by a complete stranger who loved my work enough to give me a year of basic membership for free! The contests are awesome and the ability to just randomly discover a piece and help make it better is even better! Thank you Writing.Com!
I am so happy I joined Writing.Com! I have shown people work I never thought I would show anyone, and I have gotten back so many wonderful responses. It is truly inspiring! I have met so many new and interesting people, and through helpful advice and practice I am becoming a more prolific writer and reviewer. This is also a great place for people who aren't ready to share their writing with the world just yet because you are able to read and review wonderful work by others for free.
My friend Mandi recommended this site to me when I was a Junior in high school. I wrote down a short story that I had written in my AP English class and logged out. Instantly I received reviews saying that we loved your story! I was shocked! So, I began adding more stories and poems. As the weeks went by I was asked to join campfires and many more reviews came in. Now I'm in my second year of college and all I have to say is, I LOVE this place!
Since I discovered Writing.Com in October 2003, I have become absolutely addicted to this site. In 2001, I began writing fanfiction for the 80's TV series, Hart to Hart, my all-time favorite show. Through doing that and from the positive feedback I began to recieve, I rediscovered a long put away passion for writing. I decided that I needed to do more than write fanfics. I began scouring the internet for sites that would help me develop my my innate aptitude for expressing myself through words. It's one thing to have a natural talent, but it's quite another to find the most effective avenues to help it grow and develop. Procrastination and a lack of confidence were my greatest adversaries before I found this place. Participating in the contests and challenges have sustained my lagging confidence. Meeting deadlines and being a part of the Daily Writing Challenge have helped with the procrastination issue. Having what I've written be reviewed, rated, and critiqued; and developing my ability to do the same with the work of others has helped me grow so much in just these few months that I've been here. I have linked my port to my fanfic site, and some of those readers have been coming here to see what's going on. I have also been speaking the praises of the entire site to my friends. Many happy hours have been spent here, and I anticipate many more to come.
Writing.Com has been an amazing place for me to visit, make friends and test-drive new material (both my own and the works of others) in the five months since I joined. The folks here are honest, fun and into writing, reading, editing, proofreading and all things related to literature! Whether I have looked for poems, short stories or novels to read, or to have an excerpt from my soon-to-be-published novel read by others, Writing.Com has provided me with an avenue through which to be able to do these things, while making connections with a greater audience of literary enthusiasts. Cheers to everyone here who has helped to enrich my experience!
I found this site while searching for creative writing. I'm glad I found it. I've been here almost a year now. I met great people here and read some great stuff.
I've been on Writing.Com for very little time, yet I can't get off. So long have I been waiting to be able to let others see my work that when I found Writing.Com I was jumping up and down! Even the basic acount is loaded with features. My first story, Elfarrian's Song, shows up everywhere it should. The ads aren't amazingly annoying either. All in all, Writing.Com is a savior!!
I can remember the first time I came to this site. Actually, my friend had read a crazy, funny story and recommended it to me. When I got home, I went to Writing.Com and instantly loved it (both the stories and the website). I got hooked instantly and I visit it everyday!
I feel that no website could have such warm, friendly people and delightful reads as this one here. I mean, you can do so much here! You can not only read and post stories, but you can talk to people, receve newsletters, awards, everything! Even emotional support is provided for when you get a nasty review! I know alot of people say this, but Writing.Com is a great place to grow and learn as writers.
Before I discovered Writing.Com, I found it very difficult to grow as a writer. Since joining the community, I've written dozens of stories and poems, and I've steadily improved my skills with each one. I owe this productivity and success to hundreds of members of the site who have provided me with encouragement, inspiration, guidance, and, most of all, honesty. Regardless of your age, experience, writing style, or reading preferences, I promise you will find exactly what you are looking for on Writing.Com - and so much more.

Before I became a member of Writing.Com, I really did not know the best way to express myself. I've been a member of other online writing forums, but they did not begin to provide the level of "community" that I feel here! Writers really review other writers work; there is a support system to help "Newbie" writers like myself so they don't slip through the cracks and the GP's are an added bonus to put a smile on any members face! I really like it here and think that more people should come to know about Writing.Com!
I am so addicted to Writing.Com! Everyone is so wonderful here! I am encouraged to keep on writing and I hope to encourage others as well.
A heartfelt thank you, Writing.Com, for answering the age old literary question... "WHERE'S THE BEEF???" For those with a ferocity of literary appetite ~ you've come to the right place!
I have always been a closet writer, never putting my things out there in the public eye, only showing some of my work to a very select few friends and family until September of 2003. That is when I found Writing.Com. At first, I was skeptical, a 'free' membership was offered and I thought, "Yeah, right."
But over the next few days I kept coming back, until I finally filled out the required information and no, my credit card was not one of them! I entered the site and found myself wandering through pages and pages of Fantasy, Horror, Poetry, Essays, Fiction, Spiritually Uplifting, Wickedly Humorous, Short Stories, Novels, Contests, Games, Word Searches, Forums, Journals and so many other things that I can't name them all here.
I went through dragons and unicorns one day, vampires and vamps the next, with a few angels, devils and ordinary Joes thrown in as well. Anything you could possibly want to read you will find here on Writing.Com. Now, as a writer, there are endless forums, reviews, and feedback available at your fingertips. You can sponsor an item, or get sponsored yourself, make your writing private, or place it in the public eye.
Writing.Com has taken the closet from this author and has shown me the endless possibilities which I find around every corner. What a great website, you just have to see it for yourself, Very Sincerely, cattytaurus - aka Stephanie P.
Writing.Com is one of the most amazing sites I have discovered yet! I have always wanted to be able to share my work with others and to explore their creativity as well. Now I have just the place to do that and I already feel like I belong here.
I was just looking for a place to read excerpts from books when I found Writing.Com. I read and rated a lot of stories before I actually started writing on here. Now I write here all of the time and love it. I've found friends who will review my work honestly and give constructive criticism. I love it here and plan to keep posting my work here.
Before Writing.Com, I was a nothing. A nobody. A silly little girl with a sick mind that called herself an author. No one considered me anything more because of my age. (I'm 16.) Writing.Com changed all of that. It has given me a chance to prove to people that just because I am young, doesn't mean I can't write with fire. And this site makes me want to write. To become better in all I am. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. God bless.

This site is brilliant! I've had writer's block for ages, largely due to fear and procrastination. Writing.Com is definitely proving itself to be the ultimate cure. Fantastic!
Why, since I joined for my poetry, I wrote THIS in poetry: Writing.Com: My Addiction | To read, rate, and review /
Give/getting praise and censure too /
Such an occupation you'll find me at /
Whenever time is thick and fat /
When duties remain mute, and responsibilities dim /
Or sometimes at the slightest whim -- /
I'll log on quick, impatient at delays! /
To Writing.com, where my perseverence pays
Though it take ten minutes - fifteen - half an hour! /
It's worth it, just once more to feel the power /
Of creating a work -- poignant -- sublime! /
Be it prose or be it rhyme, /
Novel, novella, articles too -- /
There's just no limit to what I can do /
The whole writer's world is present - critics, friends! /
Contests galore, everything to rend /
A mind to distraction, completely addicted-- /
If it were a crime, I'd soon be convicted-- /
I'm convinced - certain - I can't do without /
This website for "riters", no, not a doubt /
For I can Read and I can wRITE, /
Sure, on my own, /
But without half the delight /
Of this incredible zone /
Of talent and fun, work yet all play /
I sure am stuck - but in what a delightful way!
