I can't say how much I love this place. I've gotten great feedback from loads of members on my stories and poems, and the support for writers here is wonderful. I, unlike many others, did not come upon Writing.Com (then Stories.Com) by accident, but I am just as surprised by what I've found here as most probably have. I can't believe how wonderful the people here are, and I'm happy to say that I know, without a doubt, that I've become a better writer since I came here. Writing.Com has given me the confidence I need to write, as well as the pride to be able to call myself a writer.
Okay -- I'm another NEWBIE. I joined this website a little over two weeks ago and I know my life changed dramatically because of it. I discovered the website through a recommendation from another writing site in one of their updates. To be honest, I haven't been back to that site since then. At times I've been overwhelmed here. First, when I got up the nerve to create a portfolio and posted several poems. The ratings were wonderful but the reviews meant even more. Finally, I posted (what I consider my heart's desire as far as writing goes) a short story hoping to receive feedback. As a journalist, it's sometimes hard to remember I can write more than "just the facts." I've recommended this site to friends, both writers and non-writers. And I've told all my family about this wonderful place. I've visited other sites and never felt comfortable. But here, I feel as if I have come home. My only real problem is that my internet provider is S-L-O-W and I can become slightly discouraged. Thank you, oh great webmaster in the sky, for enriching my life.
It's been a few months since I joined this website. It's a blessing, I've always wanted to write stories that would be read by other people. I thank everyone working on this website; they're making this place the coolest site to be at on the net!
I found out about Writing.Com through another member, who happens to be my son. So I joined and I’m so happy that I did. It’s the best thing that's ever happened to me. It’s very stimulating and it keeps my mind alert and my heart youthful. I’m meeting wonderful people on this site and enjoying taking part in some of the forums and groups. I get tremendous pleasure putting my thoughts into text. I’m surprised at the amount of entries that I have already submitted. Even if nothing of mine ever gets published, I’m thrilled to see my work displayed and overjoyed when I see other members read and rate so many items in my portfolio. I can’t praise this site any more than I have already. It’s a great place for the young and the old alike. One way or another, we all have that something special to give to others. In doing so, we are satisfying our own dreams. If you’re looking for a site to write whatever is in your heart, this is the place.
Absolutely addicting. I laughed. I cried. I jumped up and down when I got my good review. I joined two days ago and I can't stop. My homework isn't getting done. I'm not sleeping any more. Once you start reviewing people, they start reviewing you back. I keep reading more great stories and getting more feedback. The rating system is great and the writers are friendly. There's so much to do you'll never get bored. I highly recommend anyone who loves writing to join.
Writing.Com is my mother, my father, my teacher, my student, my interest, my joy, everything. I spend hours on the site and the community is perfect. My portfolio is my voice to my soul, and Writing.Com has made it possible. My life apart from this site is harsh, and only lately that it is starting to look brighter. I'd like to thank the site for their great ideas, their forever-positive attitude, and for being there through everything.
I have been a member of Writing.Com for almost two years now since it was Stories.Com. I have enjoyed the stories of fellow writers as well as having them read mine. My fellow writers here have given me great feedback and tips to improve my stories. If you are a beginning author or have been at it awhile this is the place to come.
Like most of you here, I have a passion for good writing that defies description. I have been reading since I was five, and writing since I was about seven or eight. It's one thing that I love to do that I feel like I am supposed to be doing. I found this site by a stroke of luck and I absolutely love it here. The authors are bright and intelligent, and the review system is encouraging. I have received very good comments on my work here, plus some constructive criticism. I am grateful to have a place I can go to read new stories or post some of my own work. I feel like I am home here at Writing.Com. I highly recommend this site to you!
I've been here for a year now, experiencing the sights and sounds of this online community. I can't express how much this site has helped me, or in what ways it's helped. Writing.Com has been an emotional venting ground, a community of helpful people, and a place to just hang out. All the people I've met here have been great, from the friends I've gained to the casual observers who check out my stuff occasionally. Writing.Com is one of a kind, and I'm glad I found it, completely by accident, that day in February 2002...
Being a 14 year old, there is room for improvement in my writing. Writing.Com is where I find it. If I write a story on here, I get motivated because I know someone will honestly tell me what they think, no matter what, because I don't know them. Writing.Com lets me explore many different types of writing, read other people's writing, and write my own. I would suggest this site for any reader or writer. This site is especially good for teens.
By the time I graduated from high school in June 2001, everything I had ever written had been written for school, and the only people who ever read what I wrote were my parents, my teachers, and I. In October of that same year, for a reason that will elude mankind for eons to come, I started writing a short story in my spare time at college. I soon realized that I had released a beast that could not be controlled. That monster ran amok, and when it finally ended its rampage, it had become my nearly 60,000 word novel, Quorilax. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with this behemoth, so I decided that I would chain it up and put it on display for all to gawk at. But where? Then a friend told me about Writing.Com (Stories.Com at the time), and now people from Vancouver to Vladivostok and Stockholm to Sydney can gaze upon it. While Quorilax remains my pride and joy, I have added several other items to my portfolio – from the old to the new and the poetry to the prose – and I have made many great friends and read many great works. My wonderful experience here at Writing.Com reached an all-time high this week when I was given my first awardicon on Monday and Preferred Authorship the next day. I write this testimonial on Friday, February 14, 2003, because I feel that there is no better day than Valentine’s Day to say “I love you, Writing.Com!”
Writing.Com has worked wonders on my writing. I've always loved to write ever since I could spell and read, yet have had no one to actually help me improve upon what I already have. Writing.Com has changed that. A friend recommended me to the site a year or two ago, but I nearly forgot about it until just a couple of months ago. I reshaped my old account and voila! I'm getting extremely helpful reviews, as well as giving some too. I hope to start a reviewing group soon, dedicated to giving out helpful reviews. Well, I've wasted enough space on Writing.Com's memory, so I shall depart now.
Writing is a very personal experience. For me, it has always been a private journey, one that I only shared with my closest family and friends. I was very skeptical at joining an online community of writers; so skeptical that it took me two years of searching, evaluating and quietly moving on. Then I came across Writing.Com. From the very beginning, I was made to feel as one of their own and that I indeed had a home with this special breed of people. I was extremely humbled at the care, encouragement and kindness given me by other writers. I am proud to take my place with them, to work with, learn from, and, however small, to help them in their journeys as writers. Simply put, I have found my home here at Writing.Com! Thank you To the members, from the staff-who have demonstrated great care and detail to their comments to us-to the newbie who is just beginning their journey with us and adding to our ranks for making Writing.Com the best writing community on the web!
The best thing about Writing.Com is the site's versatility. Both static items and interactive features are offered for members and guests, surely igniting imaginations everywhere. Promoting one's work is greatly encouraged, and at Writing.Com, self promotion is easy for everyone. Best of all, any kind of [static] item can be posted regardless of length, and if anyone wants to read my work (be it colleges or relatives), I can point them in one direction: Writing.Com.
In June, it will have been two years since I became a member of Writing.Com. I have seen it grow so much since then. I truly have an addition to this site. I enjoy my writing but also reading what others write. It inspires me. I have always had a problem with staying on the site too long no matter how hard I try to limit my time. I know I am addicted to it, but it feels great! I have grown so much as a writer and made lots of friends along the way!
Writing.Com has really given me a chance to "Publish" my work and see what others think of it! Writing.Com is a great website for people of all ages and I hope they continue to run it!
Perhaps it is the wonderful reviews I can gain from here. Maybe the idea of just having an online portfolio to show to my friends. Possibly the astoundly and huge community of great writers alike. There is no single reason that I joined this site. And there is no single benefit either.
I discovered Writing.Com just a couple of months ago, and I am already completely addicted. What a wonderful place to come and post my writing, old and new. I receive wonderful reviews and advice, and I am able to return the favor by reviewing the work of others. Writing.Com is a great community as well-so warm and inviting. I love this place!
Writing.Com discovered ME! Until June 2002, I was the typical frustrated writer. I’d paid once to have one of my poems published in an anthology several years before and granted, it did make me feel good, but there was something missing. NO FEEDBACK! There were no literary smiles portrayed through words of acceptance, no “You go for it Teapotter, GREAT writing!” I received what I paid for, a yearly anthology with my one poem embedded within a multitude of others. I had tried several other writing sites, yet none offered what Writing.Com offers. I as now a member of an elite allegiance of friends with a common purpose and that purpose to me is to give to others- ourselves! I am both proud and humbled at being selected as a Preferred Author here at Writing.Com. This is indeed an honor and proves that people here DO pay attention. I am also pround to say that I have just mailed my check in to upgrade my membership to Premium. In doing so, I feel I have increased my capabilities tremendously and show my whole-hearted support for a wonderful writing site now called Writing.Com.
I joined Writing.Com a few months ago and it was a wonderful decision! Thankfully, one of my favorite authors moved here and let everyone know in her bio. I clicked the link, fell in love with this site immediately, and that is how I found a happy home for ALL my writing. FREEDOM! Thank you, Writing.Com!
What can I say except: Thank you.
I remember exactly how I found Writing.Com. I was looking through the internet for a place to put down my thoughts in an online journal, since typing for me is easier than using a paper and pen because of my arthritis. When I clicked on the link to Writing.Com, I was amazed to find that not only was this a place to keep that journal, but there were so many more things to explore; I haven't even touched a quarter of them six months later! I wouldn't give up this place now for the world, and even upgraded to a premium account so I can take full advantages of everything. I've met some great people here, found some awesome things to read/particpate in, and I am constantly recommending Writing.Com to everyone that I know who loves to write and read as I do. I hope Writing.Com stays around a long time to come, because I can't imagine not having it here to log into every day!
I came to Writing.Com in August of 2002. I fell in love with it within minutes. It's a great place for me to write all those stories I have created in my head and for all those stories lying around the house. Here, not only can I post my stories, but people can read them as if they were published, and I can get feedback on them. Campfires are fun and I've always enjoyed interactive stories. This site is for anyone who enjoys writing and wants others to read
their stories!
I have only been a member of Writing.Com since December 15, 2002 and already I've purchased an upgraded membership. This website is invaluable for writers; it has motivated me to write more often and is a wonderful place to read, critique, enter contests, and have fun! I still have a lot to find out about the seemingly inexhaustible resources and activities here, and I'm really looking forward to delving in deeper.
This site changed my life in so many ways. I was about to give up writing all together until I found this fabulous site. I love all the postiive feedback I get from my fellow writers. I made several good friends, too. This site is an essential tool to any writer looking to be published or for honest reviews. The people are so nice here. I also like that we have all kinds of ages, races, and people on this site. Thank you for becoming my muse.
