How To Create an Item
Most of the many things you can do on Writing.Com happen in an item within a member's portfolio. Writing.Com provides many useful tools that allow you to create a wide variety of items where you can express your creativity and ideas. New features are added often.

Every Writing.Com member has a personal portfolio for storing his or her Items. Creating an item begins by clicking +CREATE SOMETHING in the left navigation or + Create on your portfolio page (from the left navigation: click Portfolio / Portfolio or click your handle).

Once your portfolio page is open, click the
+ Create link below your PORTFOLIO tools in your Portfolio tab.

From the
CREATE SOMETHING NEW page, choose the type of item you wish to create and click the link to get started.

For more information on how to get your writing into your portfolio, see How To Upload Writing.
