In my past two newsletters, I’ve been touching on Writing.Com as a Community. I did not realize what I was getting into when I created my account at Writing.Com (then Stories.Com)! I thought I had found a nice website that I could spend a little time reading in my down time at work. I did, but also found a place that I could put my own works for all to read. This is something I had been wanting to do. I had gotten my own domain name and began to write a novel on my site, but getting exposure was difficult. Getting feedback was next to impossible.

I am a shy person by nature, but still enjoyed meeting the people behind the user names. It made me realize even more that Writing.Com is a community posing as a website.  If you haven’t done all to get involved in this wonderful community, why don’t you try some of the In and Outs, Campfire Creative, Scrolling IM board, Contests and general reviewing. You’ll meet some wonderfully creative people and become introduced to a friendly community! Don't forget to put some of your own writings here and set that Bio Block. If you need help learning how to do these things, try the
