Honoring the Horror Genre and More!

Greetings Members!

:: We're honoring the Horror Genre! ::
It's October and Writing.Com is celebrating the seasonal changes by honoring
the Horror Genre! We've dimmed the lights and given the site a spooky feel.
We hope you will take the time this month to explore the genre further, both in
your writing and reading.

Be sure to check out the Horror genre:

:: Reminder: Writing.Com - A Top Writers Site For 2005! ::
We're proud to note that Writing.Com was ranked in the top 101 Best Web Sites
for Writers according to Writer's Digest. Inclusion in the list requires nominations
and so we want to thank you, our members, for the kind words you've sent in
about our site and community.

Please remember: To be a top site in 2006, we need your nominations again.
Simply send your nominations of Writing.Com for next year's list to:
                   [e-mail]
with 101 Sites as the subject line. Thank you for your support!


:: Reminder: Burn My Letter - Volume 3 ::
On the road to publication, rejection happens. Many excellent writers will
never be published because they fear those inevitable rejection letters. That fear
prevents them from even trying to have their work published and, therefore, their
talents go unnoticed. This is your third chance to change that with:
         "Burn My Letter - Volume 5" 

One random winner will choose either 1,500,000 Gift Points or a One Year
Professional Membership (valued at $419.95). Two additional random winners
will win 250,000 Gift Points each!


Thank you for your continued support of Writing.Com!
