The Shape of Today

How I Got Here...

It might be of interest to the Writing.com staff---or anybody else---to know how some of us landed here on these friendly shores.

In my case, I was perusing the message board of a rather well-known writing magazine. I like message boards and have done some moderation myself in the past, so they're interesting to me. This board, sadly, seems to have fallen into neglect. It's overrun with bots and the members that are posting there don't seem to be doing so regularly.

Of course, one expects writers to prioritize their own writing first rather than message board posts. However, one member there mentioned Writing.com as a place for writers to gather, so I just ambled right over here. I still am very much a newbie and am still flailing around trying to learn all the ins and outs, but I love the openness of the place and the focus on creativity. In fact, I've encouraged my guild leader and some other friends to come check the site out.

Long story short: Looks like y'all are stuck with me.
