Day to Day happenings in my life

Best three years

PROMPT September 1st

Happy 20th Birthday, WDC!

I know this is cheesy, but I have to do it... In your entry today, write about what you love about Writing.Com. How have you grown as a writer? How are you (as a writer) different from how you were when you first joined this site? Thank the members who helped you get where you are today.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about WdC. I can honestly say joining this group of like minded people, from all over the world, changed my life for the better.
I knew I wanted to write and I belonged to a small community group of creative writers but they weren’t enough. I wasn’t getting the feedback I needed. Searching on line for ‘something’, not sure what, I came across WdC. Cautiously, I signed up, wondering if the site could be trusted. I was unsure.
Struggling to make sense of all the coding, I joined The Rockin Reviewers and with the help and patience from Hannah ♫♥♫ I began to navigate my way around the site. I’m still learning and yesterday with the help from northernwrites I embedded a GIF!
It was three years ago this month since I first joined. I’ve averaged adding one story a week to my portfolio since that time, entered numerous contests and received constructive, helpful advice and feedback.
I feel as if I’m a part of a special group of people, they all have the same desire which is to find the perfect prose. We all know what it feels like to be happy with what we’ve written, that feeling which tells you that it’s right. Also we know the frustration of getting the thoughts, which swirl around in our heads, out, and into a form which makes perfect sense to the reader.
Reading other’s work and sending reviews has been one way which has helped my own writing enormously too. I only wish I had started writing much sooner than I did, but better late than never.
