      I came across Writing.Com quite by accident. I had been a member of online artist communities for a long time, but now that I was interested in writing seriously, I was curious to see if there were communities available to me just for writers. Imagine my delight when, after googling it, I found Writing.Com! As I explored the site, I grew very excited—not only had I found exactly what I was looking for, but I could just see myself fitting right in! And boy, was I right! Thanks to Writing.com, I found the help I was looking for when it came to my writing—here was a community full of people who were kind, supportive, and happy to help me grow as a writer! I felt more welcome here than I did in any of my artist communities! *Bigsmile* But most importantly, all the writing advice, criticism, and, yes, even praise (because it's just as important to know what needs improvement as it is to know what you're doing right in your work) that my work received inspired me to devote my life to writing, just as I had with my art. I am now studying fiction writing in college, and was accepted into their competitive creative writing program with work I had written (and gotten reviews of) here on the site. So thank you, Writing.Com, for changing my life—literally!
      I stumbled across Writing.Com just about one year ago when I was randomly searching around the Internet. I read a whole bunch of interesting pieces of fanfiction that seemed far superior to independent sites. I looked further and found great pieces for deep thinking, of enlightenment. Soon I created an account and found a whole world of passionate writers eager to provide feedback for one another. All I can say is that I've seen a lot of great pieces from the folks here, and I've gotta get some writing of my own done!

      I have been experiencing and enjoying Writing.com since October 18th 2009. It is the largest, most diverse collection of stories ever written and the best part is, I'm one of the writers!
If you are new to this site, please sign up and explore, add a story of your own. You will be glad you did, I know I am!
      I just want to say that everyone that I have come in contact with since joining writing.com, has been absolutely friendly and helpful. Everyone seems willing to offer advice and to help others improve their craft. I absolutely love the site, the opportunity to read others works, and to have my own read. Terrific.
      I always enjoyed writing and was really looking through some sites on the web to drop some loosely written prose. Then I stumbled upon Writing.com and got hooked. I can't write any old stuff anymore, I am held accountable by a whole family for producing a quality work, prompted to be responsible with my submissions, and learn how to write properly the stories I love reading. And there are so many things to do on the site--it's overwhelming! I got more than I thought I wanted, but a whole lot of what I really needed. Thanks a million!
      All my life I've had a dream of being a famous author. I'm still working on it, and writing.com has helped me tremendously. When I knew writing was a passion of mine, I went onto Quizilla.com to write stories. From experience, Quzilla sucks cheese compared to writing.com. In the two years I shared stories there, I got one message. And that was only a reply to a review I wrote to someone else. Here, I put a poem and the next day I get about 6 feedback reviews. If you want to write, this is the site for you. You'll get the encouragement and activities you need to become a fabulous and successful writer.
      "Writing.com" is one of the best things that happened to me. I first entered this site after I searched for a place online to post my writings. And the first result was "Writing.com". I was so excited to find a community where I could fit and communicate with the ones that share the same interest with me. I signed up and began reading, writing and reviewing. Since then, writing.com became my second home. Everyone is so encouraging, respectful and nice. I couldn't be any happier... This site is a "one of a kind", a pure inspiration!
      About eight years ago, a friend turned me on to Writing.com. I was hooked, reading what others wrote and starting to write fiction on my own. (I was already published as a columnist in a small, international, special-interest publication.) For several years, I was deprived of the use of the internet, but when I got back on-line, my first priority was getting back to Writing.com. I have written a couple of pieces that have been submitted for publication, and I have a good start on a novel. Writing.com is the place for me; Writing.com is the place to be.

      How I got started on WDC? I was looking on the web for publishers. I came accross Writing.com, read what it was all about, and signed up for a free trial. It took me a while to grasp what this website was all about. I was about to give up, when this "good samaritan" signed me up for a three month "Upgraded" membership. Well, if this unknown person thought this site was so good, I stayed to study up on how to do things the WDC way. I read all the newsletters that were very helpful, and started to write. Now I'm so hooked, my family is annoyed with me for ignoring them. I love this site, and thank you to my "good samaritan" for your kindness. You know a good thing when you see it. Yeah WDC!
      I love writing.com! I used to be in a writer's group locally. It turned out it was nothing I was hoping or looking for. I get evals and reviews from like minded individuals, and others whose interests are far from my own. The thread in common is that everyone makes it about the writing. I get to read works by others in different genres and sometimes the same genres and review works that gain my interest. BRAVO, WELL DONE and KEEP IT GOING WRITING.COM!!

      WDC is an amazing place for avid readers and writers of any place. I had an account back in high school, and 6 years later I finally came back and quickly became immersed in everything that WDC offers. I realized that I don't only love writing, but I really love reviewing and encouraging others. I appreciate so much the feedback I get and the very thoughtful and sincere WDC members who help me along the way.
      Writing has been a seret obsession of mine for many years and I am used to getting 'that look' when I have been brave enough to admit to it. I came to WDC after a long fallow period, maybe a decade - lumme - so long? I didn't intend to stay long here, but I am becoming quietly addicted. It feels like walking the corridors of Uni - so much to learn, so much to do and so much inspiration. I can let my passion flow no one seems to mind at all that I am mildly eccentric.
      I discovered writing.com in 2004 by accident. I was in awe at how complete and wonderful this site was. I became addicted emediately! Unfortunately life got in the way and I was not always able to get on writing.com and it was years before I was able to join the comunity again on a semi-regular basis. I started a new account in 2009 and I felt like I had been reunited with a lost love! Its wonderful to be involved with such a rich community of writers!
      I love to write, my problem is that I doubt myself and so avoid doing it(!). Writing.com spurs me on, cheers me up, gives me a lust for writing like nothing else can. Reading and reviewing other people's work helps me better understand the intricacies of writing, makes me feel like I can help people in the same boat and boosts my confidence in my own writing skills. Just logging on makes me feel like more of a writer as it enables me to enter a world of sympathetic and supportive minds.

      Writing.com is amazing!!! It has helped me published my work for the world to read and share my story and know that I'm not alone! Even if I do become a successful author, I will still be on this site, because it's where I got my start and future big break!
      I have only been on Writing.Com for a few days and have thoroughly enjoyed having my poems and stories read. I also really enjoy reading other people's work.

      My parents are totally into this site, and this site has helped me come along in writing SO much. I check, write, and visit WDC as much as I check my email. This site gives me inspiration, and everyone here is so nice. Seriously.
      In 2006, I joined Writing.com and quickly became an addict. My muse was back, my writing was strong, and the community helped me stay inspired, engaged, and enriched. Now, in 2011, I am back and wholly addicted once again. I can't get enough, and I'm looking forward to see what inspiration lays around the corner for me once again!
      Writing.Com has really helped me in my writing! I love the fact that anyone can read what I write! I've always kept my work to myself but here I can let people read my writing and comment on it. I hope to be an author someday and if I am I know it will partly be due to Writing.Com!

      I LOVE writing.com. It has really helped me to become a better writer. It also helped me prepare for publishing my book that I am currently writing. Thank you so much for creating this site. It has greatly helped aspiring writers, like me, come out of our shells.
      I have been around for a while writing and striving, striving and writing. I was very unsure of my talent and made some progress but not a great amount because of my unsure attitude toward my work.
I came to Writing.com and began to get positive feedback and the most incisive and complete criticism available from all the wonderful writers.
The upfront word for Writing.com is SUPPORT. I have never been to a writing site that gives more support than at Writing.com. The reviewers are uplifting, encouraging and knowledgeable. They seek to strengthen anyone's talent with honest, progressive reviews.
I recommend Writing.com for anyone. Whether you are a published writer or a beginner you can benefit from Writing.com.

      ''Being a scriptwriter myself (well I'm not there yet, but yes just like writing.com, I'm on another screen-writing website). This website is fantastic, and there are many brilliant poems and far better stories on this website, despite the fact that I'm in the UK!

This website is, well let's say every writer's dream whether new or old. I always thought there was a website for writers, just like us screenwriters, and amazingly this is the one.

I'd like to see many screenwriters and writers to join this website and share ideas together.

A very good website, the people are friendly! Really they are! And all the things you need!

I'd rate this number one website in the web rankings of the world.
      I've been saying that I was going to submit a testimonial when I hit a year of being on writing.com, this was after being on the website after one month. I really enjoy this website. I first found this site at school while looking for something interesting to read. The first thing that came up was writing.com. Once in it, I started reading, reviewing, and eventually even posted some of my own pieces. Writing.com, is way more that a website with people's writings, it really is a community. I thank The StoryMistress, StoryMaster, and everybody else involved for putting this wonderful website community together.

      I first joined writing.com back in 2008, the year before my GCSE's.
For my whole life I had been labelled as an underachiever, especially in English. I was in special help classes throughout most of my time at school. But within just months of joining this site I learned so much which really helped me not only drastically improve my writing skills but also to grow as a person. In 2009 I was one of just 3 people in my year group of 120 pupils to achieve an A* in my English Language GCSE and I owe that success completely to this site and it's member. Now I am returning as an A grades A-Level student and am looking forward to contributing to this community once again. Writing.com is brilliant!
