Writing.comReviews 236

I have a 17 year-old granddaughter who has a gift for words and who has the same passion for writing and creative arts as i have. I shared with her this great website, because i know she will get great help in growing her gift here. By reading and reviewing all of the great writers who come here, one gets to see the world through their eyes.

I am not avid at much of any particular activity, but I do have pride for the substances of what I write about, and therefore like the idea of calling myself an avid writer.

Changing geographical locations to suit my needs and emotional tidal waves has been a stepping stone for me. But when the soul does not have clarity within their lives it is then that waves of emotional insignificance can become tides of typhoons, tsunami, and or walls of determination to ripple its waves upon their whole surrounding environment.

Here in Writing.com, you've found a team of bureaucrats who value your experiences of LIFE & HOPE, nothing less or more than to help you find a moment of clarity to give your soul a needed rest in rejuvenation, if you will, to accomplish what it is you want to accomplish with your writing team.

Good fortune - good luck - good riddance - & GODSPEED in your writing endeavors!

Sincere regards,
Albert Wayne Sheda

I've been a member of Writing Dot Com now for nearly a decade. My experience has been helpful, entertaining, and ultimately inspires me to keep reading and writing. I've entered contests, won a couple, been published in newsletters, offered many reviews to assist other writers, and had a blast all along. I strongly recommend this site to any aspiring writer, and even to people who are just looking for things to read and/or review!

This site has been a haven for me, my home away from home. I have been afforded opportunity to meet some wonderful folks, write stories, poetry or whatever I felt at the time and receive reviews as well as give reviews of others works. I have had fun through the activities they offer and felt apart of something much bigger than you or I. It is a good feeling to know you can honestly share your thoughts about someone's writing and encourage them to continue. Others have done as much for me, a new writer, for which I am ever grateful. Writing.com has been nothing but a PLUS in my life, and I'm so glad I found it! Linda

I absolutely love writing.com - the writing community is so warm and welcoming... you can get honest reviews for your work, and if you need help, there's always someone around who can help you. StoryMaster and StoryMistress really take pride in their site and don't allow bullying or anything threatening to go on in the site - at least not to my knowledge... When you have questions and email the site masters, they are really good about responding quickly! I absolutely love writing.com and I am now a member for LIFE!

This community is a great and open place to write anything and everything you've got on your mind. Blogs, short stories, novellas, and novels are all welcome. All genres and just about any circumstance you can place your characters in and situations you've been through are all here. Come and find the help and encouragement you need.

I've been a member for many years of this online community. I've found the flash fiction writing challenges and various clubs in the community to give me that creative spark to get my stories down. I particularly love the portfolio feature. It is designed to be read on a smartphone without having to fiddle with it. Much better font than reading from Dropbox! There has been more than one time at a convention or book signing where I'm asked to read something from my body of work on the fly. Having easy online access to my stories and poetry for live readings has been a lifesaver in these situations.
