"I don't know what is in Writing.com that captivated me to stay with the community. I won't say it's the awesome groups that I am in, the lovely Community Notes or those gorgeous AwardIcons and Merit Badges. It's not also the Gift Points or the Paid Membership I have. I don't know! I just feel addicted with this site that I can't sleep a night if I missed my day's log-in. Even how far the internet cafe is or most of the time, I borrow money from somebody - from a friend to go online, it doesn't matter to me as long as I can visit Writing.com to update my activities, read my emails, add new items, take reviews, and publish the things I have written on my drafts. Maybe it'as the strong motivation that Writing.com gave me. The encouraging words of my fellow group members and the positive and helpful reviews plus the inspiring ratings I received from friendly Writing.com members. At Writing.com, I feel so comfortable and cared. No other online community that always inspire writers and readers than WDC. Great hosts, friendly members, excellent website indeed! Thanks and Write on!"

      "I've been a member of Writing.com for nearly six years. I took a break from this site twice, and came back. My last hiatus ended in August 2011, and since then I've felt like I REALLY belong here. I'm not a person to befriend others easily, but even I have succeeded in meeting some people and getting involved in this colorful community to some extent. My writing skills have improved immensely since joining WDC, particularly since my last return the previous summer. I have written things I never thought possible, and I have also read wonderful, memorable stories and poems. WDC definitely helped me broaden my horizon."

      "I first started on WDC as a way to see if I was really any good at writing. I loved to write stories that others would enjoy but also I would enjoy writing. I found from my time on WDC that it is much more than just a place to display your work and see if there is a fan base to sell your work too. It is a home away from home, with a large family that stand behind you through it all. They will pat you on the back for a job well done as will as hold you up while pointing out errors they find. My family has grown and grown with each new perosn that comes to this site. The one thing I have found it that in great times my family is here but in hard times they are huddled around me send out all their good engery to me to help me back up. I can not stress how much I love this site, one that not only lets me make friends with my fellow writers but to be a part of something bigger. I hear all the time how fun facebook is or another social site is, but this site is far better to me than any other. With no other drama than the ones you read in a great story. I have now sent seven teens to this site, where they have signed up for their own accounts, inculding my middle daughter. All have found they are on WDC more than they are on any other site and love not only being able to post their own work but being able to read things from other writers that help them become better writers. I can not thank this site enough for all it has done for me. My passion for writing is back and I have found I write a lot more since I came here then I did before joining. {e:heart}"

      "If asked about the features I'd like to find in my ideal web based portal, I'd list: people, stories, reviews, contests, community, sharing, faces, support, reference, library, chat and inspiration. WDC pegs them all. I have found my ideal place, my hub, my virtual writing heaven and I've found friends and many friendly souls to share with. I'm really losing myself in this world of WDC and learn so much here every day. I come back to give in return and receive even more support. Keep going strong WDC. We are the better world."

      "What do I think of Writing.com? I think this site has amazing features that are viewed by many loved fans. This site has three things to change; it helps inspire others, helps with dreams, and it helps with imagination. I'm new here, and yet, I've already easily caught on! Writing.com is a fun, active site and it is extremely easy to learn about. "

      "Writing.com. How did I get through my days before this site? I love it here. I've met some great people, had some excellent feedback on my stories and read some truly excellent and interesting work. If I can't sign on here at least once a day I start to have withdrawals. I feel at home here and after a stressful day at work, I come here to relax. Thanks to the authors, staff, and dedicated volunteers on this wonderful place. Thanks again. simply2012"

      "I love WDC, it has helped in vastly improving my writing skills. I love to both read and write. I make sure to log on everyday. It's hard to imagine what life was like without! I've recommended it to all my writing friends at school! I could be here for days, listing all the great things about WDC...So I'll just say, it's amazing!"

      "I don't know how I would have lived without finding Writing.Com. Writing.Com has really helped me grow as a writer. I had an account before this one, but I took a break from it for a couple of weeks and forgot my user information. I know a lot more about writing than I ever thought I would know. I look forward to the time I'm going to spend on this website!"

      "Writing.com is the best site by far on the internet for anyone who is looking for feedback on their talents. It's helped me grow and learn more about my own writing, as well as see how unique others are with their craft. WdC is an addiction, and one I'm very proud to have! You couldn't pull me away from here, no matter what! -Angus- "

      "Writing.com is a very good website. Here people help each other, and newbies get pointed in the right direction. Writing.com is also good because you could find someone with the interests as you. I did and would like to congratulate writing.com for being around for 11 years! I created my first account in 2008 and have seen this website become better and far more customizable. Hope to review your work new people! ;)"

      "Dear WDC, Thank you so much for giving me the inspiration to let my writings go public. I am a frequent visitor to The Writer’s Cramp forum on your page. I submitted one of the entries I did for the Cramp to another link on your site and it is going to be published! I am very excited as none of my writings have ever been published before. Respectfully, Your Humble Dragon "

      "Its been one year since I joined WDC, and let me say, I love this place. I've met new people, made new friends, and in my point of view, I've really improved my writing skills. The writers here are very nice, and the ones I've met are very helpful. I'm so glad I found this place, and I hope I can spend many more years here!"

      "Writing.com" I've been here since year 2009 and this is the only year that I have more time to visit Writing.com to exchange thoughts by posting my stories aor leaving a review in each and every member available that I visit. I'm very happy that this site is helping me improve how to tell a storry, grammar and english skills too and seems like I can get more peeps here. Good Luck and more power guys!"

      "It's been my first birthday on WDC and I can't believe how far I've come. This time last year, I had just started my first chapter in my Draco Malfoy fanfic, now I am still continuing that, and yet my writing skills have developed greatly, and I have branched off to write other things too. I would just lkike to thank WDC for making this an amazing year for me, and I hope to show you some great things."

      "I joined writing.com only a few months ago, afflicted with a serious case of writer's block. Happily, the condition is in remission because this site motivated me to keep on writing and to keep studying my creative writing course. I have been able to submit two articles for publication in community magazines since I joined. Thank you writing.com."

      "There's no other writing sites that match Writing.com. This is a place I called it my second home! "

      "Writing.com provides a solid, user-friendly, interpersonal, virtual environment for like-minded individuals with genuinely creative abilities or an interest to learn to come together. The lessons in which you learn, friends you make, and contacts achieved will purely depend on your motivation to learn, read, write, or present to others your unique contributions to society globally, and all through Writing.com !"

      "My home away from home, while I am at home. My writing has improved by participating in reviewing and contests. Living out in the middle of no where makes it hard to make or keep friends. 99% of my best friends, I made on this site. I couldn't live without it anymore. If I ever get the nerve to put myself out there to be published, it will be because of WDC and all the people I have met here. "

      "This website is so amazing, and I am glad I have found it. Though, it has been less than two months, I have already entered two contests and several groups. I'm learning this site fast. Is it a good thing that I am addicted to this site already? I am glad that I found this place, and I love the people here. They are so friendly!"

      "Love this website. Love this world. Become an Author. Give it a whirl."

      "Finding a decent blogging website for writers is strangely difficult. I searched the web for a period of about two or three days before I found writing.com. It's arguably the best blogging site for writers that exists today. Not only do I get great feedback and confidence boosters, but I also get to read creative pieces of fiction by other authors!"

      "This is a perfect place for writing your heart out, and then editing it."

      "There's no place like home."

      "Who needs to buy books when you have writing.com. Who needs facebook when you have writing.com. Who needs Netflix when you have writing.com Who needs to eat, sleep, or work when you have writing.com. Can you tell I'm addicted to writing.com? :)"

      "This site is one of most thoroughly diverse I have found on the web. A reader may use this as a reservoir in which his mind may dive and swim through a fantastic myriad of prose. The writer can hone his or her skill at their leisure and store work safely on this site. We may participate in various contests, review processes, have personal interactions, conduct business through email, and above all else, read and be read! It has been a truly useful forum for me personally and I admit, a daily destination for me as I work on various projects."
