Happy Birthday, Writing.Com!!!!


Yes folks, tis the birthday of the best--bar none--writing website on the web!
The site will be decorated and the community will be celebrating in a number of ways.

We've all been impacted by this place. It is a home to many of us, we've met friends here. Our writing has improved, we've won a contest or auction item.

I had actually found Writing.Com over a year before I got the nerve up to register and submit my first piece of writing. A huge step for me! Not once have I ever regretted that step!

So here's my heartfelt "THANK YOU!" to our "most excellant hosts," The StoryMaster and his lovely The StoryMistress ...

I love you guys! Thank you for providing a wonderful, friendly, nurturing place for me to write and grow as a writer and person.

LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!

Nikola--Your Editor's picks were outstanding this month! I've read two and plan on reading the others.
