:: GPs for RAOK ::
From now through March 8th, 2005, each purchase of Gift Points will help to
support "RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group" , one of the most actively giving
groups within Writing.Com. When you buy Gift Points, a donation to RAOK
will be made in your name!

With our automated order processing, Gift Points paid for through PayPal
will be instantly credited to your account and the Gift Point donation to RAOK

us to provide more tools, resources and readers to our community. Purchasing
GPs at this time, also supports one of the most generous groups within our
community. Members can purchase GPs from "Our Store":

:: Reminder: Burn My Letter - Volume 3 ::
On the road to publication, rejection happens. Many excellent writers will
never be published because they fear those inevitable rejection letters. That fear
prevents them from even trying to have their work published and, therefore, their
talents go unnoticed. This is your third chance to change that with:
         "Burn My Letter - Volume 5" 

One random winner will choose either 1,500,000 Gift Points or a One Year
Professional Membership (valued at $419.95). Two additional random winners
will win 250,000 Gift Points each!


Thank you for your continued support of Writing.Com!
