I must say that the merit badges are a great thing on this site, and I love the graphics... did you do all that yourself? They're great! Might I suggest a merit badge? something having to do with music, because a lot of writing.com members write parodies and such on the site, and I think that there should be a merit badge to reward some of their spectacular efforts.
thank you for sharing. i often wonder sometimes why some people are here, and what motivates them to write, and it is a wonderful idea for you to write a piece which shares all of that... your writing history, your purpose... your "raison d'etre," if you will (raison d'etre= 'reason to be' in French)
not all of the verses flow exactly right, but i actually sang through the entire song, and it does work. great job. i think that this was a true exercise in creativity and research in current events. i give you a lot of credit for that. i also liked how you used writingML to set what you wrote apart from the rest of the song.
I love how one writer's writing can inspire another, and I love how you were inspired by Otis Redding's song. I'm often inspired to write songs and poetry based on books, movies, and other songs, and other poems. Writers are sponges... we absorb everything, and then, every now and then, when enough seeps in, we have to wring that sponge that is our minds out, and then you get a wonderful piece like this.
Keep up the good work!
as I'm writing a lesson plan for my history class to teach about the Salem Witch Trials currently, I was surprised by the accuracy of your quotations in a fictional account of the trials.
Writing "the end" at the end of this piece is unnecessary, as it's already assumed, so if I were you I'd take that out. Otherwise, great work!
as I usually find with your items, this piece is incredibly informative, and I thank you for educating me and the rest of the writing.com community about your culture.
I did find several typographical and grammatical errors. you often use "than" when it is appropriate to use "then." also, fulfill has two "l"s and you only put one "l" when you used this word.
I really enjoyed this, but you need to fix the WritingML at the end, as {b/} is visible... possibly because you didn't make anything bold to begin with, and so how can you finish bolding when you never began?
There is no need to put the title of the poem at the beginning of the piece, but if you must, then underline it or use quotations to set it apart from the rest. To underline just use {u} and {/u}
i'm rather surprised that the authors that inspired you don't all have books on your favourite book list. this is a great bio, and a great way of introducing yourself to writing.com, and i think everyone should post a little bit of a bio in their port, so that we can all get to know each other better. i would have added another section for favourite song after the part about what's in your cd player now part, but that's just me.
this is a great concept, but if i were you, i would have created it in a message forum where people could post directly, and you could just reply, and then, you could also make a note that if they didn't want to post, they could email you.
you forgot the "w" on the end of the word "know".
i hope you get some interesting questions... i can see this is new so not many people may have asked anything yet... maybe you should plug this item some places?
I really like this signature... very artistic... creative... unique. I don't think I've seen any other quite like it on writing.com... or even anywhere else on the internet!
Hi! I'd like to join this group... I'm going back to college, and I'm so incredibly afraid of getting the FRESHMAN 15 again, because I just lost the FRESHMAN 15 from my last FRESHMAN year! I also need to lose about 10 pounds from where I am right now... and I need all the support I can get.

This item is a great introduction to writing.com, and I loved how it reads... almost like you're sitting there talking to me, telling me this... it's conversational, almost. I love the ending, how you call writing your home. Thank you for contributing this piece.
this is an interesting idea or concept... that the software companies may in fact be the ones creating the viruses, but right now, isn't adware and spyware almost worse than the viruses... because adware and spyware... no matter what software you have... somehow manages to come back! Norton and Macafee do a pretty good job of getting rid of the viruses.
Hi! This is a wonderfully charitable group, and you really seem to be such angels to everyone here on writing.com! I would like to join the group... can you please add me?? I just have a question... how do you go about deciding who to upgrade... besides them being nominated/posting in your forum?
thank you for providing this excellent place for us to plug our items and gain exposure to our ports. i don't think i can really thank you enough for creating this wonderful site for me to share my writing, and connect with other people.
this is a really fun creative exercise. Thank you for contributing this excellent piece to the community here at writing.com. I will be sure to come back and add more sets of three words. I would like to ask, though... where did you get the idea for this?
When I read this, I CRIED! My boyfriend, who I was sure was "THE ONE" dumped me last week. He had told me that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me... and then, last Thursday, he told me that he was wrong... that he doesn't love me... that he thinks I'm a horrible person, and I was left wondering "WHY DOES TRUE LOVE ONLY FLOW IN THAT ONE DIRECTION?"
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of this feature. As I'm a newbie here at writing.com, I hadn't yet discovered this "statistics" tool, but I am sure that it will prove useful to me, as I analyze who my target audience is by seeing who rates what and how.
LMAO... this is so funny... I needed something to laugh at today, and this is great, and it's a wonderful idea. A great exercise in creative thinking. I'm adding this item to my favourites!
It surprises me how many people are so willing to give up their names, which are the essence of their identities. I'd sooner give up my house and live in a cardboard box than give up who I am.
This is an excellent idea. It encourages reviews, and encourages us to broaden our horizons and review different authors, whose works we might not otherwise have read. It also encourages us to review EVERYTHING that we do read.
