I found WDC in 2005 because I was looking for other writers. BUT I was looking for MORE than just other writers. I was looking for beta readers, support, cheers, and a forum to help develop my writing and make it grow. When Starr Phenix recommended WDC, I had to join.

Why do I like being on WDC? For all of the above. The #1 reason is that Writing.com has helped me develop my writing. I’ve grown as a writer here on the forum. Adverbs? Who needs them?

I like interacting with the community. I started “Steph Bee’s Bee Hive,” to encourage more interaction and support with a focus on non-writing items like word searches, crosswords and quizzes. For me, Writing.com is full of “good vibes” and I appreciate the positive, uplifting environment.
