Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2024 Day 1: Prompt 1. Sept 1. It's the site's 24th Anniversary. Tell us about your love or fondness of Writing.com. What makes this a wonderful place for writers? Why are you (still) here? After last night's scare - I forgot to renew before noon yesterday. I was scrambling to pay my membership and get back on track. Nobody wants to miss the birthday celebration! I have been with Writing.com since March of 2013. I joined and was overwhelmed at first. So much so I didn't do much on site until just before birthday week that same year. By then I was ready. I was hungry to be part of something that could inspire and rocket me forward in my writing aspirations. I learned so much that first month! The challenges I took on focused me to try my hand at things I had never considered. My confidence grew. I was impressed that I was able to come up with descent stories with 24 hour deadlines - something I needed. I was able to stretch and grow. And with that, I was able to meet like-minded people with creative dreams. Making friends allowed me to be both encouraged and a cheerleader. It was everything I needed and more. I look forward to the various challenges over the course of the year. I really love prepping for NaNoWriMo and have taken on the challenge of becoming one of the writing coaches. I love the monthly contests and really enjoy the push from challenges like I Write and the monthly Contest Challenge. I have even taken on the challenge of being a judge for some of the contests. I like that I can go at my own pace. I look forward to signing on to Writing.com each day. I am able to keep track of my writing goals and be held accountable. I learn a lot from the feedback on my stories and have learned just a much by being able to review others. There is something for everyone here at Writng.com. I love the comradery and fun. I consider Writing.com my online home and each of you are part of my family. Thank you so much for being here and accepting me into the fold. Word count = 338. |

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.
