Keeping In Touch
WdC offers tons of ways to get to know one another, and then keep in touch. Here are just a few!
Yes, Writing.Com is certainly a writing website, but it also offers a way to get to know people. It is a community built around people, for people, by people. As such, there are many ways to connect, so here are a few!
1. Instant Messenger/Scroll
On the left sidebar, there is a little square chat bubble beneath the first box. If you have not yet discovered Scroll, you are missing loads of fun. There are word games, people to chat with, GPs to be earned, and fun to be had.
2. Forums
Forums on all different topics are found all over the site. You can engage in conversations about writing, politics, contests, reviewing, blogging, raffles, and many other topics. Just look on the sidebar under "Browse by Type", choose forums, and then put in your favorite topic. You never know what you may find.
3. Groups
Groups are very much like forums, except that they are often closed, and their forums can only be seen by members. It is a more private setting, rather than a public one, to share common interests. Again, "Browse by Type", choose groups, and then put in your favorite topic. Some groups allow anyone to join, some you need to email the owner, but get on out there!.
4. Facebook
Oh yes, WdC is on facebook! They link us to newsletters, stir up our imaginations with fun questions, allow us to connect to others outside of WdC, maybe even members that haven't logged in for a while, and need some encouragement. Poke them, nudge them, encourage them, and get your creative juices flowing.
5. Twitter
Some prefer the shorter posts on Twitter. Much the same as Facebook, it allows members to connect outside of the site, and spread our writing virus all over the internet to affect other people. Take a peek! |
