I don't know about the rest of you, but I've looked forward to September for the past several years. Why? Well, it's the time of year we celebrate the birthday of our favorite website, of course! *Bigsmile*

And I think this year, we've really topped ourselves! Just take a look at all the cool stuff going on:

What makes Writing.Com so great? What drives its success (thirteen years as a successful website? That's amazing!)? Well, one of the obvious answers would be its members! Without writers striving to be better and desiring a community to interact in, Writing.Com might not have made it this far.

So, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for making this site what it is! Please visit "Writing.Com Party Central 2024!" Open in new Window. [E] and help us all celebrate 13 wonderful years, and many, many more to come! Take part in the fun, creative, inspiring activities and contests going on! Write a random review! Greet/Review a newbie! Create a contest or activity of your own! Keep on doing what you've been doing for the past thirteen years that has made this site the place where the writers go!


Happy Birthday, WdC Sig 4




Always keep on writing!

Ask & Answer

My last newsletter, ("Contests & Activities Newsletter (August 7, 2013)" Open in new Window.), discussed staying positive.


It looks like you have had a tough time. Sorry about your losses. Keeping positive or counting ones blessing is the key to not losing your mind. Sometimes it is harder than you think. But one must try.
 ~ Dorianne Author Icon

Thanks so much for your encouragement and kind words! *Smile*




Good viewpoint Spidey - I am a big believer in fate - if something good is meant to happen....it will *Smile*

I hope you managed to get the money back on your credit card! I have had quite a few friends this has happened to - even my Mum someone stealing her pension money from her bank account *Sad*!They have all managed to get it back tho so fingers crossed! ~ Jellyfish in Morocco Author Icon

Thanks! I was able to get everything back, thankfully! *Smile*





This was a very timely post. I'm going through some tough times right now. It's always good to read fresh perspectives on this and you're right, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it's hard to know what that reason is! ~ Diana Author Icon

It can be tough to stay positive, but I think it's important to at least try. I hope your tough times pass, too! *Smile*




Fabulous advice, Spidey. Occasionally I feel sorry for myself for failing to complete a story for a contest, or not placing in one. It passes, of course, and I realize such events strengthen me. Now I just have to keep THAT thought foremost in my mind. *Smile* ~ JACE Author Icon

That's great advice! *Smile*
