I want to be a writer and I have joined writing.com, is there another site out there like writing.com?

Question

I want informative free club sites like that to put my writing on and to beable to read other writing as well.

Answer 1

Another vote for AbsoluteWrite.com/forums. The quality and professionalism of critique there is well above any other writing site's that I've visited. People do not offer praise where it's not due, and do offer encouragement to try again when the writing's serious flawed.

Too many writing sites have members blowing sunshine and rainbows up one another's backsides, telling each other their writing is good when it's not. This serves no purpose, since the work will still be rejected when submitted for publication.

Personally, I have no problem posting portions of my work at AW's Water Cooler for critique. Since the Share Your Work forums are password protected, for members only, there are no previous-publication issues to be resolved, and I know of zero incidents of plagiarism from those boards.

I do, however, delete the work after it seems to have drawn all the critiques it's going to, usually after a week or ten days.

BTW, I'm the only person I know whose work *has* been plagiarized and sold by someone else. It didn't happen as a result of posting online at AbsoluteWrite but from another online critique source.

Answer 2

i'm uncertain that "classic" is the appropriate notice for this way of cinquain, in spite of the undeniable fact that it does extra healthful certainly one of three varieties commonly generic as a cinquain. despite the fact that this actual trend would not require the 1st and final words to be synonymous, the cinquain has a tendency to have extra effect while they're such. Your different cinquains did a extra efficient activity of it...despite the fact that stanza 2 is actual completed. Stanza one creates an excellent image, yet stanza 3 seems slightly a stretch. that's sparkling you have good command of the language and are adept at image advent...do exactly no longer substitute right into a slave to kind to the component of dropping the intensity of your concentration. ...and save writing

Answer 3

You can join Absolute Write Water Cooler. but I seriously y5, advise against posting your work online. Plagiarists have a picnic with it. And publishers do not want to get involved with work previously posted online due to expensive legal issues establishing true ownership. Pax- C
