Two years ago I took my first steps to write and I came to this website. Every writer who read my work on this web site offered me useful advice. They explained what I was doing wrong but also what I was doing right. I didn't expect such detailed feedback.
Mostly I learned of acceptance and yes some humility. The writing contests offer challenges I normally would never have attempted. I'm writing poetry that I didn't even know that existed. Haiku? What's that? Acrostic? Huh? That's part of where I get my enjoyment. The site is constantly challenging writers to try something different.
Very interesting and enjoyable site. If you write poetry or stories or are thinking of doing so I recommend it. You don't have to have a lot of experience (or any like me) you can learn from the site.
