A few comments from writers

My family and friends have often told me that I was a good writer, but I always shook it off as them just being kind to me; like telling a six-year-old that his indecipherable drawing of grandma's house is a masterpiece. Then, when I found Writers On The Loose, I thought that I would give it a try and see what complete strangers thought, and I have been surprised, pleased, and motivated by many of the positive comments and feedback I have received. I am unable to produce a story, poem, thought, etc., as often as I would like, and I am unable to type as fast as I can think, but when I do post an original article, I can only hope that my critics will enjoy it, and be truthful, gentle, and entertaining in their comments, and offer me positive and constructive feedback. I look forward to being here for awhile, and I look forward to seeing you here too. Won't You Join Us?

I started on WOTL as a way to express a point of view that was so often deleted by the Minister of Disinformation, Bob Lonsberry. An unexpected consequence is that I've enjoyed my time here and have "made some friends" although I've never actually seen any of them in person. There is quite a bit of valuable information to be gained from this small clique of writers and dawgawnit, I think I may have learned a thing or two. I still get deleted by Lonsberry regularly (when I bother to read his columns that is) but now I can vent right here on his very own web site. Thanks Bob!!

I've been writing at Writers On The Loose off and on since 2005. I like the diversity in ideas and styles that are represented. The site is set up in a way that allows people to see your ISP number when you leave comments. This allows them to get some personal information about you. Threats of physical violence and stalking behavior are acceptable, which adds an element of excitement if you disagree with those on the religious right! So jump right in! Sign up for a trial membership and give it a try. If you like it, stick around and join our happy family.

Writers on The Loose has been a terrific web site that allows me the opportunity to write and write and write. It's cheaper than therapy and much more productive. I especially appreciate the opportunity to give and receive feedback. I also have the opportunity to dump anyone's comments I do not want to post. Writers On The Loose designer was ingenious, allowing the ordinary person an extrodarinary experience.

WOTL has helped me focus and has brought clarity to my writing through an amazing community. Thank you! Look for my new book in early 2008... 9 Secrets To Protect Your Marriage A Former Exotic Dancer Speaks Out

I have been a member of Writers on the Loose since August, 2003. We have an awesome group of folks here who bring forth a wide variety of writing subjects and styles. Since I've joined WOTL, I have never looked back. Sometimes my account runs out, but inevitably, I come back because I feel like this is my 2nd or 3rd, maybe 4th home!

Writers n the Loose, we affectionately call it WOTL, is addicting and a great outlet for many forms of expression. We have writers, artists, photographers, comedians and even poets all sharing the same stage. The atmosphere ranges from cozy friendships to old grey battleships blazing away at one another through the comments feature here. There are more fancy sites, sites with more folks who frequent them, and sites with more features, this is true. What you wont find elsewhere is the unique mixture of personalities who all love to laugh with and at each other day and night, from the east coast to the west. The pace is just right, so even folks who aren’t expert typers can have some fun, too! So come on in, and hang out with us, you'll see and it’s free! They have a trial thingie where you can test your skills before you fork out the $20 bucks for a membership, or you can just hang out and drop comments for other folks who have written articles. It’s all good and I promise, we don't bite... Much :)

WOTL is best described as an outlet. A place to be creative, critical, humorous, cynical, and sometomes even friendly. Somedays its group therapy, and some days its best ignored. One thing for sure is that if you ever post here you will always come back. I started in 2004 and quickly gathered a small following who always read my musings and always asked for more. I have taken breaks for various reasons due to time constraints but I always come back to share my thoughts. Try it, you'll like it.
