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!

You know, a long time ago I was told by a journalism teacher that the best writers often write when things in their lives are not at their best. I have always kept that thought in mind and have noticed over the years that when I am in my happiest moments, I either do not write or what I write is not worth the time, paper, and ink. However, during times of despair or stress I seem to become a machine. My words flow from my mind down into my neck, off my shoulder and down my arm, into my fingers, and spill out in a rhythmic clicking on my keyboard and onto my monitor.
This is what the WOTL is about, a site to share words that cannot be spoken or heard but read and absorbed by the imagination. A place where everyone has at least one thing in common…..
The mind and understanding of a writer.

I have enjoyed writing here immensely. The part I like best is actually meeting some of the other writers. They get together to share a meal and good times. Good fun.

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 :)

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?

WOTL is a great place to express your opinions, try out your poetic skills or just post a joke. A place to find spirited discussions of local and national issues.

I enjoy writing about anything that happens to come to mind. It can be the weather, growing up in Rhode Island or bad drivers. Someone else can usually relate to it or have a similar story to tell. It is fun.

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.
