How'd You Find This Site?

I'm a member of another forum, but realised there wasn't a lot of talk about actual writing, more about how many copies people were selling, which was good for motivation. I just googled best writers forum and here I am.

I don't even remember - lame I know

Hey-Yo!

Generic Universe; then finding a link to Writers Resource and then to here…
I’ve been looking around I(here and there) for a good writers forum and decided on this one.

I was looking up "dromedary" on a famous search engine (think "boondoggle") and accidentally clicked an ad-word linking to pepperspray.com, where a pop-up for designer galoshes took over my screen. When I clicked the RETURN button, it brought me here. A funny coincidence, when you think about it.

I was sent a link by a friend. I am really glad I checked it out. It's a lot of fun, very educational and very friendly.

I found you all by using my Google-fu on Urban Fantasy Writing Forums....Looked through a couple other forums and voila! I is here.

Google eyes are everywhere...

Went searching for plot ideas and information on Google - this site popped up. Glad to have found it.

I was googling ways to promote my erotica book and I was linked to this forum.

Frantic searches on agent names and query letter advice.

This site was heavily encouraged at the first writing conference I went to, so I thought I'd have to get involved. I think I set up my account within the week, but this is my very first post. ACK.

I was googling advice on finding a literary agent and querying, just for fun. Voila! This amazing place popped up!

I was trying to network with new writers when one of them suggested this site.

Google is my online map

Pffffft. It's been so long, but I'm fairly certain a friend suggested it to me. Hurrah friend!

how i got here.

many years ago, i knew an interesting character named herman slater, who owned the magickal child on w 19th st in nyc. yesterday, i found a list of things my daughter was meaning to look up on google. there on her to-do list was the magickal child. wow!
this started a conversation about herman and some other interesting personalities i've known through the years. my daughter was astounded! "how could mom know these people!? she's...well, she's... she's mom! my mom!!".
mom bakes,cooks,cleans. mom does not go into shadowy shops full of mysterious herbs and books to visit with friends.
anyway, one of the answers to the search, led me here, somehow.
i will visit and wander around, be a little nosy. if i feel it, i'll make myself at home.
the end.

I was using yahoo answers searching for a good writing community, and I saw this site was mentioned. When I came here I sensed something different, something special. So I signed up right away!

I arrived from a search for 'free forums." Erotica was the first writing forum I saw, but a few names down AW popped up. After looking around I decided this was what I was looking for.

I found this site when doing an online search for beta writers. So far I'm very excited about the friendliness I've seen here. I look forward to digging and learning all I can from the people who post here.

It came as a recommendation on a Google community. I was looking for reference material and one user stated that she comes here for all her questions

I found it through writer's digest also. Originally, and then I found it again when I was doing specific research on gunshot wounds. That's when I decided to join.

It was part of my plan when I invented the Internet...

Honestly, I don't really remember how I found this site. Some basic search engine back in the day, I guess. I found some very good tips on Writing and the Publishing Industry here, and once upon a time, some very friendly and funny people too. But then things got kinda serious around here and I haven't been back on AW for awhile now. (I almost feel like a Newbie again.) But things seem to be back to normal, informative and safe, so I think I'll lurk and check AW out again. I need the inspiration, and I find that Absolute Write - and the AW Community, can definitely give me the inspiration I need to continue my writing. (Yes, and I still need spellcheck too...)

An agent I queried suggested this site, so I checked it out. Looks pretty active, so we'll see what happens!

It was a long and terrible journey through the interwebz. Also, it was link from Critique Circle.

Scribophile

I'm a member of sribophile. Someone suggested this place for additional advice, support, etc. Looks pretty cool so far. So's scribophile, if you're interested.

I searched Google for the term Beta Reader. These forums were listed as #3. I poked around and liked the feel of the forums.
