How'd You Find This Site?

Referred by a fellow member of a local writing group. It's beginning to look like the fundamental greatness of this site is the only thing we'll ever agree on.

edit: the only thing on which we'll ever agree.

I was doing a search on Publishing for Less and this site came up.

I was googling for freelance sites and boy am I glad I clicked on this link!

Hello,

I discovered the site on yesterday thanks to another site-Miss Snark. I officially became a newbie TODAY! (Actually, it was this evening at approximately 8:59 p.m.) (Smile).

I am so appreciative of everything I've already learned. So glad I found it and glad to be here.

I'm off to Share Your Work to continue reading and sharing.

I found this site on Google...when I was randomly looking for writing forums. And this was the best one I found, and I'm completely in love with it!!!

I've only been a member for a couple of months. I found the site when I came close to being sucked into one of the scams Jenna discussed in her last newsletter. Got my first response to a query from a supposed agent's site, sent in two chapters, another response, then the hook--we think the book needs a "little editing, and here's who you should see."

I googled the agency. The site came up. I paged through some great archives that made things perfectly clear. Then joined and have found the site to be not only informative but tolerant of newbies and ignorance.

I'll be honest--in some other circumstances, I've felt very much like the first grader wearing all the wrong clothes, carrying a Raggedy Ann lunchbox, and having to do my work with those jumbo green pencils because my mother thought they would be easier to hold than the standard yellow #2 Ticonderogas.

I googled, "how to get published". Absolutewrite.com was one of the results and while reading that site, I found the forum. Best result search I have had in a LONG time.

*blush* - I don't remember how I found this place. I've been hanging around for quite a while now but have lurked much more than I've talked.

This is a great place, though, and I'm gradually getting more talkative!

thanks to Duotrope...

...and Coyote Wild - where i found the link to Absolute Write.

very interesting site you have here. i look forward to mingling.

I found this site from Jenna's book - "Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer."

Best book I've read yet on freelance writing.

I got here because whenever I searched for "how to find a literary agent" it came up. Then, yesterday, I ended up at nelsonhayden.com reading the saga of AW getting cut off by its ISP and I decided to see what exactly it was that everyone valued so much. It was immediately obvioius when I got here.

So, what did happen? Is there litigation in progress? I haven't found a thread about it yet.

I found it by accident when googling for information on a project I am working on. It took me to the YA forum and from there I was hooked.

I found it on yahoo and thought the name was interesting

I googled for "Writer's Digest 6th annual short short story competition", and one of the links that came up was from a posting on this forum. Clicked it, and the rest is history.

This smiley has a strange appeal to me, so I'll be using it a lot I believe.

Some of my friend introduces it to me.

I found this site through a web advertisement. I originally subscribed to the Absolute Write e-mail, and then saw the link for "writers want to know" and followed it here!

I posted something on a different forum, but it wasn't really a writer's forum, merely a fans forum.
So one of my friends there referred me here.
And, well, here I am!!
