How'd You Find This Site?

I found this site searching on Google for query letter examples.

I wish I could remember! AW has been bookmarked on my browser for a long time. I'm so glad everyone is still here now that I'm ready to take it all in!

It was a very lengthy chain of clicking one link to another. I started out on Reddit's Writing Contests subforum. One or two of the contests originated on authors.me. From there, I googled what authors.me even was, or if it was even worth signing up for. One of those links brought me here. Yay for following that chain of events.

Click, click, click, and I'm here. Lost track of the route. But it started with a site recommendation in Jane Friedman's "Publishing 101."
So far, this seems like a good site -- but where does a writer find the time to participate much? And the learning curve on finding information seems steep because it's a dense site. Glad I'm here, in any case. Hope all my fellow writers are finding success of one kind or another!

I found this site recently through a random Google search. However, I've heard of it before, and I think years ago I may have actually joined. I don't remember so much now, but the format seems familiar.

If you can remember what email address or username you used, I'll see if I can find you.

My dear friend Google led me here. Don't remember the exact search term I used, "online writers groups" maybe. But AW was one of the first results, and I've seen references to AW over the last few years in and around the Interwebz, so I figured now was the time to jump in.

Trawling the internet looking for a beta reader. I stumbled on a site that spoke highly of AW so, here I am, still looking for a beta reader

I have now found three beta readers. Happy Days!

I came here because it was mentioned (in a good way) by Writer Beware, a blog I recently started browsing since it has good tips for guys like me who are just starting to look at publishing options and need to know what's good and bad out there.

I was on another writing website and saw this one mentioned. Actually, though, I've heard of this site before I recently joined. I actually think I joined at a certain point several years ago. The 50 post minimum to begin the workshop portion of the site is a bit steep, though, which is why I probably didn't hang around last time. Let's see how this time works out.

I've known about the Water Cooler for years. Have no idea how I originally came across it. Probably a web search. I have been thinking of joining for years...I'm kinda slow off the mark!

I was researching what it felt like to be shot and and an archived thread came up on the search results, so I followed the rabbit hole.

I'm happy I found my way here on recommendation from lit agent Mandy Hubbard. It's was the silver lining after she rejected my query. Must've been a pretty anticlimactic one. Womp womp. Hopefully, I can pick up some tips here that will allow me to pimp myself out better the next time...

I was searching (via google) for a writing forum, with room for fantasy writing, to join and noticed a yahoo ask question where a person is asking about the best place to join a writing community and few people mentioned this place, so I figured, why not try it out, I can always leave if it is not for me.

I was reading Sarah J Maas site and she had a link to a friend on how to get published and she talked about this site and finding good CPs. I thought I would check it out.

I heard about this community in one of Brandon Sanderson's BYU lecture videos.

Google ........ what would we do with out it? I was looking for a place to submit some stories, and this site came highly recommended.

I have no idea, but hello.

I got here from a Google search about word counts for a certain novel. The link was to a discussion from earlier this year, and not only answered my question, got me intrigued into the forum. So I joined.

Janice hardy's blog, fiction university is what she calls it. I love her blog, and she recommends this site as a way to get involved with the writing community.

A Google search for information about prospective agents to take on my new novel led to a discussion about the company in one of the threads here. I liked both the thread as well as the general overall site, so I have decided to remain, at least for a little while.

A friend recommended it to me after I spent a good chunk of time complaining about writing groups I was already following.

I think I was searching for query letter help and it popped up. After that, I saw it everywhere and basically had no choice but to join

Trying to google a whole range of things to do with death and murder and ID without typing the actual thing into google
