How'd You Find This Site?

A buddy of mine online sent me a link to his story to look it over for him.

Joined the forum...


Didn't read the story....

I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how I found this site the first time... that was month's ago, and then it languished forgotten, to only recently be picked up and reexamined.

Plus, I had to sign up again bcs I'd completely forgotten my user id and password.

I'm not sure how I found it. It just seemed to be in my favourites and I decided to see what it was. I guess I must've saved the link from a while before.

It was recommended by a writer friend as a useful resource and forum. And as I'm always looking for excuses to procrastinate, having yet another forum to browse through is no bad thing! Now I can learn tons more about the business of writing without actually doing any...

A dozen security guards in training were running in formation in the parking lot eight stories below. Their rythmic, shouted chants caused me to drift off into a daydream. I saw a world where there was no fear, where a dolt like me could write and be read... When I awoke, the Firefox icon in my Taskbar was pulsing for attention. I was drawn to click the mouse. Well, it could have happened that way. In this existence, I was Googling a word I ran across on the Brevity Magazine Website and was blessed with a link to Absolute Write.

I found it by googling an agent. I've been hooked ever since.

you know what? I joined yesterday and I have no idea how I ended up here!

I started out on my blog, than clicked a link from my blogroll to someone elses's blog. From there I clicked a link to another writing site. After that I must have clicked on 3 or 4 other links and befor I knew it I was here, and I loved reading your posts, so I joined and here I am!

I actually found this website while doing research on Literary Agents for my novel. It has been an extremely effective and wondeful tool.

Fell over in a drunken stupour and slammed me hayd into the keyboard-suddenly I was a writer-blah blah blah!

HI

I found out about this site through The_monkey on line

I was just surfing the internet trying to find resources for writers and thats how I came across this site.

Rather pedestrian: I googled writer's message boards.

I did a google search on characterization.

I googled 'Writing Mentors' or 'Mentors for Writers' and saw an article connected to this site.

On a busy Tuesday morn
Your relentless newsletter came
A love sonnet contest had been born
Now I'm here to play this poetic game!

I found it months ago, but I can't remember. I must have been googling something writing related and ran across it.

I joined the Done Deal board and found a link to you. While Done Deal looks good and seems reasonably busy this place just seems more lively and has a sense of fun with the way it's laid out. I think I will feel more comfortable here and definitely intend to become a regular poster. This is a really cool site!

Hmmm, good question! I know I've been lurking here for about four years before I decided to finally join. I think I found Absolute Write when an aquaintance of mine announced she was having a book pubbed by the infamous PA. In fact, I recall telling her I'd read someplace (not here) that going with PA was not such a good thing. Later I googled PA to find out more about it (e.g. was it really so bad?) and discovered the PA thread. Lively thread
