How'd You Find This Site?

Italics

Ambrosia said:

I was tearing my hair out from several hours of googling information about underlining text to indicate italics in a manuscript when Absolute Write popped up. I looked at the site, still didn't find the answer to my question, saw a forum link and thought, "why not? Surely someone there will be able to answer my question." And here I am.

So, Ambrosia did you find the answer to your question?
I thort about this for some time, I was thinking that it may well depend on what word processor you are using, does this make any sense to you?

Google

Someone linked it on the NaNo boards.

I submitted an excerpt of my work to a local writers' group as an "audition piece", hoping to join them. And would you believe it, they rejected me and tried to palm me off on to some poxy website instead! Just a cheap way of salving their conscience after rejecting me, I reckoned. After a few days grumbling and bad-mouthing them in my head, I had a quick look at this Absolute Write thing they'd suggested. And I haven't looked back! This is an excellent site. Much better than belonging to a writers' group...

I was doing a search on information on Publish America--this was just after I had found out about their scam--and foud a thread that talked about it, and found out about AW. I came back a few times before I joined, since I did need advise, anyway.

I was referred by Cyia who I met on another board. I like it so far. Everyone's very friendly. Looks like there's lots of good info.

I've posted a fic for critique in SYW under Women's fic. I'd love critique. Here's the link. http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130610

I was linked here by a friend who is a member here. She and I are both aspiring novelists.

I found it through google. I searched for something about writing, and found the "Learn Writing with Uncle Jim" thread. I glanced through it and was hooked.

I did a google search yesterday on how to heal a punctured lung with comparatively primitive medicine, and then I felled in lorb. But I didn't join then.

I decided to do that today when I was mapping out titles for a series, and I figured, who better to find snippets and phrases than a bunch of writers who actually... you know... write.

A friend was showing me all the google search sites she'd found with "Freelance Writing Jobs" as the search terms, I fell into a blog called Freelance Writing Jobs and read it for a bit until I eventually found a link in one of the posts to the Absolute Write page and its forum.

I found it through the Writer's Digest website's list of the 101 Best Websites of 2008.

I was researching if authorhouse.com was legit and someone on yahoo answers said check this site out for reviews....

I was searching for query letter help and manuscript formatting, and kept finding at the top of the heap of sites was this place called "Absolute Write." With a 12K dialup, I don't float around too much so I kept ignoring it. Finally, just to satisfy my curiosity, I clicked on the link to query hell.

Howdy!
I found this website while looking up background info on a couple literary agencies. The information I received was useful, so I thought "Why not join?"

Hopefully I will be as much use to you all as you have been to me.

I googled script writing chat rooms and found this interesting place. Never been on a chat room or posted anything before.

I was looking for information on ICL when this link popped up in Google with a long thread about the school and a lot of other information I was looking for.

As with many of the answers here, I was doing a web search for writer's forums, specifically with active forums on fantasy writing, and found several recommended links to AbsoluteWriter. Looks like this is a pretty active board, so I must say I'm pretty excited.

Google. P=

a yahoo answer

I was trying to find active screenwriting communities in google and came across a list of site which included this one.

My friends wanted to gouge my eyeballs out with all the opinions and questions I had for them, so I decided to find a forum. Google was the middle man.

Searching for lit agencies and query information, everything I was looking for kept popping up on this site. I'm so glad I found you...

My brother stuck a post-it on my computer with the URL and a "No, You!" at the bottom. xD

I found this website through a Google Search for free online writing Groups.
