It has come to my attention that the reasons why we as authors and poets write as slowly being lost to the sounds of Jack Bower of 24 or Simon Cowell. Everyone needs a little reminder now and again of why they write and this is why I think we need this page.

I found my inspiration last night from a very unexpected source and I hope you all will read on it then contribute your own inspirations.

Join me at Why I Write to remind yourself why you write.

It is quite obvious things aren’t going to anyone’s plans on Writersco, but that doesn’t mean we all give up. Were out there and working to keep the heart beat going, we are the movement that’s going to save WC. I encourage you all to come and watch as things start changing around here. Slowly the forums will pick up, contests are going to restart and the E-zine will be back on the front page within a month so look for that. WC is dead, it’s in a coma and we can bring her out. This is my letter of encouragement.

Now this is my challenge. I challenge every member on to mail another active member they normally would, remember, if we fail, let’s fail together because there’s bound to be one genius among us who stops it at the last minute. And that would be me. If you want, mail me, I’m taking ideas and complaints and printing them off as I get them and I’m going to fix this place up.

So, go post in the forums. Give me writings for the E-zine. Don’t worry, over stressing is a very bad idea. Let’s be that rag tag band of rebels who accomplishes. The Movement

Regards and OHY! [Ash]

Hello Everyone!

You may have already noticed the Amazon Book search to the left and strange orange links appearing within text on the Main Page. These are new income driver specifically for WritersCo, so anything earned via them will pay for the domain, the shoutbox, any future additions that members would like (that cost) and also the possibility of introducing Amazon Gift voucher prizes.

We will see how they go anyways - If they become too annoying, or interfere with other links etc, they will be removed.

There is now a shout box on Main Page! (Just over there to the left) You can use this new feature to say your hellos, how are yas and what nots, even talk about your writing or reading.

Just remember that whatever you write there everyone will be able to see it, and we don't want to be reading anything inappropriate!

At the moment this particular shout box is not linked in with the WC sign on, so you will have to type in your name before you post.

Anyways enjoy, and hope you all can find a use out of it! Chat away!
