I write articles, poetry and children's books. And if writing.com is anything like poetry.com, I wouldn't recommend it.

writing.com is completely different... you need to earn your membership or even otherwise you always do have a free membership... its a great website... i love writing and reading ... i have written ... stories, surveys, scripts, etc etc,, i love to write about my daily routine at the end of the day... helps me learn my mistakes really... i also love to write my finances down and get them straight before i am about to get the salary;;

I have not yet added anything to my portfolio on writing.com, it is a very deverse site with lots of things that you can do on it. I suggest checking it out, there are lots of fun things you can do there besides write, like making your own crosswords or word searches and then people can play them. From what I have figured out, it is not a paid site, it is a place to build a portfolio and then let people view your work, I have only been there for like a week, so there could be pay involved, but not from what I understand so far.

i dont think there is any pay involved ,,, unless you came across something like that ... i mean its a great website ,,, i have been a member for almost 9 months now and i feel great to write there and get the comments from some of the senior members out there i think it feels nice to be there and conduct some new surveys and get to know what how others think and act ... i learnt a lot on writing.com

I write poems and I joined a similar thing years ago , they published my poems but only 1 per book and I bought 3 books ie 3 poems published but then realised that's how they were doing it , everyone with a poem bought a book , I stopped it after a while I couldn't afford it , xx

To be honest at this time in my life I only have time to care for my family and write here but I would think about it at a later time , good luck to you though xxx

I have published more than 10 poems at poetry.com I did not win in any contest but I was offered to buy a book where my poems are. I have been to writing.com but it's not for me because I'm very busy with my translation work. I am a Christian, a child of God, baptized into Christ on October 1, 1989 and I belong to the Church of Christ founded and headed by Christ as shown in Acts Chapter 2. I am given the gift of knowledge and understanding Bible Greek and I translate the Word of God from Greek to English PLAINLY - Greek word into its English equivalent with additional words for grammar purposes written in italics so that readers may delete them as the wish. I have already published THE WILL New Testament (Greek to English), GENESIS & EXODUS (Greek to English), ELEMENTS of SALVATION, The Right Way, GOD, ORIGIN, TRANSFER into PERFECTION, GREEK-ENGLISH (Grammar & Vocabulary), WORDS in THE WILL New Testament, and others shown at http://www.lulu.com/arseniajoaquin

Well everytime I have an idea about something, I write them down on a piece of paper and start thinking about the main points of each one. Start writing about what made me think about them and do a little research for them just to make them look a bit better.

I write about personal experience. I write on associatedcontent.com They don't pay a whole lot but it helps build your portfolio and you can earn a few extra dollars here and there. They pay via paypal and usually take 5-10 business days to get back to you on your submission.
