I've been here for 1.5 years. I love it. I thought I'd share my few pearls of wisdom that'll help you learn quicker than I learned. This past weekend, I asked an fairly straightforward question that evolved into a sub bloggin post of it's own. Members started to get cross against … (20 comments)

AR people say that they belong for the fun. That it's not about the points. It's not about the rankings. I say that's a bunch of BS. It's about relationships, fun, the love of writing, the competition and the points. I think that it's all of it. I was a literature … (30 comments)
