Why we set up this site

Over at the Writing Resource, we are busy building a website which not only provides written content for blog and website owners who are too busy to write their own content, we are also in the very early stages of setting up our Writing Online School.

In the midst of all the chaos (and the ongoing writing projects we are paid to do), we discovered that we all have the same problems when it comes to writing: we all have days when we feel like writing, but the last thing we want to do is write the material we are being paid for. I know, that’s not the best way to run a business, is it?

The other ‘problem’ we all share is this: we want to write, and we want our words to be heard (and paid for, we have to admit ), but we cannot simply keep making new blogs for every subject we want to write about - these could be political, humorous, health and fitness, ‘how to’, our own research on products, general theories on anything, rants, recommendations, and general ‘blurbs’ which could just be of interest to someone else out there … Many of us have the odd erotic story we would love to see in print too, but it is only the one. How can you set up a blog with just one story, how ever good it might be?

In other words, we discovered we were all looking for somewhere to ‘go into print’ with anything we felt like. We all agreed it would be nice to have comments about this too (and that we would try not to get too upset if our ‘great works’ or ‘clever rants’ were cut down to size by others - at least we have all said we will not react badly to this… ).

So we agreed, “Why not make a blog/site where we, and anyone else who wants to, can post their writings? There would be no obligation on our part to print them (or even comment on them) and we would not claim ownership of the writings. Publication would be free, no strings attached.”

We have the subdomain at Writing-Resource.com, so why not put a Wordpress blog on it and see what happens?

Now we are waiting for the first brave person to come forward and post their thoughts online.

We promise we will be kind!
