100th Post
This is the 100th post on ProWebWriter.com!We're just over a year old. There will be many more. I'm going to take a look back at the last year and then I'm going to share with you some of the exciting and upcoming things planned for PWW in the coming year.
Casting an Eye on the History Books
I bought the ProWebWriter.com domain in February of 2010 and quickly set about building a WordPress website. Prior to the existence of this site, I used Blogger, a free blogging service owned by Google. Here's the site: http://waxingpoeticwrites.blogspot.com I have nothing bad to say about Blogger, and I recommend the site for anyone who needs a website on the free. It's packed with features and a user-friendly interface.
ProWebWriter.com originally started out as my personal and professional website to help me procure freelance opportunities. I had the blog from the beginning, but in the beginning I used it to showcase different types of writing I've done. The remnants of that portfolio still exist on the site. It's much easier to direct potential clients to a website than to attach writing samples to an email. Which is why writers should have websites!
I also chose to write about some personal interests on PWW which is why you see categories like Attention Deficit Disorder and Intracranial Hypertension. Oddly enough, these are some of the most popular topics on the site. It's not really what I was going for, but I'm okay with it.
After the start of 2011, I decided to convert this website into a community and resource for writers everywhere. As writers, we all take a journey, and this is mine. I hope it can help other writers as they travel. My goal is simple, I will move forward in my writing career while helping other writers get where I am.
ProWebWriter now has a newsletter, forums, and regular articles to help other writers and to build a community where writers can help each other.
Upcoming
Throughout the coming year, PWW hopes to garner more members and become a resource to writers who are seeking to become independent authors. In the near future, we will be covering how to get your book up for sale at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, as well as a number of other venues. We will tackle getting your book out in print too. Bookmark us, if you haven't.
